Easter, Powwow, Oregon, Tahoe

A post has been a long time coming! I so apologize for the delay. The following pictures are from 4 different events :)

1. Easter. My mom sent Cass a beautiful dress and she was as adorable as can be! Cass doesn't seem to mind bows; I happily afix them to her curls every chance I get. We went to a bbq over our friends' Jerome & Brett's home. Cass gathered a few eggs there.



























































2. Pow Wow. Cass and I joined our friend's Juana and Celeste for the UNR Pow Wow. Cassidy thoroughly enjoyed fry bread tacos and clapped on beat when the drums began.

























































3. Oregon. On our way home from a road trip to Seattle for Great Grandpa's 90th birthday (pics of that will come next week) we stayed in Eugene, OR with our friend Jessi. Jessi was an incredible host and we experienced Papa's, a great soul food restaurant.








































4. Tahoe. Cass' first trip to Lake Tahoe was delightful! Our friends Nate and Tasha and their little girl Ananda were in town visiting. They live in Korea where Nate works for a DoD school and Tasha works with a ministry.

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

NASPA @ NOLA 2025

I am very excited to get to serve on the annual conference team for NASPA 26 in KC! As part of the planning team, we have several onsite meetings. One is at this year's conference to be in transition with this year's team. Several of my staff members were able to attend the conference as well. Below are some photos with friends and colleagues who I was so happy to reconnect with!  The rest are notes I took from a few sessions. I as going to delete them, then thought, y'all might be interested in some of the random things always on my mind and in process. Take a peek! Also, NASPA stands for National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. While there opportunities all year long to engage with different groups and regions, in person and online, the annual conference is the premier event where you can learn and hang out with over 6,500 of your peers in higher ed work!  Notes: The balance of crisis management and change management is ongoing. Rest is essential. Decisio...
