It's been way too long, friend!

It has been a while since my last post.  It has been a pretty busy summer!
I've been working at my dad's pharmacy this summer and I have actually enjoyed the experience.  Granted, my dad can be difficult to work for... but this seems true for most kids working for their parents.  They hold you to higher standards than the other employees, but I guess it is only to make you better at what you do.  Anyway, I feel like I've learned more about his business and more about retail pharmacy in general.  I've gotten to do a lot of counseling and it has been nice seeing his patients that remember me from when he opened the store 11 years ago.
Other than working, I've been taking a class the PCCA Institute in Houston, TX.  It is an advanced compounding course that I took online and then went to the lab portion for 2 days last week.  I got to see their amazing training facility and make several dosage forms that I had no previous experience with.
After the lab, I flew to Florida to meet Eddie and my mom in Destin for my friend's wedding.  She had a beautiful wedding on the beach.
We've had a pretty exciting summer, lots of traveling, or driving anyway.
In addition to this, Eddie and I have been working on getting organized for Youth Group and the Confirmation class that we are teaching this year.  We have some exciting events planned for our amazing group of teenagers!  God willing, it will all work out and we will be able to recruit even more Catholic kids to strengthen their faith.
Oh!  Almost forgot!  Eddie took a group of our Youth members to Springfield, MO to Steubenville!  It was an amazing experience and the kids that went came back renewed with the Holy Spirit.  The conference has a way of making an impact on the teenagers who attend.  We're so excited about the 2012 Steubinville!  We already have it on our calendar and hope that we can take 50 kids with us!
