I was asked to come back to SDSU and give the "Robinson Lecture" at SDSU. It was a great honor and felt so good to be back and see so many of my past professors, friends, and family. I had the opportunity to speak to 3 classes of students while I was there, but due to 6" of snow my talk on Thursday night was canceled and rescheduled to the next day in conjunction with a class I was scheduled to talk with. I am sad to say I didn't get my camera out and get a picture - but here is an image of the building I had all of my classes in as an undergrad.
We stayed with my parents and and had so much fun. My mom and I went through the cedar closet in the basement and sorted through old prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses to decide what to keep and what had to go. We also went to a movie shared a lot of laughs.
On Saturday we drove to Beresford SD to visit our friends the Radkes. Jon went to middle school and high school with Mike we feel lucky to still be close to them. We had a fun day with Mike, his wife Danielle, and their three kids: Will, Katelyn, and Samuel. We through there kids a little bit out of their normal routine and riled them up a bit - which produced great fun and some low moments for the kids. In any regard - it was refreshing to see them and spend time with old friends. Although Jon likes to claim that I am the "blogger" in the family (and sometimes writes as if it is me writing) he crafted the video from our time at the Radkes. You will all be able to tell this based on his play on Star Wars - (My first star wars movie was Episode I and jon is enamored and slightly embarrassed to say that I am probably the only person ever to have watched the series in chronological order).
Anyway - Enjoy the pictures from the weekend and the video.....
The video is still to come - it was processing for 24 hours and it is NOT THAT LONG - hmmmmm. Maybe my computer savvy husband can figure it out later tonight.....we are off to work.

You won the 100k competition. I really thought I would beat you on that one. I am right behind you though!
Hey Jess, it's Lindsey...I hit the 100,000 mark last summer and took a picture too, so funny! Hope all is well, and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Hi, it's Mike's older sister, Sarah. I jacked your address from the caring bridge site, hope that's okay. Are those three the funniest kids ever? What a bunch of dorks...And I'm sure there is no encouragement of dorky behavior from their Papa and Uncle Jon. They are so lucky to have the two of you in their life and I feel Samuel Jon has a leg-up in his battle with such a strong namesake. My email is siradke@yahoo.com. I'll be checking back here...Waiting for your own baby news! Much Love. Sarah
