Flash Back Friday - Summer in the City

So with July 4th coming up I have been thinking about how summers use to be. Before moving up to Utah I had the greatest job ever. I worked for the City of Mesa as a lifeguard and swim coach. This was my everyday view:

I worked for the City for 7 years! I loved it. I was tan, blonde, in shape, had great friends, and so much more. I worked at several different pools but I worked at Rhodes Jr. High the most. I worked there my first year and then they closed for remodel and then my last two years I worked at Rhodes as well. 
But my first year was great. Rhodes was a small pool, but still it was pretty popular. I remember working the 4th of July (which I did I think every year) and once we closed it was a party. We had a night swim where we had pool floats and such and just played and ate something (I can't remember that much). We stayed in the pool and watched the fireworks that were being set off at the community college down the street. 

I think working for the City for so long has actually shaped me a little into the person I am. I have friends that I made through the City and will always be their friend.
I have gained skills that I will never forget because they were drilled into my head which I am very thankful for. 
I miss working at the pools, I still have dreams of preforming rescues and I still flinch when I hear the sound of a whistle. 

For all my friends still working for the City I hope you're still having fun!

Well thats it for this post!
