While we drove all the way up to Washington primarily for concerts, we did manage to do some other stuff too. In between the second and third shows, we took a side trip to Idaho. Because…when the heck else would we ever be in Idaho? Granted, we didn’t get very far inside the border, but […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.So, the big trees happened. About 13 hours of travelling happened. Onto day 2. We spent the first night in Albany, Oregon I believe, which is a bit south of Portland. We hung a right at Portland and found ourselves in the Columbia River Gorge. Which is full of those “wow, this is really gorgeous” […]
Continue Reading... 3 Comments.This story actually starts in April of this year, when Dave Matthews Band released their tour dates for this summer and fall. As many of you know, I’m a pretty devoted (read: crazy) fan, and go to at least one show a year. Since we’ve moved out here, Dan and I have seen them play […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.Well, it’s already the second weekend of November, and I haven’t told you all thank you so much for my birthday wishes yet, which is not cool of me. So, THANK YOU! I feel very loved and appreciated. Thanks for the cards, Facebook notes, phone calls, flowers, emails, etc. You are all awesome. A lot […]

But I realize nobody will know what I’m up to day-to-day unless I actually talk about it. I’ve been working with a nice marketing agency as their senior account executive. Your guess is as good as mine as to […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.So, when students ask for my advice (and sometimes when they don’t) about what they should do while they’re in college, I step onto my soapbox and tell them that they should take advantage of the performances, exhibits, lectures etc. that come to college campuses. Because in real life, these things do not pop up […]
Continue Reading... 2 Comments.Um, so Dave Matthews just announced their summer tour (by “just” I mean last week, I just found out about it tonight) and they’re coming to my CAMPUS for not one, not two, but THREE nights in September. Um, osjkdnfp[onojs#@#9! Excitement abound. Of course, however, one of those nights is on Jean’s wedding. So clearly, […]
Continue Reading... 1 Comment.Last week we celebrated for no good reason at all and had a relaxing date night. We had a simply outrageous meal at Nopa, which will be covered in a minute by minute account of our every delicious bite on our foodie blog. But for this non-foodie blog, I’ll just say it was simple food […]

Each of my RAs (I supervise 12 of them) have to do various programs throughout the semester – one that builds community (primarily social), one that is educational/academic, and one that either relates to service or leadership.
