Three days to NASPA... its a marathon of activity!

Well, my parents have been here this weekend and it was a GREAT visit (they leave tomorrow - Monday - morning early)!!!!!!! They got in around 1am on Friday night/Saturday morning and we spent a really relaxing but fun weekend together.
On Friday, I sat on a panel for the prospective students of the Student Affairs program here at Baylor (my program). My folks sat in and observed the panel, met a few of my colleagues and enjoyed Dr. Pepper floats. We walked back through campus to the apartment and hung out the rest of the afternoon. Once Sarah got home she and I went to vote (early voting in TX); and then we went with my parents to Buzzard Billys - which turned out to be a cajun-style restaurant. It recently moved to this restaurant right on the Brazos river; we sat on the back patio right over the river and really enjoyed our time together. I was thrilled to get to have a dish with crawfish! After dinner, the four of us headed back to the apt. and played a game of Settlers of Catan. Joel and Jessica came by and chatted for a bit, too.
Saturday, we had breakfast and ran a few errands (buying a suitcase, printing resumes, etc), and then relaxed back at the house - i.e. played a game of Settlers! That evening we went to Rudy's for dinner and then to All-University Sing! It was a great night! The acts were really "on" and it was fun to see how they had changed their acts since the week before. ADPi didn't make it to Pigskin Revue, and that was disappointing, but they put on a great show and I was so proud of them all!!!
Sunday, we met up and headed to UBC for church. It was a great surprise to read in the bulletin that Gideon Tsang was going to bring the sermon and that the Crowder Band is back in town. There was more excitement that morning at church, with the return of an old friend, Missy Davis (Baylor SAA master's grad) and another old friend who at this point will remain anonymous at her request. I'll try and post about it soon. But the most important part is that I screamed out loud, because I was so excited to see her - and it brought joy to my heart. After church we went home, at up the leftovers and then headed to Jones theater on the Baylor campus to see "Bye Bye Birdie" with Kathryn. We LOVED it! The cast did a fantastic job and the music was great. Mom, dad and I headed to Health Camp afterward (and most of you know that isn't really healthy), came home and I spent the evening studying stats for our midterm tomorrow.
Its almost time for me to go to bed, so I'll just give a quick rundown of my next week or so and you'll understand if my blogging is sporadic.... (per normal, right?)
