Fantastic February Fun

Well, February has been an extremely busy month!

My daughter turned 1 this week. It was a lot of fun to have her experience that for the first time. Poor girl didn't get the concept of blowing out the giant "1" candle and almost burned her nose off! She totally grasped the concept of eating cupcakes, though, and was able to achieve a full-body Vanilla Frosting mask with complimentary pink cake speckles! That took a long time to clean up, but it was worth it!

The last week of January we were able to hold a recruiting effort at CEU's student center. We ordered three 2 1/2 gal. buckets of Aggie Ice Cream (oh, yeah... only the good stuff!) and sat in the student center handing out ice cream cones and talking about USU-Price. We were able to talk with about 100 students, most of which didn't even know that USU-Price existed. I feel that it was a success, as we were at least able to get word out to the students (and a few faculty/staff who didn't know that we had master's programs). Next, I'm going to take a page out of USU-Ephraim's book and design a flier and do some dormstorming! That will be fun!

In terms of activities, I've decided to do one large activity for the semester in combination with CEU's nontraditional committee. I think I mentioned the idea we were developing in my last post. We haven't been getting much of a turnout for our regular monthly activities, so I'm wondering if we'll get a better turnout for one large, family-friendly, singles-friendly, etc-friendly activity. We'll see how it goes!

I have a new nephew! Well, actually, he's my only nephew. Before, I only had a niece. Anyways, he was born the day after my daughter's first birthday! Yeah for more cousins! This makes two cousins for my daughter, and three grandkids total for that side of the family. My side of the family only has my daughter in terms of grandkids and really needs to catch up!
