What a crazy time!!

I'M SO SORRY for those of you who have been checking in and I have had nothing posted. These days things are a little crazy. School is back in full force and I have been slammed with work. I have new athletes needing physicals that missed their window to have them done before practices start. I have returning athletes that need to fill out more paper work. I have new and returning athletes coming in and checking up with me about old and new injuries. I have graduate assistants that have added to their responsibilities that need guidance. I have my team starting 6 a.m. conditioning 2-3x/week. I am trying to cram as much information about my new athletes into my brain so I know who needs what. I have coaches emailing and calling me every 5 minutes. Our ice machine is broken so we have no ice for practices (really great timing for the hottest week of the year here- above 98 with 94% humidity). I have made appointments with doctors for atleast 8 athletes in the last 12 hours and now I can't remember who goes in when and at what time. My desk looks like a paper bomb blew up on it. I have new student athletic trainers that I have to "break-in" and I had a lab to teach today that I almost forgot about and only half of my class actually showed up!! To top it all off...I havent spoken to Ryan for more than 2 minutes in the past week. Why? He's just as busy as me and when we do have time to actually call each other...we're too freakin' tired!! Wooo! Got that out of my system.


It's just that time of year. The first two weeks of school are usually the craziest. Getting everyone and everything started on the same page. It can get pretty stressful. But, like everything it begins to subside and ease up a little.


Things are changing here for me. The big news is that Ryan and I are moving in together. Yep. I'm taking a chance and living with a boy for the first time since I was 18...and that boy was my brother. We found a house in a suburb of Indianapolis called Fishers. It's a really nice area and has a lot of people moving into it. It is a little bigger than what we were looking for but the rent was in our range and the location is right inbetween my work and his. The house is four bedroom and 2.5 bath. I know. I know. Its big, but thats okay. We're only renting for now and if we play our cards right we have the option to buy further down the road. Plus, we've all ready decided what each room should be. Master bedroom, guest bedroom, office, and..."a man room."

What is in this so called "man room" I have no idea. Infact most of our rooms will probably only have one piece of furniture in it besides the living room and our bedroom. Ryan has a vision though of this den of testosterone. He wants to be able to play poker with his buddies, play his x-box and watch sports at any time with his recliner and a microfridge filled with beer. I have a feeling he wants to be able to accomplish all of this while in his underwear, grunting, and eating raw meat. He also made the fatal mistake of saying the following:
"Yeah, I can invite the guys over to play cards and we can drink beer and smoke cigars." WHOAH THERE KILLER!!! I put the kabosh on the cigar smoking inside the house. Absolutely not. He tried to put up a good argument but he failed.
"But...we'll open a window!"
"No."
"And put a fan in there to push the smoke out!?"
"No."
"We'll stuff towels under the door so none of the smoke comes into the rest of the house!"
"No."
"Come on babe!!!"
"No."

We move in on Sept. 15th...well, Ryan does and I will slowly move my stuff down as my lease winds down in another month. I'll definitely take a bunch of pictures and post them when I can.
It won't be all settled in until probably late fall/spring because of our crazy schedules right now, but it'll get there.

I definitely feel like I'm growing up now!
