The "Real" McDreamy

Since the earthquake in Haiti last week, I couldn't help but think about a dear friend, Dr. Drew. You see, Drew is not just a doctor. He specializes in trauma and emergency medicine. Admirable, huh? I think so!


Over the weekend, we found out that Drew was being deployed to Haiti (he left on Monday). What an amazing experience (on so many levels) for Drew to have an opportunity to help so many that oh so badly need him. The people of Haiti are truly blessed to have such an incredible person, who also happens to be an excellent doctor, care for them. I greatly admire the fact that Drew is truly making a difference in this world (vs. helping rich men/women become richer as you often hear in the business world). Please keep Drew, his team, the people that Drew is caring for and of course Jen and all four of their children in your thoughts and prayers.


Drew is truly the real McDreamy (or whatever they call the Grey's Anatomy doctors) for many reasons that go beyond physical appearance!

Faith * Heart * Team = 2009 CWU Volleyball

Last night, we celebrated the great accomplishments of the 2009 CWU Volleyball team. The night included an adventure to Ellensburg, a pasta dinner, awards & recognition, senior speeches & presentation of CWU jerseys and a video that captured many great moments of the season. Of course, we were especially proud of Brandie (AKA Bran, Bubs or Bubbles), who had another incredible season.



Below is the list of hardware that Bran picked up this season:

- GNAC Academic All American Conference
- CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VIII College Division Volleyball Team
- First Team GNAC Conference Team
- 2009 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division II All-West Region Team
- 2009 Daktronics, Inc. Division II All-West Region Team
- 2009 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Division II All-American
- 2009 CWU Defensive Player of the Year

Bran is such a hard worker both on and off the court and absolutely without a doubt deserves every single bit of recognition. We love you, Bran and are looking forward to your senior year!

For the family who was not able to attend the celebration last night, below are a few videos for you:












I am still working on correcting some of the photos, so be on the look out for another post soon!

Happy New Year!

A new year, new beginnings.... here's to all of you! May 2010 be a great one!
