Yay for June!  I can’t believe how fast this year is already going by, but I am excited for this coming month for a bunch of reasons.

1.  I’m taking next week off of work.  Our PTO runs from July – June and we have to use it all up in the year or else we lose it.  For some reason this year I had a quite a bit left over and had to figure out what to do.  But I’m already going to Alaska in July so a trip up there seemed silly and I didn’t have anyone to travel with somewhere else.  But I do have a bunch of stuff I’ve been either putting off here at home and stuff I’ve just wanted to do but haven’t had time.  So I decided to stick around town and take care of it.  I’ve got a big list of stuff to do and I’ve got to make a plan so that I have at least half a shot at actually following through.  I am really hoping that I get my act together and take advantage of this time rather than just sleeping in and watching tv all week.

2.  My roommate and I are planning to go to Friday Harbor for a day next week.  Its her finals week and she’ll be done with tests pretty early in the week so our time off timing worked out well.  We went last year and it was so beautiful and we had a great relaxing day.

3.  I get to see my friend Danyeal.  But only because I’m mooch and needed a place to stay in the Seattle area and called her out of the blue to see if I could stay at her place.  But luckily she is a very gracious person and immediately said yes.  It’s only for one night and I have to be somewhere pretty early the next day (thus the need to be down there in the first place).  Anyway, I haven’t seen her since November so I’m excited to get to hang out with her even if its just a short time.

4.  Cheer camp is at the end of the month.  I’m looking forward to this for 2 reasons.  First, the girls always learn a ton and even though its tiring and can be overwhelming it is always a good experience on the whole.  And second, once we’re done with camp I’ll have a break for about a month and a half!  I love coaching, but having time away always makes it better when we get back at it.

5.  So You Think You Can Dance is on TV.  Okay, so technically this season started in May, but it’s about to get to my favorite part (basically anything past the auditions).  I grew up dancing and this show makes me wish I was 17 again and dancing all the time and could go and audition myself.  And this time some of my friends are coming over to watch along with me which always makes it more fun.
