Erin celebrated her 23rd birthday on August 27th and we had a day chalked full of adventure. Trixie and I surprised Erin with a birthday breakfast followed by kayaking on Lake Union. That evening I took Erin to her first professional baseball game and her name was on the scoreboard!
After the game we had a small surprise gathering at the house with friends and my present to Erin were a pair of tickets to see Wicked. Luckily, she decided to take me to the show the next week.
I started my assistantship in early September and have been loving it. During my second week I helped lead a retreat to Camp Brotherhood (http://campbrotherhood.com/) with 40 incoming first-year students and facilitated the cluster group, "2 Legit 2 Quit."
I've officially been a grad student for about one week. It's weird and exciting to be back in the classroom and have required reading. This quarter I'm taking three courses - Foundations of Student Affairs, Introduction to Research, and Multicultural Perspectives. It's all so real now that I have to dedicate large parts of my weekend to reading and writing.
In other fun news we've had some great visitors over the last month, Jason Mockford, Morgen Marshall and Angela Kramer. We had dinner and drinks with Jason on the waterfront, spent a day at the Bumbershoot music festival with Morgen and rode the Duck boats with Angela.
Last weekend Cal Poly played UW in a soccer match at Husky field and we met up with fellow alumni to support the Mustangs.
Miss you all, can't wait 'till you visit. Lots of love.
Adam & Erin
