Hello!

Greetings blog world!

It was an exciting summer, complete with a CAP summer encampment. There's me on a 40 rappel tower with Nathan Scalia, the encampment Cadet Commander. He was not nearly as scared as I was to be up there. I think I faked it well.









Here I am, by myself, going off the skid. It is somewhat concerning you can't see the rope in this picture, but I assure you it is there. This one was less scary than the wall for some reason.











I have other pictures of me from encampment, but I look mean in them since I was being mean at encampment. If you had to keep control of 115 teenagers, you'd look mean too. It is the only way to survive!

Now that summer is over, I'm still doing CAP stuff at the local level and planning for the next encampment. They put me in charge of that one. At the squadron, we're doing the banquet tomorrow night. Should be a good time!

I'm also teaching at church again - all girls class for Confirmation.

Let's go on to the links!
