Been busy Lately

So I'm gonna try and write this as I edit some photos and hopefully I can post some at the end...if i can figure out how to get the pics in the bottom of the posts...

So, I got to see some of the USA Mens National Volleyball team this past weekend. They were having a clinic held at my old high school DVHS. One of my friends I played with is part of the staff there now. Pretty cool stuff. He brought the head coach and the assistant coach as well as a couple players. It was a long weekend but well worth the time. I learned a lot about guys hs volleyball. Hope I can translate some of that stuff to work for girls hs vball.

So yeah, volleyball has taken up my life again. It's making me happy. I get to stay around a sport that I really love. I'm just assisting the team but also helping out quite a bit as an assistant. Just nice I can do my part to helping pass on this sport. Maybe this will be something I can do at a university in the near future? I still gotta get better as a coach.

Work so far, at the zoo, has been fun. I really enjoy enlightening all the people I come across as well as my coworkers. They truly make my days at work worth while. I got to work Monkey Village today and was able to bring my camera for some shots. Was originally going to take shots at the giraffe deck but I didn't get to go :-( so here are some monkey photos instead!
