For the summer, so far, I've been to both Dallas and Austin to visit my parents. This July 4th, I'll be eating fantastic Mexican food and setting off fireworks.

For the past month my teammates and I have been working out hard core doing speed and agility, lifting, and running but for the Fourth of July week we finally get a breather. This will give me more time to focus on ceramics and put together an art portfolio.
