scratch that

Sarah probably is not coming this weekend unless a miracle happens....this sucks.

Hit the ground running

1 class done....another this afternoon....supposed to be 1 more tonight but I'm not attending. Volleyball is hosting a tourney this weekend so I've got super busy days today, tomorrow, and Saturday. Sarah hopefully gets here on Saturday night. She needs too b/c I will definitely need some hang out time after this weekend is over. It's been too long since we've seen each other.

I gotta clean the house tonight so she doesn't think I'm a slob and since there isn't much other time during the weekend.

Life is good.

Meat and Potatoes

Two-a-days are all but over for volleyball. No practice tomorrow and 1 on Sunday so I guess technically they are done. We had the Black & Gold game tonight which went over without a hitch. I'm excited to get into the season and start traveling to places I've never been before.

Class starts Monday. Not sure I'm as ready for that. I have no clue where classes are and really dont want to get back into homework. I honestly feel almost like a freshman again not knowing how this school operates and where to find the information I need.

I'm getting excited for Sarah to get here. She is supposed to be 1 week away from getting here. Hopefully the car trouble she just got won't keep her there longer than needed.

This and that

First day of volleyball starts tomorrow. I finally get some use to all the work I've been doing the last couple of weeks.

Wedding plans are coming together. The date and location is set. Now we are just getting our wedding party finalized. Things are coming together quickly.

School starts in a couple of weeks. I'm semi-excited for what grad school will be like and partially not ready for class again.

Fall shows are starting back up which should add some flavor to my schedule.

Only 3 weeks til Sarah gets here. It seems like it's been forever.

Trade Deadline, Staff Outings, and Mizzou Mustache Madness

So the trade deadline came and went yesterday with a flurry of activity. I feel like it was much more than I remember happening in years past. Some seriously big names changed hands yesterday and in the days prior. While the Cardinals didn't make any deals yesterday, they had already made several deals that have been paying off at amazing rates. Holliday, DeRosa, Lugo, and getting rid of Chris Duncan have helped the offense get some life.

I got to see Matt Holliday hit his first home run as a Cardinal the other night. Too bad the boys lost in 10 innings. Still a great time for my first game of the year of what I hope is many more.

So in the last couple days, the Mizzou Sports Medicine staff has had several staff outings. We went golfing (which I was terrible at...it had been so long) and dinner at Houlihan's on Wednesday. Thursday we went to Lake of the Ozarks and went canoeing (I kayaked) for 6 miles down the river. Such a fun day with soooo many funny stories. Yesterday we had an outing at the head athletic trainer's house. It was a good time.

Orientation starts today and runs for the next couple days and is followed by the start of two-a-days. It will be seriously busy. With the start of preseason comes Mizzou Mustache Madness. Every male on staff is growing out their mustache (no beard) until August 24th. This should be fairly gross and semi-creepsterish. We'll see how it goes.
