Quick Update

Hey everyone! I am so excited about this Blog...haha I have never really been a blogger, but since out family has moved past facebook stalking and on to blogging, I thought I should jump on! So here goes...here is a quick synopsis of what I have been up to this summer! I started off the summer with a trip to San Salvador (island in the Bahamas) where I was a TA. I visited this amazing island last year and had a great time this year! On this trip I finally got to scuba dive...so I ended up being about 10 ft. away from a HUGE hammerhead, a couple black tip reef sharks, and some really cool fish! (If I can master this picture loading I'll put some pics up!) After the Bahamas trip I came home and bummed around Nashville for a little before my next trip to Denver!! I havent't had the chance to go out west in a while, so I was really pumped when I learned I was going to get to go to Colorado. I travelled to downtown Denver for a few days for my sorority's National Convention, then visited Dave (another TA from San Salvador :) for the rest of the week. The Convention was really great way for me to connect with a lot of other alumni in my sorority as well as learn a ton!! I explored downtown Denver some and and found som really great areas (16th street was key!). So after that I hung out in a Denver suburb with Dave and his family....went hiking and camping in the foothills north of Denver....and, the most EXCITING part...caught my FIRST fish!...and cooked it! Needless to say, I was sad to say bye to the mountains..So now that you are all caught up to date, my next adventure is starting tomorrow with Dad, me, and Rach travelling to Venice to catch our cruise that is sailing all around the Mediterranean Sea!! I am so excited to get over there!! Not so much about the long flights...but ohh well I'll get over that part!!!


So there is my summer so far :) Hope everyone else is having an amazing time, and I can't wait to see what everyone else has been up to!

  2. Good catch, Maffa. Plenty of fish in the sea. That had two meanings!
