September Update

I am super behind on blogging and updating my photo of the day. I am sure I could come up with lots of reasons on my lack of blogging, but i won't bore you. Anyways here are some updates - in bullet form - to keep my readers happy!

• school is in full swing, progress reports go out Friday - which means that 1st quarter is almost over...FAST!! 
• I am coaching 8th grade girls volleyball right now, we are 1-1, we recently just beat up the Oxford Knights, my roommate Leah went to school at Oxford so it is ALWAYS fun to beat them. The girls like to beat them because Oxford also feeds into the same high school where my students will go...so they can rub it in for 4 years. :) 
• I help co-lead a group called FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) at my school. We meet on Friday mornings at 7AM. We have had 2 meetings and 50 kids have showed up both times. It is so fun to watch middle school kids talk about G-d! 
• I am going to a coaches Bible Study on Wednesday mornings at 6AM. It is a great way to fellowship with coaches around the district. It is early but always a great time. Tomorrow one of my new volleyball coaches is going to go. I am excited for that, plus that will bring the female number up to 4. There are usually more guys at coaching type functions in case you did not know this. 
• In the photo business: I have 3 family photo shoots lined up for October so that is fun and great news for the photography side of my life. I would like to do more but people just aren't signing up, which is fine. Whatever happens-happens.  
• I've been reading a few books lately: Covenant Relations and Captivating. I am doing a Bible Study with some freshman girls on Captivating - super great to be with them. Covenant Relations is a great book, if you haven't read it you should. 
• My roommates are going to Israel soon(ish) - most likely for 3 years! Whoa! I am excited to for them. BUT I will miss them all a TON. Skype is an amazing thing and I will be using that often. 
• I can get on blogger at work now - which is great news on days I don't have much planning to do or meetings. 
• I am still working out - however I am not doing as much as I was this summer. I am still not at my goal, however the lack of motivation is not as strong as it was this summer. I am hoping that changes soon.
