Recent Happenings

Hey everyone!

Hope this post finds you doing well, as I have once again lacked to update you lately. So to make up for lost time, let's get to it:

After finishing my job with Speedy, Phil came up for a few weeks. It was an amazing time having him here and we got to travel a bit too. We met Jason, Jeanne, Chris, and Austin in Washington D.C. where we stayed with Alabama's Congressman. We toured the monuments, including the Smithsonian, and climbed to the top of the Capital Dome! (Pictures will be coming soon). It was a worth-while trip, thanks to Chris and his sweet connections. I hope that my parents will be able to make the trip soon and I would like to go back again as well.

Last week Phil and I traveled to Gulf Shores where we spent some time at the beach with his brother, sister-in-law, and their three kiddos. We had a good time although I think whomever invented the nerf sword should be confined to a small room of three year olds armed with said weaponry. Then maybe they will think twice before releasing something like that into the market. The beach was beautiful and the kids really enjoyed crab hunting and I agreed as Jacob their three year old shouted: "I was having TOO MUCH FUN!"

On Wednesday Phil and I hit the road again headed to Memphis. I had an interview with White Station for a new full time position. I think it went really well, but it will be a few weeks before I hear if anything will progress from the interview. It was great to show Phil a little bit of the city and for him to meet all my WSYG buddies.

I spent Friday running errands and packing for my internship with Jacksonville. I made the drive earlier today and have arrived safely back in the grand state of Florida. So far things are going well and I am exited to get the summer started. Derek, our guy intern, will be here next Saturday and I will move into my host family's house next weekend as well.

I will do my best to keep you updated along the way and as always I'd love to hear from you!

For now, I'm going to get some rest but as always thanks for stopping by!
