Now that week zero and week one are finally done, I can slow down a little and breathe. It's been a crazy last couple of weeks, for sure, but it is really great to be back and meeting so many great people. I think the highlight of my last two weeks was definitely seeing Ole the Lion get down with his bad self at the "Party in the Pause" during Week One. That Lion can dance!
It's hard to believe that we are already in full swing into a new year. Yet, that is how things always seem to go around here. At first you are gearing up for something new, the next second you are gearing up for the next something new.
