So it is mid-October already....just went camping with the scouts, zip lining and canopy tour...and now to prepare for another scouting outing to Laurel Caverns!  I had a book party for my neighbor and friend Janet for her new book, Because I Can and we got Angel's hair cut..her first time with us!  Lots more to come...

First Day of Hockey....

Today was my first practice for my new team, the Reading Reign!  I had a very good practice, I felt good on skates and I the practice was ran well by the coach!  In the past I have played right defense, but this year, they have me on the left side.  It is fine, I will adjust! 

So in July, Dave, DJ, Angel, and I spent the day in Carlise at the War Memorial.  It was pretty good...we had a fun family day!

Day 2 of Blogging...

So you got to hear a bit about my travels to Milwaukee.  We were very sad to leave each other, but happy to return to our families.  These pictures are from the last days in Milwaukee.

After Milwaukee, I drove to meet Dave and DJ in Leesburg VA. IMy drive home was a bit more eventful as I spent 3 hours going through Chicago! So I left at like 1230 and it took me 16 hours to drive, so I had to stop and slept at a hotel on the way back. There was not much time difference between going to VA or heading home.


We stayed with my brother and sister in law!  We had a good time, but we were unable to go on the boat.  We spent time at the community pool and shopping of course!  ON the 4th of July, Alice and i found two stray beagles.  They were very cute and friendly.  We kept them over night till we could find their owners.  We found that their owners were not home and they got out of their backyard.  The situation was very grim as we noticed the one dog with a bum leg.  I think we should have done more, but we gave the dogs to the neighbor who agreed to care for them till their owners got home.  We later found out that the teenage son was home when we were ringing the door bell...I really worry about those pups as they were so good!

I'm Back...

So after five months, I have decided to continue my blog. I have missed the blogging and want to share in the joys that I have obtained in the past and will continue into the future. Now I can't go into lots of detail today about what the last five months have been like, so I will start with the month of June! June 2011 began a new chapter in my student life. I traveled to Milwaukee for the entire month. I drove out on June 4th. It took my 13 hours with a few stops for gas and potty breaks. It was a nice drive. I listened to books on tape and the radio..talked to a few people on the phone (with my ear piece) and enjoyed my ride! Once I got to Milwaukee, I settled into my apartment. I was by myself for the first day, but my friend John joined me the very next day. The next few weeks would provide me with some much needed time away from my family to really put my studies into perspective. I SKPYED DJ, Angel, and Dave every night and got to see my dogs, Shula and Joci! I really miss Shula..more about that later...Dave and DJ came out to visit for a long weekend. I did a lot of work and had fun with the other 16 in my group! When it was over, we headed for our annual visit with Ken and Alice! The pictures are from my friends in UWM's 2009 Cohort !
