This summer started out nice and slow. School ended on May 2nd and I got some time to relax, a chance to go home to Riverside to see my new niece and best friend who is getting married, Mikel and I got some time to hang out and I was able to go into the office whenever I wanted to.
With June has come a lot more volleyball. First, I went and worked a volleyball camp at St. Labre Indian School in Eastern Montana. I have never been six hours east in Montana and I had no idea there were places where I could get a call on my phone but not voicemails, text messages, or internet. Well, the internet thing didn't surprise me but the voicemails definitely did. It turns out the camp was definitely worth it and better than I thought it was going to be so the first camp of the year was a success!
After St. Labre, I came straight home and my whole team from Montana Western was here for the weekend. We had three days of practice, weight lifting sessions, team conditioning, and team meals. They were tired by the time it was over but it was a great opportunity to see how they work together and what our team will look like in the fall. I am so excited for our new players and how hard the returners are working. I think we'll be much better than last year and I can't wait to get started!
After my team was in town for the weekend, I headed to Idaho Falls to work another camp. This was another three days and I spent time both in Pocatello and in Idaho Falls. After camp was over I got myself a massage in Idaho Falls before the drive home. This was best idea ever!
Now, I have a week of work in the office before I head home next week for Jenny's wedding.
This has been all about me but it seems like Mikel has been the busy one. He is working almost every day at the golf course and golfing any other chance he gets. He usually goes early to work so he can golf before his shift for the day and sometimes goes with friends on his days off. Mikel also plays in the men's league at the par-3 golf course in town and got second this week!
