Where should I begin? It has sure been a journey over the past<br />
two months as we experienced putting together our first full issue.<br />
I would like to thank my girls and my husband for supporting<br />
and helping me through these big changes for our family. It has been great to spend<br />
special time with all my girls doing different tasks. I am very proud of them for stepping up<br />
and talking with business owners about the magazine. It is amazing how much they have<br />
grown from this already.<br />
I have to say that the best part about getting out into the community, is to distribute the<br />
magazine and hear so many positive reactions from everyone we meet. People just LOVE<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Bunk</strong> <strong>Room</strong>!! I truly enjoy finding all kinds of unique businesses that I never knew were<br />
there. I am excited for the journey with all the new businesses that have decided to join us!<br />
Enjoy the rest of the summer!<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a buzz in the air,<br />
the sun is shining and it<br />
looks beautiful outside.<br />
<strong>The</strong> moment I step outside<br />
I instantly become<br />
very hot and sticky and<br />
I run back inside to the<br />
cool air. I guess summer<br />
has arived!<br />
I have been very busy<br />
these last couple of weeks<br />
applying to law schools,<br />
working at the Orlando<br />
Predators, carting my<br />
siblings around and working on <strong>The</strong> <strong>Bunk</strong><br />
<strong>Room</strong>.<br />
It’s exciting to share with all of<br />
you my Intern Adverntures with <strong>The</strong> Orlando<br />
Predators. (See page 10.) It’s been<br />
getting a little bit crazier at the Predators<br />
office now because we have started to win<br />
