Back to Baylor

Big news on the family front--- my parents are headed back to Baylor!

This is a really exciting move for my parents. They’ll get to head back to their alma mater and embark on a fun new phase in life. They have been talking for a long time about how they’d love to get back to Baylor at some point, but this was the first time that the timing worked out on Baylor’s end AND my parent’s end.

It’s a perfect position for my dad and it’s so great that it’s at Baylor (my parents dated at Baylor, got engaged at Baylor, got married at the chapel on Baylor’s campus, and my dad was a professor at Baylor for the first couple of years they were married). Oh--- this will be meaningless to anyone who didn’t go to Baylor, but to those who did--- his office will be in Pat Neff Hall! I think that’s the coolest part about the job. Pat Neff is the trademark building at Baylor; it’s in the center of campus and has the bell tower that lights up green when Baylor wins a sports game.

Russell still has two more years at Baylor, but I think he’s probably less worried about running in to mom & dad on campus and more excited about the free meals they’ll provide!

 We had the family over to celebrate the other day and I made this glorious concoction. I wish I could blame the tacky writing on the uneven surface of the Rice Krispie treats. I don’t think I’ll be getting any calls to decorate cakes anytime soon (can you even tell those are bear paws?).

Congratulations, Dad! I’m proud of you!
