Lazy Summer Days...

After spending the first seven weeks of summer working at a youth camp down in Pennsylvania I returned home for a night before heading to Vermont for a relaxing week on the lake with the family.

I returned home from Vermont just in time for school. Classes started last week and while I'm not in Minnesota this semester I'm taking two online classes as part of the nonprofit leadership certificate program that I'm combining with my masters degree. I'm also searching for an internship with a nonprofit organization. Ideally this should have been done back in July but with the technology regulations at the camp where I was working, and only having contact with the outside world one day a week it was a challenge to set up interviews, complete applications, etc. If anyone has connections with a nonprofit organization looking for an intern this fall, email me ASAP! The only two requirements I have are it must be with a nonprofit and I need to be somewhere that I have decent internet service to complete my classwork - in other words I should probably stay in the U.S.

Yesterday the weather was beautiful and sunny so I decided to take on a DIY home project. The cart on the back porch before, and after.
