I'm back from MN. It was really really fun. I had forgotten how much fun those volleyball trips are. The team is so close it feels like you are there with a big family. I will really miss my teammates... and even my crazy coach. She sent us an email filled with advice for us, since she is now allowed to be "more than your mean club coach". She made a speech to us and the parents and in it she said she was grateful to the parents for putting up with someone who made their kids "feel like crap a lot of times". The funny thing is that I am so grateful to her. She wasn't my friend, she was my coach. A great coach.
I leave for Colorado soon. July 21st to be exact... after the Harry Potter party of course! That will be pretty cool. Speaking of Harry Potter we (Me, Sarah, Dan, and Nori) just saw the new movie last night/this morning. It was a good movie even if it did differ from the books a lot. Harry Potter is hard to mess up. It was definitely better than the Chamber of Secrets movie which was so boring I fell asleep. We had a lot of fun waiting in line doing Sudoku, talking, and listening to Dan be like a gay Dr. Phil. But it's okay Dan... we trust you.
I just got a new camera and I am having a lot of fun taking pictures with the cool color accent feature that Canon has. I'll put some photos up at the end of this post. It's a fun thing to do. I took Maggie May out for a walk today with my camera strapped to me. Lots of fun. There are so many beautiful things out there that I drive past everyday without really noticing them.
I have a dentist appointment on Friday. We are going to have to continue our monthly chat, right Sarah? "So, have you been flossing?"
Guilty look, fingers crossed behind the back, "Uh, yeeessss."
"This isn't like talking on the phone. I can see your fingers."

I have been working like a madwoman getting all of my college stuff straightened out. I think I have called Loma every single day this week. They know my name. Me and Nancy are getting to be pretty tight. Sweet foo.
And Kevin comes back extremely soon!!!!! So, as you can imagine, I'm pretty happy. :)
