the update
LOTS of things have been going on since I last posted:
I graduated! Almost....I am doing my athletic training internship right now and have about 370 hours left to finish. So I got to walk for my college graduation ceremonies. My cousins and I then went out to celebrate for the next couple of nights then I went back to the westside of the mountains to see family before I become a marathon ankle taper.
Just did the usual family thing when I was back home. Got to go onto Ft. Lewis a few times with my sis to get a few things done before her husband came back from Iraq (which he did a couple nights ago).
Figured out some more definate plans for the wedding....
We aren't going to do a big ceremony. Both of us didn't want it in the first place, we were just going to do it for the families. Also since the duty that James will be pulling in Montana isn't flexible (at all) we have pretty much a 0 chance of anything big next summer. So he is going to burn up leave time on his way to Montana and we are going to do a courthouse thing or else a VERY SMALL family and close friends only type of thing either over here or over near my dad's house near Tacoma on one of the beaches that he lives by then do a reception at his house since he has a good size house. Our families are happy for that and understand why. So hopefully that will go down the first week in August. The plus side of that is that we can get our name on the base housing list since the wait list right now is just about a month which will be perfect for when I finally can make it over here.
So I came back to school late Friday night so I could watch my cousin graduate. Started my internship with a volleyball camp. Not much to do there except tape an ankle or two and hand out lots of band-aids due to the basketball textured floor that they took some good slides on. Did the evening football camp yesterday since I was in charge of the last part of volleyball. Taped a few ankles and made ice bags. But today...MARATHON ANKLE TAPING!!! Also got to tape up many wrists and thumbs. Got to help a couple people off the field, observe many injury assesment tests, and got to bandage up some GOOD cuts and turf burns.
I probably won't be updating much during the week since I am working lots of 13+ hour days and just want to go to bed when I get back home. On the plus side of the crappy hours that go for 10 days at a time...I get free food. :-D So it's all good.
I have to catch up on journals that I get to do daily for the internship. Luckily I am just behind 3 days versus 5 weeks like some of my friends.
Hope everybody is doing well!
