Start the Music....I'm back!

Alrighty! My excuse: Anatomy!

July....oh wait, June, was great! We (me, Raul and his Mom) went to USA nationals. They were in Eugene. We saw anyone who is anyone in the track and field world. I got me a cute running shirt and an autograph picture of Galen Rupp (University of Oregon's All American/Olympian). When I came back and showed Raul and Pat (Pole Vault Coach at UW) they were disgusted b.c. UO and UW have a true hate for one another. That is why I didn't bring anything that was too purple just in case I got jumped in Eugene. I've been told that people will yell &$@% the Huskies. We stayed in a great hotel where most of the USA Track peeps were staying. It was fun to wake up and go down to breakfast to only see Sanya Richards (400m) munchin on some eggs and bacon.

Mary's stay was fun. It was nice to have her here. She was a great study buddy, especially on the drive to Eugene and back. She along with the rest of the Idaho family will be here in September. Can't wait! It seems like Raul and I talk about it every day. Our conversations usually start out "When my/your parents come....."

Erin "Tinker" Bell came to visit me. We did lots of Seattle fun stuff like take the bus downtown, shop at the best goodwill in the world (they sell 7's jeans), eat ice cream at Molly Moons, workout, and hit up Ivars for a delightful happy hour with the coaching staff. Thanks Erin for coming.

Then July came......and went but in the middle of it, I went and competed at USA Club Nationals for Track and Field in NY. It was AWESOME. I ran my personal best from college in the hurdles, threw a fantastic shot put, and scored in the jav. We saw some really great things in NY, to name a few: Empire state building (sat at the top), Rockefeller Plaza to see where my friend's Matt, Meredeth, Ann, and Al work, Central Park (my favorite), ate at the first ever pizza place in the US-Lombardi's, saw ground zero, Trinity church where the treasure was buried in National Treasure, St. Patrick's church, rode the subway (EVERYWHERE), went to Soho, "Saw" statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Battery Park, saw the big stock Market Bull, um....pretty much saw it all. Just like the T-shirt says, I LOVE NY. oh and I got a key chain.

The rest of July has been studying the human body. Going back to school has been very difficult, hats off to Margo for pushing through. Two more weeks left of this bad boy and I will be home free....next will be CNA class, August 10th.

August is going to be busy as well....not only am I starting my CNA course, Marcus (my bro) is coming to visit, and Raul's Friend Casey and Sofie are now are house mates until they find a cozy spot to live in Seattle. And Sara Jo is coming the 8th I am looking forward to lots of fun, food and friends. I hope to post some pictures but I didn't want August to fly by without any sort of update.
