End of the Year Reflection

So a year of travelling is done, here is the final tally

• Trips to the ER= 0
• Serious season ending injuries i.e fractures, ligament tears, decapitation etc = 0
• States Visited= 6
• States driven through= do confusion and insanity count??
• Times we got lost= only a handful
• Gallons of coffee and diet coke consumed = 3 per day
• Ratio of time spent laughing so hard I cried vs time spent contemplating if anyone would miss a van full of college kids if it "mysteriously" drove into a lake = 1,000,000/1

MVPs of the year

• GPS- Greatest. Christmas. Present. Ever
• iPod Cord- 2nd greatest present ever. High Five Mom and Dad
• Coffee
• Diet Coke
• Sluggles (Thanks Brynne!!)
• Hotel Beds- Hey when you sleep on a broken futon, any real bed is a bonus
• Dill Pickle Sunflower Seeds
• The girls for always finding a way to make me laugh so hard I almost pee

Things I will not miss

• Vans that smell like vomit
• 1 hour of sleep before work starts monday
• Narrowly avoiding getting hit in the face with a foul ball every 3 seconds
• Schlepping my giant 75lb kit through mud, grass, gravel and hotels

Things I will miss

• The team
• The coaches
• The parents
• The looks on peoples faces when I hop out of the drivers seat of the giant van
• The snacks, mmmmmm
• Laughing
• Everything

Thanks for a great year. Hope reading about it was even just a little bit as fun as it was to experience it.
