Last Weekend of Peace

I mentioned in the last post that I was heading down to Colorado Springs for the Craft Lager Fest this weekend. I can't imagine a better last weekend before getting cranking in the classroom than this one. My parents stopped through Denver on their way back home to Chicago, so I spent the night with them at dinner and then hung out with my dad on the porch.

I wasn't able to spend really any time in Chicago this summer, so it was really nice that Chicago came to me. It was probably for the best that I took it easy Friday night, because Saturday was a big day. I woke up and hit the road with Matt, and about an hour later and a beautiful drive and we were at our friends place in the Springs as they say. The Craft Lager fest was great, and I was able to try probably more beers than I should have.

It's pretty disappointing that a lot of my good friends are down in the Springs, but it was great to hang out with those guys all day and night. Sunday was another great day. I woke up early and drove back to Denver, and decided it was time to finally get in the volleyball game. We played for almost three hours I think, and by the end I started playing like my high school days...mediocre. We went to the TFA bbq afterwards and I was able to hopefully get myself into a soccer league for the fall!

After a run through Cheesman Park I am now just hanging at my apartment watching Remember the Titans and getting ready for a big week of school. I have two days to get my classroom ready before the crazy kids come on Wednesday and Thursday...Ready or not here they come
