Spring semester is over!

This semester has gone by so quickly since Colin and I have stayed super busy! Just a brief update of what has been going on the past few weeks: I went to San Antonio to present at the Texas Library Association annual conference, and got to see my family in Baytown for a little while because I flew in and out of Houston. Surprise: while I was there, my great aunt and uncle from Athens, GA were randomly in town and we got to hang out with them for a little bit. It was really cool to get to spend some time with them because I don't think we have been to Georgia for the family reunion for my dad's family in a couple of years.

Then, I came back to Michigan and Colin became swamped with work preparing for a big concert that the Wind Symphony at MSU was putting on. MSU College of Music brought in John Corliagno (who won a Grammy for his music for the movie The Red violin) for a week of clinics culminating in a concert combining the Wind Symphony, Symphony Orchestra, and A Cappella Choir here at MSU. It was a great concert, but lots of hard work to put all together, so Colin was super tired. Then, Colin took finals--4.0 for the semester! Woo hoo for my super smart husband!

Last week, we had friends over for a Cinco de Mayo party where I made real Mexican food (not the nasty stuff you get here in Michigan!) and then I went to an Academic Libraries Symposium in Novi, MI. Now, we are so ready for summer!! If only the weather would cooperate...
