UCLA Anderson Girls Weekend - NYC

The weekend of November 5th - 8th, Mom traveled to NYC to meet 7 of her friends from business school. The girls traveled from all over -- Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Boulder, Minneapolis, and Luxemborg. We rented a great apartment from VRBO on the Lower East Side. The weather was gorgeous during our visit, which included runs along the river, shopping in SOHO, a walk along the new High Line, star sightings (Lance Bass at Sugar), great meals both in and out, dubsmash, and quality time together. I was so honored to in the company such high caliber women, both personally and professionally and look forward to the next reunion. Thank you ladies for including me!

Halloween 2015

All the Pergandes like to participate in Halloween. We are never too old to get dressed up and celebrate. Mom and Dad celebrated on the 30th at an adult halloween party. Thanks to Aunt Kimmy, we dressed up as lucky leprechans, granting wishes and handing out Lucky Charms. Wasn't sure if Canyon would still want to dress up. But he and his buddy Nathan went as "rappers" and managed to pull in 18 pounds of candy each trick or treating. Presley went with some girlfriends as super heroes. She is the spiderman in the middle. Fun and tiring weekend!

MEA Weekend at Grand View Lodge

The Pergandes were excited to be invited again up north for MEA weekend. It is a great weekend with friends and some fun traditions that include: spa day for Moms, jumping in a frigid lake for the kids, scare crow decorating contests, bingo, bonfires, and golf! This year we also had some great fireworks and lots of games of corn bags! Thank you Jones family for a fun weekend!

2015-16 Hockey Seasons Begin

The 2015-16 youth hockey season is upon us. Presley made the 12UA team for the season and Canyon made the Bantam AA team for the season (both the top for their age groups). Both kids are super excited. Mom a bit nervous for the increase physicality that comes at the Bantam level. Keep your prayers coming!
