memorial bench for grant

The Bullpen Bench idea was started by CSU Baseball Alumni Mr. Dennis Evans, and his two sons, Cory Evans (CSU Baseball Alumni) and Josh Evans (current Sr.). They began building the memorial with the help of the 2006 baseball team. The coaching staff would also like to thank Andy Viars, Ryan Smith, and Brandon Massey along with everyone else that was involved in creating this memorial.

What's your Personality?

A friend of mine is doing research on dolphin personality. As part of her project she had to give personality test to her raters. Since I was one of the raters I found out what type of personality I have......

I rated HIGHEST on conscientiousness (termed as someone who is careful, well organized, punctual, ambitious and perservering)..... For those who have ever worked with me know this is true.....although this is a good thing it can have its downside. Again, for those who have worked with me know about this as well.

I rated LOWEST on neuroticism (termed as someone who has much worry, insecurity, self-consciousness and temperamentalness)...... Now, I do have to admit I probably would not have always rated lowest on neuroticism, but it took some time to realize that some things just aren't that important and really in the big scheme of things, doesn't matter.

So.... the question is: What is your personality type?
Take the test and see what your highest and lowest scores are.

Group Pic

Atlanta Aquarium

We got to visit the new Aquarium in Atlanta (thanks to Marie) and we went behind the scenes and saw the whale sharks being fed and we saw the beluga whales. Here are a few pics. Hopefully some of the other girls will send me some of their best pics and I will post them as well.

Atlanta conference

This past weekend I went to a conference in Atlanta where I got to meet up with some people from USM. Here are a few pics of us out to eat. Notice in one picture, I think Radhika is showing Stan how she puts on her makeup :)

crocs

i just bought a pair of flip flop crocs. I don't really like the regular crocs but these are very comfortable. I also got my patio set up today so I am excited that I can sit outside and enjoy the nice weather.

Hattiesburg Visit

While I was at home I visited Hattiesburg for a couple of days. I really had a good time and Jennifer and Jacob were nice enought to let me stay with them for a few days. There are a lot of new stores and restaurants there and I think more are coming. I was ready to move back in a second after my visit but I guess we will be in Charleston for a little while longer. Here are some pics of us out to dinner.

Leslie's house

My sister moved into their new house only a few weeks ago. They were living in a camper until the house was finished. We ate crawfish and crabs while I was there. I also took some pics of Norman (a longhorn) and some more of their longhorns in a back field. I zoomed in quite a bit on the larger group of longhorns b/c I wouldn't let Leslie get any closer to them. She assured me they wouldn't bother us but I wasn't taking any chances with their horns. It is a good thing becuase on our way back out of the field through the woods our cart that we were driving ran out of gas so we had to walk back to her house.

Gulfcoast

I flew in to Gulfport last friday for my visit. As we were flying in it was strange to look down and see hundreds of blue roofs. We flew over the water before we landed and you had a view of the coastline. Really there was nothing there. Once I landed I drove up and down the coast. I was amazed at how much was gone. They were cleaning the sand and there was so much debris left behind. There wasn't much activity until we drove past the Beau Rivage. There were hundreds of construction workers there working on the Beau. I took a few pictures of Marine Life (which was barely recognizable) and a fema trailer with beach front property.

Home

I will be going back to LA and MS this Friday. I am going to stay the whole week and visit friends and family. I will take pics of the MS gulf coast and other things that have changed since we moved. Look back for a post in a few weeks.
