Weekend Close Out!!!

This past weekend was quite the weekend, I felt like I was constantly moving and never really had time to rest and enjoy the weekend.

On Friday I signed the lease to my new apartment which will be the last place I will live before I am MARRIED!!! Elaine took off early and helped me move some small things into my new place, which I am sharing with two other guys that I have never met before in my entire life. For those of you who don't know me, I haven't had great experiences with living with people I don't know so this is a big step for me. I've lived in the place for 3 days and I've moved furniture approximately 4 times.

I've been participating in a 6 week boot camp at Anytime Fitness that completely exhausts me every time I go. Before school started I was going 8 times a week and burning approximately 1000 calories each work, the work outs are only one hour long. On Saturday they hosted the boot camp challenge, this was an opportunity for us to join a team and compete with other teams on various challenges. I am very proud of my team of four, we won two of the four events one of which consisted of flipping a 190 pound tire approximately 50 yards. GO TEAM!!!!

Following boot camp I had to rush home and get ready for my final choir audition at UofL. I get really nervous for all my auditions and typically it shows really bad in the audition. This audition was just like all the others, so nervous I rush the music and can't remember the words. Needless to say I am happy it's over with.

In order to calm my nerves Elaine treated me to ice cream at Berry Twist, only the greatest ice cream place in Floyd Knobs. While it was really good all I could think about was how long I would have to run in order to work off the deliciousness.... the run still hasn't happened.

I look forward to the third Sunday of August every year... THE SCHMIDT FAMILY REUNION AND VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY!! Each year at the reunion Team Corny and Team Francis battle it out on the court. This year we recruited one of our other cousins which made the team name change to Team CORNVINCE. Vincent was one of my grandpas other brothers. I don't think our team has won EVER but at least we have a really good time. This year team Cornvince decided to intimidate team Francis by sending out my my mom, and a couple of my aunts, I don't think the other team expected them to step out onto the court and actually want to play. We were pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Prior to walking on to the court my aunt looked at us and said, "if it has anything to do with a ball I'm out". That makes you feel really good!! To tell you how committed they were they were talking smack and my mom even dove for a ball.. thats commitment. I have a video that I will post shortly.

I wrapped up the weekend by hosting a cookout at UofL for all of the new freshman music therapy students. I have to thank all of the officers that helped and all of the students that came out and socialized.

WHAT A WEEKEND!!!
