Hello My First Year Friends,

So today is the 4th of July.  We are currently working because we had Monday off instead of today, but don’t you worry we still had the opportunity to partake in the 4th of July festivities.  This morning we participated in the Hollyhock Lane Parade.  This is one of Grand Rapids oldest parades.  So we decked out one of our golf carts that we use for Passport in all calvin gear and got a spot in the parade.  We were technically in the “environmental” group for the parade so we said that we would use the theme of “agents of renewal in God’s world”.  We figured that fit with the environmental theme.  Anyways we did the parade and screamed Calvin’s name and we actually got a ton of support from people who went to Calvin.  We also threw some candy which i think helped.  So at the end of the parade i guess they vote for the top 3 in each category and our float got 3rd place!! and we got ribbons and $10! so awesome!

Well i hope that all of you have a safe and fun 4th of July and are getting pumped to get to Calvin!  We’re excited for all of you who are coming to Passport 1 (it’s coming fast, only 4 days!)

ok homies,

Peace out

Hello again my friends,
I really have no idea what to write about. I’ve never been that big into weblogging, probably if i did i would just talk about non-sense which is what is going to happen right now. : )

hmmm...well i’m sitting in my office on a friday. i share an office with Dan Hasson. It’s really fun because we get to listen to music as we work.  Some of our favorites are red jumpsuit apparatus, nee-yo, journey, jack’s mannequin.  Those are just to name a few.  We are also in charge of putting together all the mixes for PASSPORT and QUEST so i hope that you will enjoy.  We are very eclectic.

I’m getting really excited for our first PASSPORT.  We started working on our skits and i really hope that you all enjoy them.  I’m kind of nervous because my little brother, Nathan Triezenberg, will be a freshman here at Calvin and him and all of his friends are coming to the first PASSPORT. I hope i don’t make an idiot out of myself in front of them, because i will never hear the end of it! : )

Well i guess i should get back to work, enough of the nonsense.  Enjoy the sun and get hyped for college!

Peace…

oh and i’m with Andy, i think Arial is a jerk and Jasmine is cooler but Eric is hotter than Alladin.
