Where oh where have I been?!

Wow. It has been a LONG time. All summer to be exact. My summer was busy, but nice. I played quite a bit of softball, Lucas and I coached T-Ball; I worked and volunteered.

This summer our softball team did really well. We played in three tournaments, taking 1st in two out of the three. "ThunderLube" is our team name.

Lucas and I had QUITE the T-Ball team this year. Very hyper and very active. It was challenge but also tons of fun. We look forward to coaching again next season!

I had a great summer working at Miller Country Care. I got full time hours and was promoted to Manager in July. MCC is truly one of my homes away from home. I came up with the idea to have a Summer Picnic for family of employees and residents, so Dave and Kathy put me in charge of that. It was surprisingly a huge success and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. It was decided that it was our "First Annual Family Picnic". I'm sure I'll be planning the next one next summer. Leaving MCC this summer was really hard for me, as it was my last "full summer" of working there. Next August I will be starting my Practicum. I will be really sad on my last day, but will always go back to visit and am so grateful for all the knowledge I have attained.

Lastly, this summer I volunteered (or, as Holly would say, kissed ass) at Three Oaks in Marshfield. I wanted to do my practicum there and thought volunteering would help me get my foot in the door as well as familiarize myself with the building, people and overall atmosphere.
Well, it did work, I will "unofficiall" (at the time being) be doing my Practicum at Three Oaks. Bridget, the Executive Director told me I would be her first choice (out of a total of 3 students) and she will be mine!

I am now back at school; going to class, working at the front desk, babysitting Teddy, working at home every third weekend and just plain old trying to have some fun in between.
