<br />
Though it is now summer and things are much quieter on campus, I am still working rather long days, as it's now time to catch up on all the things I didn't get done while students and faculty were still around.<br />
<br />
So, I've not yet worked much time into my after-work schedule for long entries here, as I tend to write just before going to bed each night -- and by the time I sit down to the computer, there's not much time to get in an entry AND get a decent night's sleep.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, though, there are many "snippets" of information, and frankly, just under the topic of "Bulldog Pride," I could do endless entries.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I've selected a brief video about The Renaissance Scholars at Fresno State.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0N9EOUj-Qo&feature=youtu.be">Click here</a> to see the raw feelings of accomplishment, gratitude, and optimism for the future expressed by some of the Renaissance Scholars who've just graduated.<br />
<br />
And <a href="http://www.fresnostate.edu/studentaffairs/development/renaissancepresentation/index.html">click here</a> to learn more about the program.<br />
<br />
Even if you're not a Bulldog...I dare you not to feel proud of these scholars. And proud of the people who support them.<br />

A few weeks ago, I discovered these little golden-nuggets-of-yummy-ness, nestled in with the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries at Save Mart. </div>

They may look like yellow tomatoes, but they're pichuberries, a berry from the Peruvian Andes.<br />
<br />
And they are dee-lish. They have a consistency kind of like a cherry tomato, and do have small, edible seeds, but are more firm and are both tart and sweet. Oh, and they're full of antioxidants, and have even been called the "diabetic berry," as they're thought to be very good for diabetics.<br />
<br />
Found this article that has <a href="http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/health/2012/08/16/pichuberry-perus-exotic-and-inca-treasure-fruit/">this recipe</a>, and am looking forward to trying it.<br />

When we first began planning the ceremony, all we knew is we wanted something personal that would be meaningful to us, to our families, and to our friends.<br />
<br />
This is the clearing where it took place, above Summer's Meadows, above Bridgeport.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These are some of the flowers that lined our aspen-aisle, beautifully arranged by a friend in Bridgeport, Malinda.<br />

JW, our good friend and my former high school softball coach, softly played the guitar for the processional. He didn't need speakers or a microphone, and was simply accompanied by the sound of a very light breeze through the quaking aspen.</div>

Parker, Bob's oldest nephew, helped our friend, Sara, marry us. Sara is a pastor in Ventura, and her dad, Willard, went on the CHP with my dad. Our families grew up together.</div>

There are few things in the world that Bob likes less than being the center of attention. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He said when he saw me come into view at the end of the path, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all of his being-in-front-of-everyone-jitters completely faded. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has said and done a lot of romantic things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The word "romantic" doesn't begin to do justice to how that made --</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and continues to make</div>

-- me feel.</div>

My four nieces were junior bridesmaids, I guess. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't know what to call them when we asked them to stand up with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We just knew that doing so seemed fitting, and lovely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, they are a representation of my entire family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a lot that I love about my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they represent all of it, in a multitude of ways.</div>

They walked down the path, youngest to oldest, each one gorgeous:</div>

Abbey read "The Invitation" by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.<br />
<br />
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.<br />
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are square in your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed down from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.<br />
I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore trustworthy.<br />

<br />
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can source your life on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the moon in God's presence. It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done...It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.<br />
<br />
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.<br />
<br />
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.I want to know if you can be alone with yourself, and if you truly like the company you keep in empty moments."<br />

And then Abbey read a final quote from Theodor Geisel -- Dr. Seuss:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"We are all a little weird. And life's a little weird.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And call it love." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our vows were next. Simple. Personal.</div>

We closed the vows by taking turns saying some lines that apparently are from the movie, "The Vow," which neither of us have seen. I found them online when I was searching for inspiration for vows, and we really liked them:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I vow to help you love life,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to always hold you with tenderness,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to have the patience that love demands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To speak when words are needed,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to share the silence when they're not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To live within the warmth of your heart,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to always call it home."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While it felt completely right to ask Pete, there came a point that I wondered if I'd possibly hurt my family by not asking my brothers. <br />

I called Bill and Jim, one at a time, and told them that I'd asked Pete.<br />
And they were both so supportive. And said they completely approved.<br />
After all, they're my brothers, they said. Not our dad.<br />

My name has been legally changed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We got the marriage certificate a couple weeks ago, and so I've begun the process of changing all of my -- and our -- formal records over. So far, I've taken care of the social security card and today, the driver's license. This is pretty much the busiest time of the Fall semester, so it's a bit challenging to fit in these little name-changing excursions around town, but it's kind of fun, too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each time I get a new document, I look at it a lot...like a little kid or something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I keep checking my social security card to make sure it's really changed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love saying Reid-Bevington, too...but sometimes I forget. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been trying to say it when I introduce myself to someone new, but when there's someone nearby who knows me, but doesn't know I got married -- at work, for instance -- it's a little awkward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And it's a long last name. Especially when you're used to a four-letter last name. A few people told me that I'd regret it...that it's a big pain on forms and explaining to people. I honestly don't think that day will come. I could be wrong. But I don't think so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And some of my students have already found a way to deal with the length...the students on the JCAST Student Leadership Council that I advise are calling me "Dr. R-B." They get a kick out of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a little awkward at this point, yes...but I even love it with the awkwardness. I love that I have my dad's -- and my first family's -- name. And Bob's -- and his family's -- name. Together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And Bob is totally supportive of my keeping my family's name. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think he's proud that I have both names.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Reid-Bevington.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yup. I like it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The girls donned their dresses.</div>

Sue had been patiently waiting all morning to get some posed pictures when we were all finished dressing, so while I got ready. she took some of the girls.<br />
<br />
I love these stairs. Used to play on them growing up -- sliding down on my belly, seeing how many I could skip by jumping over the bottom ones on the way down, trying to get Slinkies to "walk" down them (never did get those darned things to work like they did in the commercials) -- so it's pretty cool to see my gorgeous nieces on them like this.<br />

Nobody was more surprised than me by how much I loved the "girly stuff" associated with the wedding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got a taste for how much I was going to love it when Michelle and I went wedding dress shopping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And, honestly, it blindsided me the morning of the wedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But. let me back up a little...I think that, when compared to most weddings, ours was pretty low-key. And we wanted it that way. We wanted it to be personal and true-to-who-we-are, individually and as a couple. We wanted the prep and the actual festivities to be low-stress, and basically just wanted to throw a party for family and friends, and celebrate our new beginnings as husband and wife surrounded by all the people we love. And, with the exception of some stressful moments at the rehearsal BBQ when we realized we were NOT READY at all to feed and entertain so many people, the prep was actually quite fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If I stressed about anything, I was a little stressed about the hair-and-make-up part. I like to try to look good, yes, but it's gotta really be me. No extensions. No curls. the likes of which have never before bounced around on my head. And no colors on my face that would make Bob wonder what I'd been eating when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle to him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Michelle and I talked a little about what I'd do with my hair, and she had some ideas for the clip I bought for it. We were supposed to practice with some make-up and the hair styling before we headed over to Bridgeport for the wedding...but life is busy, yes?, and we just didn't get around to it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But then it all fell into place, as Missy had arranged for Faith Hysell -- who I didn't even know at that point -- to come up to Mom's house the morning of the wedding and do everyone's hair and make-up. Have you heard me refer to her yet as a miracle worker? Well, she is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really was blindsided by how much fun all the girly-getting-ready and estrogen-chaos was. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I even showered, Faith practiced with my hair. to figure out what she could do with the clip, and this is what she "threw together." </div>

Yup. I was gonna like this.<br />
<br />
So she began doing the girls' hair, one-niece-at-a-time. while I looked on, drank a latte picked up and delivered by sis-in-law Cathy, ate bacon and eggs served up by my big brother, Bill, and sipped on a Mimosa. Seriously. Who knew how great it would feel to be so pampered?<br />
<br />
Lacey had all her curls in place first.<br />

Michelle's a little more talented than the rest of us., and when she and Jesse arrived at the house, her hair was already beautifully curled. (I think, anyway...she could have curled it at the house, too, or Faith could have...I was drinking a Mimosa, remember?)<br />

...but there's a little more to the story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that part is for another day.</div>

So, when we picked October 11 for our wedding day -- when I'm in school and Bob's super busy at work -- we knew it'd be a bit challenging. We both absolutely love the Fall in the Eastern Sierras, though, so we were more than willing to go for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, Bob was a little more realistic than I was. The wedding was set for 2:00 on Saturday. I teach Thursday nights from 6:00 to 9:00. For months leading up to the "wedding week," I truly thought I would teach class Thursday night, as usual, and we'd head over to Bridgeport early Friday morning. After all, we'd have that afternoon and the next morning to get ready, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeesh. Thankfully, Bob knew much better, and convinced me we needed to take some extra time off work, and head over to Bridgeport on Wednesday morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We got to Bridgeport in the evening on Wednesday, just in time to have dinner with family -- including my uncle who'd come in from New Jersey -- and got up early on Thursday to go to Reno to buy all the supplies for the "Rehearsal BBQ" that would be Friday night at Mom's, and all the libations for the bar at the reception. Gotta love Costco.<br />

On Friday morning before the rehearsal, we made our way to the Bridgeport Ranch Barns and Terrace -- site of the next day's reception -- to drop off bar supplies and arrange tables and chairs the way we wanted them. The three youngest nieces helped, and found time to explore the private bar upstairs in the barn.<br />

Naive Bride Mistake #672: Buying glitter tulle to hold the personalized M&Ms that would go into personalized shot glasses. Key word here is "glitter," which, as YOU likely realize, will fall off everywhere, including into the M&Ms that you'd like people to eat.<br />
<br />
We spent a lot of time wrapping the M&Ms in plastic wrap before being able to tie them in the tulle.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This, however, wasn't one of them.</div>

Eek. I know. Not a pretty sight.<br />
But of all the incredibly precious moments experienced over that weekend, this was one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
Unlike me, Bob is not comfortable -- at all -- with being the center of attention. As we got closer and closer to the wedding -- even days before -- he started getting pretty nervous at the thought of so many people focusing their attention on us.<br />
<br />
We wrote our own vows, and saying them was one of the things he was most nervous about. We planned to practice them the day before the ceremony, but didn't want to do it at the actual rehearsal, as we wrote them ourselves, and wanted them to be a surprise for our family and friends -- especially for Michelle, as she was quite prominent in them. So, we were supposed to practice them with each other away from everyone else. But, we never managed to get away from everyone, as we were running around doing stuff all day, then had the rehearsal, and then had a "rehearsal bbq" at Mom's house. By the time everyone left that, of course, we were exhausted, and we went to our separate "homes" -- I stayed at Mom's, and Bob stayed at The Redwood in town.<br />
<br />
Though we certainly didn't stick closely to many wedding traditions, we did stick with the "can't see each other until the ceremony" one. Bob, though, was getting more and more nervous about being the center of attention, and especially about the vows, so we came up with a plan for practicing them without seeing each other.<br />
<br />
Bob had to come up to Mom's that morning to pick up some aspen logs that were going to be used to outline "the aisle" up at the ceremony. There is a guest bathroom on the ground floor of Mom's house that has a tiny window high above the sink. I figured that would be the perfect spot to practice our vows together without being able to see each other. It would also afford a little privacy, away from all the chaos of all the girls getting ready. So that's what we did. When he was done loading the logs into the truck, he called me on the phone -- cell to cell, he, right outside the house, and me, inside -- and told me he was ready. I went into that guest bathroom, climbed up onto the sink, and opened that little window. Bob stood outside, on the porch below the window, and we took turns saying our vows.<br />
<br />
I had just gotten out of the shower, hair soaking wet. I was getting ready to have Faith Hysell (miracle worker, by the way!) do my hair and make-up, and was wearing a big, comfy Pendleton shirt of my dad's. It was perfect, not only because I wanted my dad with me, but because it snapped up the front, so could be taken off without messing up my hair when I was ready to put on my dress -- which, thankfully, I could step into.<br />
<br />
But, yes, the shirt, wet hair, no make-up, perched on a bathroom sink, talking through a window...<br />
<br />
Not pretty.<br />
<br />
But hearing Bob's voice...hearing him relax, and say those words to me...both of us vowing to love each other and the family we were bringing together, forever?<br />
<br />

<br />
Just over a week ago, on October 11, he was greatly missed at our wedding. Bob never got to meet him, and he wasn't there to walk me down the aisle we'd created in the grove of aspens where we had the ceremony. And he wasn't there to dance a father-daughter dance with me at the reception.<br />
<br />
But all of us who knew him felt his love and presence. I'm certain he was there, looking over us, and beaming with pride at just how our family has survived, grown, and flourished in his physical absence.<br />
<br />
Building up to the wedding, I thought a lot about ways we could honor his memory when we wed. There were a number of things we came up with, but the traditional "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" bridal items afforded lovely opportunities.<br />
<br />
While I'm not sure, I believe that the old, new, borrowed, and blue items needed to be on my person during the actual ceremony. I had plenty that was new: my dress, my necklace and earrings, the clip in my hair, and my boots. Oh, yes, even my bra. Before and after the ceremony, though, I also carried this purse. It is a lovely gift, sent to me from Scotland by Alexandra Thomson, our friend who owns the <a href="http://www.aidenhouse.co.uk/">Aiden House</a> in Durness -- a wonderful B&B where Bob first told me he loved me back in 2011. A friend of Alexandra's makes these in Scotland, and she had this one made for me when she found out we got engaged -- it is made with the tartan of my dad's clan. So incredibly thoughtful. (Her friend's company is <a href="http://www.tartanbodices.co.uk/">Tartan Bodices</a>.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These are the remaining three items that were on my person. Well, on one of my boots, actually, as I walked down the aisle. "Something old" is the tie tack; it was my dad's, and though it's too small to see very well here, it's in the middle, and has an R on it. "Something borrowed" is the charm bracelet, and this is my mom's. The morning of the wedding, I told her that I wanted to borrow something from her, as I had something from my dad already, and wanted something from her, too. We went to the bedroom she shared with my dad, which is also where I got dressed later, and looked through her jewelry box and a few of her dresser drawers. These moments were precious to me, and I so enjoyed hearing Mom talk about the different items we came across, and the memories and love that went with them. We settled on this charm bracelet. She met my dad when she was 19 and in college, and her sorority sisters gave her this bracelet when she and Dad got engaged. It has charms that represent things that are really important to her from that time in her life, such as symbols of her sorority and college, a "love letter" that's supposed to be from my dad, and a tiny replica of Eastern Airline wings. Right after college, she was a stewardess, as they were called then, and Dad gave her the airplane charm that's next to the wings. "Something blue" is the sergeant's chevron that my dad wore on his CHP uniform. I've had that since he passed, and keep it in a tiny beautiful wooden box that also holds some of his ashes. It's priceless to me, and I think he'd love that I had it on my boot that day.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“…In marriage, the point is not to achieve a rapid union by
tearing down and toppling all boundaries. Rather, in a good marriage, each
person appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude and thus shows him
the greatest faith he can bestow. The being together of two human beings is an
impossibility; where it nonetheless seems to be present it is a limitation, a
mutual agreement that robs one or both parts of their fullest freedom and
development. Yet once it is recognized that even among the closest people there
can remain infinite distances, a wonderful coexistence can develop once they
succeed in loving the vastness between them that afford them the possibility of
seeing each other in their full gestalt before a vast sky!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this reason the following has to be the measure for one’s
rejection or choice: whether one wishes to stand guard at another person’s
solitude and whether one is inclined to position this same person at the gates
of one’s own depth of whose existence he learns only through what issues forth
from this great darkness, clad in festive garb.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I grade these on a simple 10-point scale. I assign the essay for two reasons: to get them thinking about an important course-related topic and to give them immediate feedback on the quality of their writing. Because writing matters.<br />
<br />
I just finished scoring the reflective essays for my Advanced Child Development Theory course. They had to write about learning, and specifically, about their experiences with, and thoughts about, learning in college.<br />
<br />
I love reading these essays. Part of it is that, due to the rubric I use, they're easy to grade. I just post a score, and they get an explanation through the rubric.<br />
<br />
But the main reason I love reading them is that I love being privy to what the students think about their own learning. It's often inspirational and even awe-inspiring.<br />
<br />
Here are two sentences from two different students' essays that moved me.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"For me, learning is the key that can open doors that I never knew were locked."</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"There is absolutely way too much unknown that needs to be known that I can't wait to know." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love learning.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have one of these in my office.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, when I got back to my office after class, I asked the Magic 8 Ball:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Do my students think I'm an idiot?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this was the answer I got:</div>

I texted it to Cathy, Abbey, and Missy. Michelle had already approved -- and helped me select between two pairs -- and I wanted to see what all the Reid women thought.<br />
<br />
They approved, too.<br />
<br />
Juli, a very good friend here in Fresno whom I actually met in Bridgeport (hey! kinda like Bob and Michelle!), met me for the dress fitting, and she approved of the dress <u>and</u> the shoes.<br />
<br />
So fun when my family and friends are happy for us...I couldn't be more lucky.<br />

Never watched a starz series.<br />
<br />
Until now.<br />
Actually started watching two in the last few days.<br />
Tonight, began watching this with Bob.<br />

<br />
Last week, started watching this, which I've been eagerly awaiting.<br />

Loved Diana Gabaldon's books that the series is based on.<br />
And love the show so far (two episodes in).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When a show has this as one of its advertisements,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what's not to love?</div>
