Maria isn’t the only one who needs sweet reminders now
and then…
Training camp
was, in a word, INCREDIBLE, and I already miss it. The atmosphere. The spirit. The U squad.
The smells. Going back to everyday life just doesn’t seem to cut it for me. TC has also made me that much MORE excited for the trip ahead. So until
January, I’ll simply just think of those training camp things and then I
won’t feel sooo bad!!
