Let’s review:

On the first Saturday, April 17th, my robotics team, Team 341 Miss Daisy, was bestowed the honor of the Championship Chairman’s Award. This award is a mark of distinction among all FIRST competitors that our team is now one of the best team’s in the organization. We are now a role model for other teams to emulate and have the great honor and opportunity to help even more teams than we already have. It has to be up there in the top 10 moments of my life since I’ve been working towards that moment for 11 years.

As if that weren’t enough, on Saturday April 24th, my amazing boyfriend of three years proposed to me on our 3-year anniversary getaway to Watkins Glen, NY. It was so magical and special and I can’t think of a more amazing fiance. I’m a little bit apprehensive about this whole planning a wedding thing but am so excited at the same time!

What? That’s not enough for you? Stay tuned!

I know of at least a few important people that did me the favor of tuning in and that makes me happy! Thanks so much to those of you who did. It was cool to have our time in the spotlight and even to get a little bit more press!

You won’t see too much of me in the documentary but you’re welcome to look. The head coach of my team, Mr. Ostrow, will be there though as well as glimpses into the lives of other FIRST teams. Its a great representation of what I do every year and I would sincerely appreciate you watching to see what a huge part of my life is filled up with!

For those of you not in the Philadelphia area, you too can sit back and learn about robotics at these times locally: http://www.gearingupproject.org/where-to-watch/.
