- Another side of President Bush 23 December 2008It's sometimes hard to cut through the clutter to see the kind of man President Bush is. Stories like this one from the Wall Street Journal are a helpful reminder that even if we may disagree with some of his decisions, attacking him as a man is uncalled for.

Spring Break
Filed Under Events
I had spring break last week for the first time since Jr. High. I went the Greenville for the week. I spent several hours each day working on projects that were due the week back, but I was also able to see a lot of my friends at BJ. On Thursday I was a guest speaker in the Introduction to Communication Disorders class. I spoke about graduate school and answered questions.
The real reason I went to Greenville was to help with two bridal showers. Friday night was a shower for Abby Garland at my parents house. Saturday night was a shower for Melanie Reem. It was great to visit with friends again.
Andrew took Friday off of work and came down Thursday night. We had a good time visiting family. Now it’s back to school. Only five weeks left!
