Hey!!!

Hello Ladies! The last couple weeks have been so busy for me with work. WOW. I had no idea going into this internship how time consuming it would be but I love it. Each day is a mix of memorable and challenging moments with the children at the Boys and Girls Club in Janesville. I am still enjoying summer in the little free time I have but it is going by way too fast. I can't believe I am going to be starting student teaching on August 25th and that isn't too long from now. AH!!

A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to visit Amanda in Madison! We watched some of the olympic trials together. It was wonderful to see her so happy and get to catch up. Also, this past weekend was RiverFest so Heney and Quade and I hit up the Beach Boys Concert! It was great to spend time with those to crazy ladies and the night was full of lots of laughs. Getting to see some of you has made this summer so great. I can't wait to see the rest of you very soon! Lots of stories and good times to catch up on. Lastly, last week I went our for dinner with Eckburg after hanging out with him at his weekly radio show for WBCR. He is running a 100 miler this week so wish him all the best. I know Marta went out to Vermount to cheer him on but I will let you all know how it goes when I hear. I ran into Karl at the library this week and he is busy studying for his teaching license. He looked good and it was nice to bump into him! I think that is all for updates... oh wait, I sent Carly flowers and we have been in close contact. She is at home recoverying and if you get a chance call her and say hi!

So life is good right now for me. Miss you all like crazy and keep the updates coming you all. I will just keep doing my thing with all these kidos! The best thing about my summer is I get to bring out the best in kids! What more could I ask for??? :) Love to you all!
