This week I was downtown volunteering for the 2010 Special Olympics National games. It was SO fun to be a part of this organization and to have the privilege to interact with the athletes. I worked at Pershing in the Healthy Athletes division. Here they were able to go through and have their teeth looked and procedures done, vision checked and glasses prescribed on the spot, hearing checked (over 10 pairs of hearing aids were given out) and have their feet looked at and orthopedic inserts made on the spot for them. There was also a station for fitness to test their strength, help them stretch and learn about fitness. My first day I helped the athletes do strength exercises and the other two days I helped out at the Fit Feet station. It was so great to meet so many athletes and volunteers from all over the US. No one had a bad comment about Nebraska either :) I encourage everyone to help out with this organization if you get the chance!

Paaaaacking!

I had a really good weekend with my two girlfriends that came down to visit me. We got up Saturday morning and went to the farmers market. After that we spent about 4 hours shopping and ended the night by eating at Olive Garden, yuuuuum! This week has been nothing but packing!! I am SUPER excited to move in with Julie and Abby BUT, the packing is not one bit fun. I have also been helping my boyfriend move this week. It will be nice just to relax on Sunday and be glad its over! Hope everyone is having a great week! It sure is hot out!

Hope everyone had a pleasant holiday weekend! Mine was spent up in Sioux Falls SD kayaking and canoeing down some rivers. We have our roommate roundup on Friday and then it's BryanLGH night at the Salt Dogs game. I'm taking my best friend from high school and better see some fellow students there! I really don't have an interest in baseball, but I heard there were fireworks after the game :)
