Finally....

Yes, it's true I have finally got a blog up and running.... I am hoping to keep everyone updated whenever possible through this and will try to post and check it frequently so feel free to comment :)  

I guess I will give you a quick update on things now, since this is the first post bullet points are necessary!  Here's what you missed last year:

• lived in good old Seal Beach, same complex as last year, new roommates though
• coached South Bay United Water Polo Club and LOVING it!  (very much fell in love with the team and community up there and can't wait to get back)
• worked as a teachers aide at Naples Elementary and got the opportunity to work in three fantastic classrooms.... learned SO much!
• took pre-requisite classes at CSULB for the multiple subject teaching credential
• started doing crossfit (which is AMAZING) and tried my best to stay in shape for this summer
• finally started to feel settled and at home in Southern Cali.... ahhhhh yes

This summer things have started off on a good foot.... I made the World League team that will play in Russia this month (actually we leave in 4 days!)  I have stopped working and school for the summer in order to focus on polo and to be honest there is NO WAY I could do more than train (just too much time and energy required).  The new team and coaching staff are figuring out how to work together best and doing it as quickly as possible since this summer is going to fly by.... we have already played Canada three times here in Cali (won two lost one), we leave for Russia end of the week, then we head off for World Championships in Rome on June 30 (just after getting a chance to celebrate the b-day) which surprise surprise is our focus this year.
