Alumni Softball Game

February 2013

I was sad that I couldn't join in the fun at the softball game with the other Biola alumni, nor could I tell anyone why I couldn't play (that whole pregnancy thing) since it was still a secret. I did have a great time catching up with everyone and meeting Krista's twins! It is always a good time to watch a fun softball game.

End of an Era

As January ended so did our rivalry with APU. 

Paul and I were there to witness the last BU vs. APU basketball games. 

Merry Christmas from DBC

Biola Family Christmas hosted by DBC

"Buddy the Elf...

...whats your favorite color?"

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.... it's just like talking, except longer and louder, and you move your voice up and down."

"We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup."

Regismas

Friday was our Christmas lunch for the office. 

We enjoyed some good Italian food.

Rocked a gift card exchange. 

(where you can 'steal' a card twice and then it can't exchange hands again)

There is always time for a quick group photo.

Office Antics

If you are on vacation there is a distinct possibility that something may happen to your cube. 

Tonights gunna be a good night....

As I am home these days I am taking the opportunity to go through all of the boxes, and files we didn't take care of when we moved. Today I came across this...

Must have been a really super day, although I do not remember ever having a green car.

Catch-Up: Its gunna be a long one

When we last spoke I was exhausted, I am still recovering.

So Paul and I (during opposite shifts) helped Jeric move. There was much heavy lifting, moving boxes and some good time spent hanging out and talking while moving boxes and heavy lifting. I have quite a few bruises to show for it, at last count 7 (guess I should start taking iron pills again).

While Paul was doing the moving and lifting thing with Jeric I was at the alumni softball game. SO much fun! I love getting together and seeing the old crew (hi Jen!) Every year I realize how much I miss playing on a regular basis... anyone know of a team I can join?

Sunday was Mommys birthday so I headed down to SD. I showed up at her house with her starbucks drink and some flowers. We ran some errands and grabbed a sandwich for lunch. Then I headed to Tiffany's baby shower. It was nice to catch up with KJ, Annie, Rori, Nicole and Erin while celebrating Tiffany becoming a mommy for the second time.

After the shower Mom and I decided to take a drive up to one of the local Indian Casinos since we had two free dinners at the buffet. We had a nice dinner and a good time playing some slots. We also got to hear a concert by the Wallflowers. Then we headed home and to bed as I started not feeling so good.

Monday we went out for breakfast to the Original Pancake House. Ran some more errands, did some laundry. Went to see Fool's Gold

Then we had to take Meeko to the vet for her yearly shots and check-up. She did not enjoy getting shots at all and auctually hissed really hissed at the vet. I felt so bad for my little kitty. We were told she is getting a little chunky, so I suppose we need to get a new laser pointer so she gets a bit more exercise. Afterwards we grabbed dinner and then I had to head home to get ready for the up coming week.

One day last week I started my day at 7am teaching my students and then at 2 pm I had the pleasure of taking 60 of our 8th graders to BU for a guided tour of the campus, a photo scavenger hunt, dinner in the cafe and watch the basketball game. I had a good time hanging out with the students even though our day didnt end till around 10pm.

Exhausted

Even taking a shower right now sounds like to much effort. But I feel so gross I must find the energy to do it. My day started at 9 am where I went to the Alumni Softball game (photos to come later) Once the game portion was through I hoofed it over to meet Ric at Jerics new apartment. I made it there just a couple minutes before Ric showed up with the truck. Then from 2-7pm we moved stuff. I think I have found the strength to drag myself to the shower and then into bed. Tomorrow involves driving to SD for my mommy's birthday and a baby shower. A better more energized update will come later. See you on the other side.

Biola's Dodger Day

On Sunday the 16th Paul and I headed out to the Dodger game with Jeric. It was so HOT! (I am still peeling from the sunburn) We sat in the all you can eat section with hundreds of other Biola students, staff, and alumni. Highlights: the new president threw out the first pitch to his son, there was a crazy man who jumped onto the field in a straight jacket and got pretty far around the field before being tackled to the ground(the thirdbasemen thought it was pretty funny), and hanging out with Jeric is always a good time.

It's weird turning on KROQ and hearing someone you know and have spent time with...
