Greetings, my lovelies! It's so nice to be back again! First, I'd like to apologize for taking off so suddenly without a word to even my teams. I had to return home in order to assist my father in transitioning from this plane into the next. It was a very difficult time and, I will admit, I wasn't giving much thought to this place while I was away. I am glad, however, to have had the opportunity to spend the last several months of his life with him and ensure that he was as comfortable as possible in moving on. And now that that is done, I am ready to move forward with my life. I would just like to thank the FCU administration for being so understanding throughout all of this.

So, soccer ladies... I want to thank you for finishing out the season so strong. I am sure you are all enjoying a break from all of that right now, but I am definitely looking forward to rocking it out again next season.

Track ladies... I've had a chance to review what's been going on so far this season, and I want to thank you all for your hard work. I'm grateful to the other members of the coaching staff for stepping up to help you all out while I've been away and am looking forward to getting involves with you as soon as possible, thought I will be taking on more of an observatory role for the next little while.

Since fairly soon you're all going to be seeing me waddling around campus looking like I might have swallowed one of those soccer balls, so I'm just going to put this out there before that happens; Yes, I'm pregnant. I'm around 30 weeks along and due towards the latter part of July so.. Don't expect me to be terribly active even in my fitness classes. I appreciate your understanding when it comes to that in advance.

This brings me to my next point of interest for any Omegas who may be reading. I am looking for one or two of you who wouldn't mind being claimed who could help me out with things around the apartment, like cooking and cleaning and such, and would possibly be available for assisting during some of my classes or with some of my coaching duties, and maybe wouldn't feel terribly imposed upon if I were to ask you to go pick up some random item I'm craving from the store or maybe even rub my back or feet. If this sounds like anything that would be of interest to any of you, feel free to comment here or you can just email me if you'd like a dfairfax@fcu.edu. I could really use a bit of help now and possibly even after the baby is born.

So I do believe I have rambled enough for now. If you've made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it. Again, I am very glad to be back. These last few months have been very trying and I'm just glad to have something a bit more positive, like this place, to focus on.
