Hostin' parties

Now that we have a house of our own - and a big house too! (it's 8 bedrooms, and there's only 6 of us) - we've been throwing HEAPS of parties. Here's a picture from a Saturday morning brunch we threw, which included lots of MBAers, including those with kids

(yeah, we had kids running around and dribbling everywhere. Can't they make those bibs more effective? Now there's a business opportunity)

I'm really enjoying being able to host parties and be hospitable. It's a real blessing! :)

Halloweenies

Halloween is kind of a big deal here in the US. One the first years had this great idea to invite the children of some of the MBAs who are parents to go trick-or-treating around the campus housing! Great idea.

Here are two of them, one dressed as a chicken, and the other as ... um, I'm not sure?!

Broomball: like ice hockey, but involving less skill

I've been on the leadership team of the Business School Christian Fellowship and it's been a blast! The teaching has also been of high quality (I say that complete objectively ...kind of)

One of the great events was "Broomball" - played on an ice hockey rink, but with normal sportshows, a little ball, and these broom-type things.

It was AWESOME! But my backsidehurts ...(ok too much info I know)

Another weekend, another camp ...

Being in 2nd year means that many weekends are spent, well, away. So far, I've been away most weekends - camping, checking out a new city ... or in this case, going to the Stanford IV Grad Christian Fellowship.

This picture is actually misleading ... I mostly sat around and talked to people, there really wasn't much outdoor stuff. But hey, I'll let the picture do the talking :)
