A lot has happened since my last post. I think a photo review is in order to bring us up to date.
The RAs showed up - and my staff is wonderful. We learned a lot, bonded, and made them do crazy games, which was really just an excuse for awesome photo opportunities.
Examples of said photo opportunities:

| Before |

After
*Note before and after does not mean that Corri turned into Brennan. The game played was one team member covered their face in peanut butter, and then the rest of their team threw peanuts at their face. The face with the most peanuts won. Corri was pregame, Brennan was post. |
Move In Day was a success. It was oddly calm - thanks to my awesome crew. Move In Day is also great because I get to see people like Jackie - as you can see in the picture, I was pretty excited about it. Jackie was too, despite her face in this photo.
After Welcome Week I flew home for a super fast, but great weekend with family, friends, and steamed bagel sandwiches.

| Love that bow tie. |
 |
| Sisters, sisters there were never such devoted sisters... (are you singing the song yet?) |
 |
| They're just so cute. |
 |
| Why must the steamed bagel sandwiches be so far away? |
 |
| Sisters photo shoot. We're pretty much models. |
 |
| She's not crazy - I missed the memo about which smile we were supposed to do. |
 |
Friends for life.
|
I also get to spend a lot of time with Cole - he's pretty much the greatest thing ever. Even asleep, wrapped like a mummy he's adorable.
In the last few weeks there was a birthday party for these two...
 |
| In case you couldn't tell, Cody turned 30. |
Then we went to Atlanta...
 |
| My first real college football game. We're such posers, sitting in the student section. |
 |
| An afternoon in the park. |
 |
| The big city can be a nice break from the mountains. |
 |
We also saw Ray Lamontagne and Brandi Carlile, they're wonderful. Look them up if you don't already know them.

Last weekend I went to Chicago with two coworkers for a conference. Before we left The Windy City, we saw a performance of a show at The Second City Theatre. It's an improv theatre where a lot of hilarious people have come from - Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and the always wonderful Tina Fey. I can't find the cast list for the show we saw - but the girl with the long hair and the headband. She's going to be big. So in a few years when you a see a hilarious girl on SNL with long hair and a headband - you heard about it here first.
And now it is time to settle in for October. A whole month of not traveling, but staying put. Pumpkins, changing leaves, sweaters and scarves, homecoming - it's going to be a great month.
