What?
The weather has been crazy, my schedule all frazzled, and my students are all moving off campus as I write. I am enjoying wrapping up my first year here at Albion College, saying goodbye to some of my seniors, and see you next year to the lower classmen. It has been a great year and I am very excited about this summer, my vacation time, and planning for 2005-2006!

So what has been going on? Why have my blogs been so sparse and far between? What happened to all my pictures I used to ppost? I been busy. No excuses just results, I know, I know. So here is what has been happening in my neck of the woods...

Novali, well my last trip out there was a riot. She is developing little sayings and doing the funniest things. The new funny feature is that she is now Trilingual. Yes... when I was there she got mad and start making these funny sounds... I asked what she was doing, and she quickly replied, "espeakin' Chinese". I was luaghing like crazy which made her more mad and she did it even more... Ching Chang Chow... TOO FUNNY!

She loves her little soccer net, she made me yell GOOOAAL.

She would walk around the house looking through her binoculars.

When spent a lot of time on puzzles, building her spacial intelligence.

Of course the tub shot, building my future blackmail material.

Work, lets see... I am the proud new owner of the 14th Edition of the National Panhellenic Conference Manual of Information. Only a Greek Advisor can get excited over that... but the real exciting part is that the Green Book (what the book is called) is now also available on CD ROM! The students moved away, and my fraternities are in the process of closing their houses. I went and saw Sigma Chi last night closing their house, and the amount of crap was unreal! Next year I will help them sooner with planning how they will move.

So for those Panhel Ladies who had pages memorized... they are all new now!

So my car... new rims... new MAF... but that light went back on! Oh no...

Last weekend was graduation time at GVSU. I went to see the CSAL gang graduate and hangout. Hermen and I had some time to chat and hangout over some fun pink drinks with Dre and Heather on Friday. Saturday was graduation and Hermen and I hangout at BDubs saving tables for everyone. It was fun times with some of the CMU gang that arrived and families and of course the CSAL reception (I pretty much missed mine, so this made up for it). Then we had a great night downtown, saw a bunch of different places and just had a good time.

Some photo ops on GVs campus.

In the VIP Lounge at 48 West.

So that is what has been happening. Some fun outings, fun work, and fun with the little one. This coming weekend is a trip to Philly with my friend Jen from work. Her sister lives north of Philly and my Brother lives south. So we figured we would make the roadtrip together. My mom will be out there as well, she loves visiting that area so it will be a fun Mother's Day out there with her and my Brother. Then when I get back, no students and just time to get work done! I am very excited. Got some more May and June trips planned (Traverse City, Bloomington, IN, Indianapolis, San Francisco, and maybe Orlando) and then just relaxing!

Take care everyone! Have a good Cinco de Mayo (no big party this year...) and go outside and enjoy the nice weather!
