Beach Day...



On Thursday we had a get together with all the other G SAC schools (Westmont, Azusa, Biola, Cal Baptist....). The purpose was to bring the Admissions Counselors together so they could get to know one another before they all go out on the road for travel season. Needless to say the guys in my office weren't too excited about it. There were two main things we were asked to do: come dressed representing your school and there would be a sand castle contest.

Most of the talk before going was "Hollie, it's going to be awkward" and "do we have too?" The guys started to get into it when I told them to come up with something for us to wear. They purchased white t-shirts and designed them with the saying "Got Curfew?" and on the back it said "We do." This was quite hilarious as there is a perception out there that we are really rigid in our rules so they thought why not make fun of ourselves and have a little fun wth it. It got quite a few laughs and was a huge hit. Then during the sand castle contest as everyone was making sand castles the guys wanted to make a little TMC person. As everyone was making their CASTLES we got a little creative.
We ended up winning the competition and were the hit of the day! Holla! It wa fun and we had a lot of laughs (except for the 2.5 hour drive home.) They were great sports and it was nice to have time with them away from the office. I was reminded once again how blessed I am to work with such great people.
The group photo is everyone together in front of our winning castle!


*Today I am thankful for my time with Tricia last night!
