| Three Tigers |
Just to show that we in Winston-Salem do not hold grudges or hard feelings - our front page this week is of three Clemson Tigers. For those of you who don't know - Clemson thumped Wake Forest this week 52-3. Ouch!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR

| Fellows and friends of Fellows |
On Saturday evening, we celebrated Andrew and Abby's engagement! The big day is scheduled for the end of February. Cannot wait!

REPRESENTING

 |
| Back in Winston, I got to hand out with one of Julia's beautiful bridesmaids, Natay! |
We are sending well wishes to Reese and Julia as they celebrate a shade over two months of their new life together in Peru working for an NGO. Life is bueno.
SPEAKING OF BUENO
 |
| The Costens slaughtered Round Table |
Round Table Monday night was at the home of Jade and Jessie Costen. It was soooo good. Lots of laughs. Lots of beautiful conversation.
Their dog Sunshine had never heard or seen a guitar before - so that was an experience. We also almost had to do the Heimlich on her after she choked on a bone - that would have been a first!
 |
| The kiddos joined in the fun |
 |
| JM made himself at home |
 |
| Jessica gave the dessert a thumbs up |
 |
| Jackson, Johnny, Reiley and Branne make a perfect diagonal |
A great night was had by all - thank you Costens!
BUDD Time
 |
| We had a blast with this crew |
 |
| Brad and Halston held the room on Wednesday at Leader Lunch |
I love when we get to visit our friends at the Budd Group. They are an amazing company that in so many ways exemplifies what we teach our Fellows.
It has become a great partnership. There are now four programs that employ Fellows at the Budd Group in four cities!
Here in Winston-Salem, he have two Fellows alum who are working with them full time. That's exciting stuff!
 |
| Brad and I reliving our glory days back when he was in college |
 |
| So much love going around the room |
 |
| Not sure why they leaned in. Lots of wall. Lots of wall. |
JMU OR BUST
 |
| Visiting Christian on his new campus |
After Leader Lunch I hit the road and drove up to JMU to visit Christian McConnon (alum) and speak at RUF where he is currently working. I met a bunch of amazing guys, including this guy next to Christian. His name is Paul. I hope he applies!
SMOKE BREAK
 |
| Chris Lambert and Byron Williams |
Sometimes you just have to wonder: what did I do to get to live a life like this? But here Greg and I were solving the world's problems with Chris Lambert, CEO of Life Remodeled and columnist, talk show host, author, professor and all around wonder man Byron Williams.
 |
| Introducing Greg to some of the finer things |
I have not inhaled so much smoke in my life! Ha!
SO CLASSY
 |
| Haley, Hannah, and Reiley solve Health Care during Friday morning's class |
 |
| Sophie Earle and Jacob rethink politics |
 |
| Jessica, Brianne, and JM reform church |
HOME OF THE BRAVE
 |
| Anna Rose and her friends sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Wake Girls Basketball Game Friday night. |
FAMILY AFFAIR
 |
| Brianne had the chance to introduce her host family to her real family. They kind of look all related don't they? |
 |
| These guys don't get along at all |
 |
| Nope |
MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH
 |
| Anna Rose accidentally put the milk away in the pantry instead of the fridge. Imagine my surprise this morning! |
PICTURE THIS
 |
| Jessica takes a picture of me taking a picture |
Can you picture what life would be like if the Fellows didn't exist? Well, believe it or not, it only does because men and women like you support it.

RECRUITING
