Plus I just really really like being involved.
So, when I saw the opportunity I applied right away! Ft. Benning has a youth cheer league and they were accepting applications for volunteer coaches for this Fall. The ladies at CYS-Sports and Youth Fitness have been so nice and lucky for me I'm going to be coaching come August! I've always loved cheering and it was such a fun and uplifting part of my younger years. Hopefully I can share just a little bit of that joy this Fall! The girls are ages 6-10 and I've already started running through my memory and writing down motions and cheers I remember. I also wanted to make a bow for each of the girls that they can wear to the games so I headed to the internet to look for a tutorial on cheer bows. Youtube did not disappoint, and within a couple of hours I had whipped up a couple of practice bows. Unfortunately my creative energy tends to take up a large amount of space. Exhibit A:
My husband is always pretty tolerant, even though I think he secretly wishes I had my own craft cave to create all that mess in (don't worry dear, I do too!!). Lucky for him he's far away so he doesn't have to look at it. It may or may not still be sitting in that same spot two days later.
This is the first bow I finished and I think it turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! I gave it to a friend of mine in town who is not afraid to proudly wear big pink bows in her hair. :)
Everything else has been pretty uneventful. I went and saw Magic Mike with some friends last weekend and it was a fun girls night out. I still need to inventory our household goods but just really don't know where to begin so I'm procrastinating. I miss my husband. Same old thing.
We did get news that Jase should get a 3 or 4 day pass after this cycle is over so I am keeping my fingers crossed! Till next time :)
