Season #2

My second season coaching C-Team volleyball at Dimond started last week.  I must say that I am a lot more impressed with this years picks and turnouts.  Having more knowledge in coaching, I feel super excited for this season.  I feel that the girls are hard workers as a whole.  I hope they don't get too comfortable because right now, I love the respect they give to the coaches and to each other.  We have team pictures next week and once I get a team picture, I will surely put one up.  Cory is volunteering his time again to help out at practices.  It is a real big help because then he can do drills and I can actually watch my players.  He is also excited to get them in weight room.  We are going to develop these girls into strong, fast athletes.  C-Team is always the "development" team and thats what I do.  As coaches, we give them all the tools they need for years later.

Since I was in the Dimond building, I got to visit my former co-workers.  It was so nice to see my special education staff and it made me miss my job as a teacher assistant a lot.  They seem to miss me too :)  I am glad I still get to visit everyone every now and then.  It is so nice to know they all support me in getting my degree.

Well Cory and I have until the 29th and then fall semester starts.  I am taking 3 math courses, in which two are upper division.  I had to take 3 this semester because all of those math courses are pretty arduous.  Then I have coaching on top of that.  I am also hoping to get more business for my photography.  I just got a family and a senior shoot done not too long ago.  The business is definitely helping bring money in on my part, which is great.  When I get finished editing photos, I get an itch to want to do more.

I am going to have to put this blog entry to a close.  Short, I know.  I hope I can have pictures next time!  Tonight we are going to drive down to Girdwood to hit up the Double Musky for some dinner with another couple.  Should be fun :)
