Thanks for the heads up
I came in this morning to find out our campus is undergoing an internal audit by a team from another campus and our VP of Academic Affairs. News to me! Thanks for the big heads up. And it looks like I'll be heading to Virginia in about three weeks to set up the libraries at our two new campuses out there. Cool.

Had an awesome weekend with our nephew, AW. He is the funniest, cutest thing ever! We took him to Chuck E Cheese where I ate way too much pizza but, I think I worked most of it off playing endless rounds of Skee Ball. AW rocks at Skee Ball for a five year old. Hell for any age. He rolled the ball into that 100,000 points hole three times!
On Sunday I was determined to work some physical activity into our weekend so we headed over to the Red Oak Nature Center and explored the trails around there. There is a beautiful observation deck that overlooks the Fox River where we stopped to take pictures before hiking to Devil's Cave. It's a small cave with a low ceiling so The Saint and I had to squat inside it. I tried not to think about what might be crawling or flying around inside the cave while we were in there. The Saint was so impressed I even came up with the idea of going to Red Oaks. Normally any encounter with nature leaves me freaked out and screaming like the girl that I am. I hate bugs, spiders and insects of any kind, I'm always afraid of stumbling across a snake like I did once while walking the trail at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center and I never used to walk through the forest without a hat on for fear of something (tick, bird shit, etc.) falling on my head. But I managed to handle our Sunday hike without incident or freaking AW out by shrieking in fear.
What can I say? It's a new me.
