I broke my nose and other summer tales

Truly late summer is a time of change. I've witnessed it first hand these past few weeks.

July 20th I played this summer's first game (possibly last) of ultimate frisbee. Determined to win, my face got too close to an equally determined hand, which won and sent me to the ER confirming I fractured my nose. I cried, ate ice cream, and (luckily) my nose turned out to be fine after 3 weeks. Please note: The ER provided me with a complimentary blue, ice filled hospital bootie. (see photo)

July 25-28th I traveled with Joe to meet his dad midway in Helena, MT for camping, excessive amounts of seafood, catching polliwogs, wearing the same skirt for 4 days, swimming, and hand-picked huckleberries.

July 29th Joseph turned 30. While I remained 25 years of age.

August 8th I worked my last day at LARL (Lake Agassiz Regional Library) Unfortunately now I'll have to pay my late fees now!

August 12th I began training for my new position as a member of Minnesota Reading Corps (an Americorps program)
