The "Dean Team"

Giles, Thomas, Gerry, Me, Xander (Giles' son), Caroline, and Charlene

This picture was taken on our P.D. day out at Giles' family cabin at Victoria Beach, MB. It was a good time to hang out as a team and to get out of Gretna.

Now THIS is what I call inspiration!

My life as a dean...

As you can see, things are rather interesting around here. It's been a good first month as a Dean here at MCI with many blessings along the way. Currently I am able to walk/bike to work from the house I am "sitting" until mid November, this has been a huge help as it means I don't have to drive 30mins twice a day! Random fact: above mentioned house is less than a 10minute walk from the U.S. border.
Right now I'm sitting in one of the offices the 6 of us Deans share. Usually, there's a swarm of students in here with me, but alas, it's Saturday and most of them are sleeping, at home or gaming on their computers. One of the aspects of this job that is both a pro and a con is the amount of dead time; but I always seem to find something to do. I would have never pictured myself living in no-mans-land Manitoba; it's actually the last place I would have guessed I would end up. Yet I know this is where I am supposed to be for now; and every time I begin to ask the Lord "really?! here???!" He confirms to me in some small way that yes, this is the place for now and it's going to be ok.
