Wouldn't you know it? I'm finally slowed down at work, all the bosses are out, and the site is SLOW today! LOL
Wow, the summer is just flying by for me. I can't believe it's almost July already! I've been busy every weekend in June, and July isn't much better. I think I have 1 weekend where nothing is planned....yet. Then I'm on vacation the first week in August and then it's back to the grind and almost fall! I can't believe how fast it's going.
I got a huge compliment this weekend. I used to shoot competitively, but a real job and real bills got in the way of doing that. I was pretty good - I was the first woman in Colorado to make Master Classification (meaning 94% of the shots were in the 10 or X ring, which is harder than it sounds. We shoot out to 600 yards with open sights), the first woman in Colorado to make Distinguished Rifleman (41st woman ever to acheive that), and I coached teams as well. I've been out of the game for 4 years now, but got back in as Administrative Support for the team this year. Well, I was out at a Team Practice this weekend, and they sprang it on me that they want me to COACH the adult NATIONAL TEAM! Now, my father is the top coach, honestly one of the best in the country, so he will be coaching the top Junior teams. He said they still have all kinds of confidence in my coaching ability, even though I haven't read the wind in 4 years. I'm still a bit in shock. I will probably end up coaching at least one team match (there are 4 days of different team matches at the Nationals), and Captain 2 others. I'm still deciding if I should do it for the National Trophy Team Match like they want. I sure wish I had the confidence in myself that they do!
