Free Food
Today I get two free meals. I have a lunch/afternoon training. I think I have mentioned before how many Albion College lunch meetings don't include lunch, but this one does! So that is great.

Then tonight I get to have dinner at the Delts. They are the sponsor for the program I set up for tonight. I have Dave Westol coming to do a presentation called "Hazing on Trial". It will be a great program, and I am sure they will have a great meal at their house. Last time they had me over it was seafood night... my favorite!

This weekend it will be a lot of free food as well. I have Sigma Chi national officers coming to do their chapter reorganization. Lots of work this week preparing for that. I got most of my reports for them completed. Now I have work for the Board of Trustees meeting I have to get done before I leave for MGCA next week... that reminds me... I need to get those presentations done as well.

Miles and Randomness
Travel time has begun and this weekend was a big kick off for it. Round trip to Chicago, followed by a trip to Grand Rapids for the GVSU Greek Leadership Conference. Mixed with fun new times with Novali, and some catch up time with the Betas at GVSU.

Did a lot of random things this weekend. On Friday Tamara and I took Novali for some pictures... it was fun. Tamara picked out a great new outfit for her and we went to the Old Orchard mall for some pictures at the Picture People, who do awesome work! Also on my trip I took Novali a fun little doctor kit, and she knew just what to do with it. she was checking everyones heart and ears the entire time I was there. Good times.

She was sleeping with the stuffed Blue Dog my abuelita made for me, that I handed down to Novali.

The future Dr. Centellas.

Walking at the mall with her mom... look how tall she is getting.

She had to have her picture taken in front of the unicorn.

I will post some of the pictures we had taken this weekend later on. They were few cute, a Valentines Day, and one for her birthday coming up.. holding the Number 4!

Then it was off to GVSU. The conference was not too great... but I got great reviews on my workshops! I did a recruitment one with Amy Rosen from GVSU and it went well. I had never done it before, and never worked with Amy before... it went well despite the amount of prep time that went into it. I now have ideas on how to fine tune that presentation. Just liked I had guessed... the girls asked... How do you apply this to Panhellenic Formal Recruitment?... I knew that question would show up... but the questions that pissed me off, was the non-Greeks there who wanted to know how it could apply to them. Some people just don't get the simplest things. The diversity presentation I did with Ken from GV, and it went well also. Even better reviews on that, but I have done that one before and is something I present on a lot. Thanks Ken and Amy for working with me.

All the Betas dressed up for GLC 2005.

Little Super Bowl Party at Max's.


Saturday night was a date auction by Delta Sigma Theta at GV, two Betas were in it and were some of the highest money makers. Representing for SLB! Then I spent the night at Ramon and Hermen's and we had a good time and a little get together at the house. Sunday... got up... lounged around, relaxed, had some Chinese Buffet at China One and chilled with the Bros and heard about Heathers crazy Russian wedding...

Sunday ended with some SuperBowl action with the Betas... now Monday back to the grind.
