So I guess it has been awhile since I wrote something, although I am not sure anyone reads this...maybe it is more of just a stress reliever for myself. So over the weekend I bought some new shoes, and I wanted to wear them to work today to show them to Emily. Well, over lunch it monsooned...just about the same time I needed to plug my meter, not good...I need to pick better days to wear sparkly shoes. We had a successful weekend with events for the YWCA. We handed out probably at least 200 coloring books to kids wearing life jackets at various lakes for the Safe Kids Coalition, now I want to know how many of those were in the lake by the end of the day. On Sunday, Uncle Ron, who owns Coyote Willy's held a huge pool party/ fundraiser for the YWCA. He collected so many pool toys, swimsuits, lifejackets, and towels...its incredible:) Ron, you rock!
I found out this weekend my parents might possibly be moving to Arizona...I'm feeling older and more on my own by the day. It will be weird not to have them close by....well I need to finish moving files around on my computer, Simon says it needs to be reformated.

Trying something out
So I am trying this whole blog thing out...I am not sure if I will write in it very much but I figured I will still try it out.
Swimming lessons were a blast tonight, I love being able to work with friends. Amelia made my day today by turning in her application to work at the YW. So now Megan and Amelia will work with me, I am excited!
Maddie, one of the little girls I teach was just adorable tonight. The lesson started by her telling me that she was five-years-old and a perfect swimmer. However when it came time to do front floats she screaming,"I CAN'T, I CAN'T!" at the top of her lungs. I told her it was ok and nothing bad was going to happen to her. She looked at me and whimpered, "You are not going to let go of me? " I said, "Of course not." After this she would periodically give her Mom the thumbs up sign and proclaim to her that she was doing good.
I became to think about this later and how this is a lot like my life, I really want people to hold on to me and not let go. I want to be able to have people that I can give the thumbs up sign and tell them that I know I am doing good. I wonder if I can get to that place when life isn't quite so scary, when I don't have an arranged schedule to get up to, when I know what I can offer to others.
