This past week started off bittersweet, but actually went on to be a lot of fun, and a great week of catching up, recharging, and getting inspired to continue with this amazing, but challenging job in front of me. The funeral for my sweet friend's dad was last weekend. It was a beautiful service, and a chance for many of us to catch up who had not seen each other in a number of years. Saturday evening, Dyke, Aaron, Julie, Cathy, and I all met for drinks and to look over some OLD pictures from back in the day. It was a really wonderful time and so good to see these people again. They were such a huge part of my childhood/teenage years, and it brought back many good memories.
On Tuesday, Matt Kerner, Tim Smith, Angela Robinett and I all jetted off to South Bend, Indiana for the annual Innovate conference at GCC. It was awesome, as expected, and it was also GREAT to just relax and laugh with these 3 other crazy people who I adore. We had some funny experiences (Tim and I stuck on the runway in Chicago for an hour and a half with a guy from Holland and a priest...you had to be there; and getting lost a million times with Kerner who supposedly has the "spiritual gift" of direction). I missed Darrell and the kids, but it just felt good to not be responsible for anyone other than myself for a few days.
Now it's back to work, but I'm excited to see what's in store. It feels like things around here (Schweitzer) are on the brink of change....in a good way. I feel very blessed to be here.
