Winter Finally Came!

So the snow has been falling non-stop for the past few days. And two days ago it finally started to stick! Here are some shots I grabbed earlier, although we've added another inch maybe two by now. Enjoy, and those of you in warmer climates... please pray that God would either strengthen or move me. By the way, I just posted yesterday, I might just be getting into this blog thing.

Black and White Ball

So this past Friday, my staff along with our sister staff McKee Hall put on quite the program! We had our first ever Black and White Ball. It was fantastic. There were about 200 people in attendance, and they were all dressed to impress.

We decided to hold the event in our newly rennovated Brig, we moved a lot of furniture out and created a sweet little venue that really can best be described as "swanky".

As you can see we had a lot of fun. Every thing was black and white except our Red Roses, which was a really nice touch! We had great food with a decadent chocolate fountain, and we also had four dealers running poker tables.

But my favorite part of the night was our Mocktail bar. Sam, one of my RA's had great time mixing up tasty drinks for everyone. See...

The one of the four of us is me, Kristin my sister RD, Mike her fiance, and Rachel my former sister RD and good friend. You can also see a great shot of Sam and I shaking not stirring drinks. But my favorite of all is the sketch of me from one our students.

A New Year and Great Start

Hey Guys! I've settled back into work and life in Western PA, or at least as settled as I can be here. Things are going really well! Last week we had Winter training for the RA's and I was on the committee of RDs that helped plan the events. We decided to try a different approach this year and made training more like a conference with seminars the students could choose. It was a great success and just plain fun! After training was over my guys and I decided to have a movie marathon with a snack fest. It was great and there more than enough pizza roles to go around. I wish I had photos for yeah, but right now I can't quite place my camera... And I'm not sure how to get my pictures from my phone to my computer. Still workin' on that one. Hopefully I'll find things soon, because right now we're working on the Memorial McKee Black and White Ball. This is going to be a sweet event with semi-formal dress (in black and white of course), live music, classy horderves, a mocktail bar, and casino style activities. I'll be sure to post pics of that! Until then you'll just have to wait with anticipation for the magical festivities.
