Here we go again!

After what has been an extremely long time, I am making a conscious effort to get back to my blogging ways!

Throughout the last year of my life, I've worked with some amazing adults, children and programs! I've learned more than I could ever imagine from the school department that I was fortunate enough to join. The staff and students took me into their community and made me feel like a family member returning from a long journey. No matter what happens in my career and life, I will never forget how I have felt in my time there!

This summer has brought me amazing experiences as well. To begin the glorious sunshine months, I was able to witness something I thought would never come. The Boston Bruins- WINNING the Stanley Cup! By growing up in a hockey crazed household, I had become accustom to the build up and the let down that is the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs. Needless to say, I celebrated that win like a true New Englander; on the streets of Boston. This was absolutely a memory I will never forget!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time this summer in the sun, exploring new music, attending concerts and following the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. My trip to Charlotte, NC in May was an experience I won't be forgetting anytime soon. The range of emotion I experienced during the Coca Cola 600 was incredible. If you ever have an opportunity to attend this patriotic and heart racing event, I highly recommend it. I've never felt such pride to be an American than I did during the pre-race events! The NASCAR season itself has been exciting and unpredictable to follow as well! With so many first-time winners, intensity, confrontation and a change in the format for the Chase, it's sure to be an exciting ending!
