Wisconsin Science

Brenna seems to be doing just great, as we knew she would!  I think she's finding it a little challenging or just different as she makes the transition from carefree college kid to grown up in charge of stuff!  :o)  We manage to talk, text and FaceTime pretty regularly, but most of my updates I get from Snapchat.  I think she's doing well, she's been invited to a couple Happy Hours and a coworkers BBQ.  She's busy netting bats, measuring and recording, tracking, tagging with radio transmitters and then following them with acoustic detectors.  She's Bat Girl, Science Chick and just an amazing girl!

I guess it's not all fun and games.  There's no doubt she's a trooper, a badass trooper!  I just wish she was a little closer, so she could come home and her mommy could take care of her!

It doesn't get any easier

So, my girl headed back to Radford.  It just doesn't seem to get any easier.  She's turned into such an amazing young woman, that I hate to see her go.  I feel like my friend is leaving and now who am I going to hang out with.  I don't even want to think about her going to Wisconsin in May.  At least when she's at Radford she can come home on the weekends or we can pop down to see her.  Not going to think about that right now.  As soon as she got back, she jumped right back into caving and bats.

This is what Brenna gets to look at while she's at "work"

Sometimes she just amazes me!
