Okay, so since it is Super Bowl Sunday first things first - Yea, Giants! and Yea, Super Bowl for being an exciting game for once. It is really nice to watch the game here in Colorado because it starts at 4:15 and ends by 8pm; you still have an evening. We went over to a church party for half of the game. It was nice to have a projector to put the game on a wall for all to see.
In other news...
*I decided to do the PALS program on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It will give me time to interact with the kids, but not burn me out before I head back to school in August. They have a pretty intense summer program with the kids. So, I am excited that I have the opportunity to spend some time with this program. I see so much need in the children for attention and love. Many of them come from very difficult home lives. I cannot imagine what some of these 5 year olds have been through.
*On Friday and Saturday, I attended a training through Center for Restorative Programs (formally called, VORP). It was very interesting to be trained how to mediate. The Center provides opportunities for victim-offender reconciliation (VORP), parent-teen mediation, and teen-teen mediation. It is very different with each situation. It is not an easy thing to do, but what an amazing opportunity it offers to people to come to the table and work through life issues.
*Jeremy attended environmental seminars on Thursday at Adams State College here in Alamosa. I think he enjoyed hearing more about what issues were out there and what is being done to work on these.
Tomorrow is my big volleyball day! We'll see how the women's team will be. I am looking forward to it, but a bit worried that I won't be fit enough to really play. I'll let you know.
