Building Awareness

This picture is from over a month ago when Brett and his Stanford buddies went on a trip to Pismo Beach, CA to celebrate the end of Nick's bachelorhood. I meant to post this a long time ago!

Obviously I've built some great brand awareness for the Junior League among our friends because Peter spotted this "junior league" sign and he and Brett posed while Travis sent this to me from his iPhone.

The funny thing besides their pose and Peter's hat, is that when I received the picture I thought "Wow - there is a Junior League fundraising program in Pismo Beach!" Brett had to explain to me that they were standing in front of a bowling alley and it was talking about a bowling league!

Graduation Weekend

Brett's graduation from Stanford GSB was last weekend. We had family and friends around the whole weekend to celebrate Brett and it was a ton of fun. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it the festivities, even if you were only here in spirit! You made the weekend very special and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

School dazed and confused

Alright, alright, alright.

Brett's done with school! Yesterday was his last day of class at Stanford. I think it was a little emotional for him since he now officially has to enter back into the real world and do some bizness. I felt a little sorry for him too. But only for a few minutes...then I started the official count down clock to my retirement.

To commemorate the finale of his time at the GSB, here's a picture I took of him on his first day of classes. That day, it was cracking me up that he was a grown man and wearing a backpack so I had to take this picture. Not sure why he's flashing signs, so just ignore that part. Do not, however, ignore the fact that his hair was so short back then!

Although it has been a great week due to school being over, Brett's been recovering from a back injury he suffered this past weekend which left him "looking like he was permanently stopped in the middle of a dance move" - Brett's description of why his back looks all twisted up. If you've seen him dance you can understand what he's talking about. He's recovering well due to the meds that left him a little dazed and confused. We're hoping he makes a speedy recovery because we have lots of fun stuff planned over the next two weeks and we can't have him hobbling around anymore!
