I don’t think I’ll ever go to church in the morning again. For the past few years, Lisa and I have attended one of the two evening services at our church, which has left us with these wide-opened Sunday mornings. We sleep late…we drink coffee…we read…we relax…we exercise… Sunday is the day when we make [...]

This could be the best article I’ve seen in print. Rated PG-13 for strong language.
Let the vacation planning begin! I’ll send you a postcard…

Lisa and I are wrapping up a long weekend in Salt Lake City…a trip we decided to take for a few reasons. First, our anniversary just so happens to fall on the same week as the Sundance Film Festival in Park City. What better way to celebrate two years? Second, we love reminding ourselves of [...]
Two years (and a few days)

To my darling,
I intended to write this very public profession of my love for you on my brand new blog this past Monday (seeing as it was our 2nd anniversary) but, as you very well know, most of my waking hours these past few weeks have been spent with varying combinations of our 334 nineteen-year-old [...]

As I was sitting at my desk yesterday, trying to catch up on an endless string of e-mails, one of my colleagues in Residence Life sent this little gem along to our staff from one of her students. It was just too silly to keep to myself. The names have been changed to protect the [...]
Now that the weekend is history…

The only enjoyable thing I can remember from taking a history course in school was in my 11th grade US History class when my teacher, Mr. Eskew, accidentally said “norts” instead of “notes.” Like, “alright class, let’s take some norts!” We all had a good laugh about that one. I mean, NORTS! That is funny [...]
“How was your break?”

Here in the collegiate world, there are certain guidelines…a framework, if you will…for shallow conversation. With each passing season comes specific questions…questions we ask one another with surprising ease and regularity, considering the answer is usually not of much interest to us.
At the beginning of the school year: “How was your summer!?”
Late October: “Ready for mid-terms?”
Early [...]

Let’s be honest. The first 12 minutes of 2008 were rough.
First of all, the world realized we only have one more year to enjoy the always-classy millennial New Year’s glasses. What will we do when the clock strikes 2010? Dangle a “1″ from our noses?
More tragic, however, was the annual fireworks display at the Seattle Space [...]
