USU's Brianna Harris Honored As WAC Women's Tennis Player Of The Week

March 2, 2011

LOGAN, Utah - Utah State junior Brianna Harris was honored by the Western Athletic Conference for her perfect, 5-0, week and was named the Verizon Women's Tennis Player of the Week award. The conference office selected the award and announced it on Tuesday.

Harris, a junior from Calgary, Canada (Bishop Carroll HS), went 5-0 in singles play during the week, helping Utah State to a 4-1 record in the process. Harris was able to start the week well as she defeated Eastern Washington's Rocio Norena, 6-0, 6-2. In the lone Utah State loss, at North Texas, 6-1, Harris managed the lone point for USU, as she defeated Carolina Barboza, 6-3, 0-6, 6-2. Harris wouldn't drop a set in her next three matches to close out the week by defeating Temple College's Valentina Kecman (6-0, 6-0), Seminole College's Ashley Coleman (6-0, 6-0), and Collin County Community College's Regan Perma (6-0, 6-0).

Harris is the second women's player from USU to capture the WAC honor, as senior Hailey Swenson was honored on Feb. 8 for her early season performance.

Harris and the Utah State women's tennis will not see the court again for over three weeks when the team travels to the West Coast for a two-match road trip. The Aggies will take on San Francisco on Thursday, March 24, followed with a bout against conference foe San Jose State on Friday, March 25.

Of course, I will never forget the honor YOU received by being a BYU racquetball superstar. Didn't mention that one!

Well, Bree is quite a gal! I'm so excited to be celebrating her wedding reception HERE in Utah. Like, Utah County!

Love, Ginger

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby.

I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
