Friends,
So sorry it has been so long. It is time to start fresh now that I have my computer back and working.

This summer has been absolutely great. I have spent my summer working in the Housing Office at Calvin matching roommates, placing students into the dorms, helping with RA training, printed over 2500+ ID cards and bus passes, and other various odd jobs as needed. I am so glad to still be involved with Residence Life. After 3 years of living in the dorms, being and Activities Coordinator sophomore year, and then an RA junior year, had I not been involved at all I would have been having major with drawls from it all. Today was move-in day on campus for the Freshman. It is days like today that bring me back to Freshman year. At times it seems like just yesterday my roommate Kendra and I were moving into 358 Veenstra, however that was 3 years ago. Although a lot has changed, so much remains that same too. After working in housing I have a new appreciation for Kendra as we could have been matched with anyone! It is hard to believe that Senior year is about to start. AHH!!!! Lord willing at this time next year I will be starting a new teaching job somewhere in the world. I can't wait to see what crazy adventures await this year.

Today's picture was not taken today, but its a flashback to Freshman year. On this particular day that the picture was taken Kendra found $10 on the path as we were walking.
