Substance?

i've had a lot of time to blog, but i just haven't. i feel like there isn't a lot of substance to anything i would write at the moment. maybe that's a product of my brain deteriorating from being out of school for far too long...or maybe it's just a sign that i've finally had a couple weeks of pure enjoyment where i've just been happily occupied with other going-ons.

emily came to visit for a few days. we enjoyed all the benefits of ventura - beach, good food, the fair (dierks bentley!!)

nikko came home and i finally got to see him, if only for a day. thoughts and prayers are with him as he enters his second year at the naval academy.

shopping trips like crazy to get clothes and other necessities - yes, new school clothes are always a necessity.

the end of LA84 swim team - technically i still have a week left, but thats only with 15 of the 50 kids that I worked with every day this summer. it was bittersweet...those kids have pretty much been my life all summer, and its weird to think that this is probably the last time i will hold this coaching position...

and most importantly of course...I GO BACK TO CAL LU A WEEK FROM TOMORROW! :)

see, nothing of any depth. but sometimes, its ok to be that way i suppose. maybe once classes start it will give me something a little more intellectual to say.
