worlds collide

you know what i really love? when the many facets (sp?) of my life come together. for instance, i always loved it in college when i could bring my friends home with me for a weekend to meet my family. becuase up til then, a)i love my family and b)i love my college friends, but c)they have no experiential knowledge of or love for each other. and it is a most wonderful thing getting to introduce the people that you love to each other; to let them collectively come to love and appreciate all of the things that you love about them individually.

it truly is one of my favorite things. it makes me very happy.

i have had TWO opportunitites for this in the past week. bless my soul.

number ONE: JMU meets salisbury
first of all, i hope all of you watched the UNC/MD women's game on sunday. i was there. it was fantastic. not only because UNC kicked butt, but because i was with the most delightful of people . . . some of which i have not seen in a very long time. my dearest friend/roommate kate from JMU came up from NC. we met up with another roommate (amy), faith harr and anna harr for dinner at applebees and the game. pics on flickr.


number TWO: salisbury meets family
stephanie and eric catellier are out here in CO with me for a long weekend with my family. a great mix. lots of snow. more pics on flickr.

here we are: brandon (bro), me, steph and eric; skiing at loveland.

how cold is it in colorado, you ask? today we skied in -4 degrees. yes, you read correctly. NEGATIVE FOUR DEGREES.

and just in case you need a refresher course on ski safety, the resort prints it for you on the napkins. never leave the lodge without your own personal copy of the "skier's responsibility code."
