Hello, again

Oops!  I forgot about this thing!

Actually, it's just been rather busy.  Lots of this:

And lots of this:

Hiking with the CFRs and some other young adults

Tough life, I know.

This is probably my favorite:

Also, this last night:

 

Michelle, Ninoska (a missionary at George Mason), and Julia

We made caramel apples.  Yummy.  And messy.

Not to mention donor events, concerts with students (my friend Emily is on tour with Jars of Clay!), a new graduate student study, bike riding in Central Park, rosary vigils, Sunday brunches, blah blah blah.

I hope you are doing well, too!

Curtis and fleas

Last Tuesday Curtis Martin (our Founder and President) was in NYC for a brief development visit, so Father Dan invited him to come give a talk at Columbia.  And of course, he agreed.

Me, Justin, Curtis, and Leah

It was a great chance to share more with our students about why and how FOCUS works.  He shared our model with the students and asked them what they wanted to see happen at Columbia.  He challenged them to see the campus through the eyes of Christ and talked about what it really means to know God.  It was great!  It got the students thinking.

Yesterday, I got to spend some quality time with two students as we explored the HUGE two story parking-garage-turned-flea-market just a couple blocks from my apartment.  There was some pretty neat and random stuff, but it seems one can never escape New York prices!

Jen and Julia exploring the first flea market we found.

That's all for now, folks.  Happy Monday!
