Last month I headed to St. Louis to see one of my good friends with Teach For America get married. I was lucky to be able to spend some time with the St. Louis Keels and work out of the St. Louis regional office for a week. I received a private tour of the Arch from my cousin who now works there- and I have to say that in a competition of the Arch vs. the Sears Tower - the Arch will always win. We also went to the Body Worlds exhibit at the Science Center. It was pretty incredible and if it comes to a city near you - I highly recommend it...the human development section was so revealing and who knows, maybe the people that see this exhibit will think twice about what the human life really is inside the womb.

I'm trying to get more involved with the young adult group at the cathedral here in Chicago and I'm trying decide if I should just register at that church instead of St. Helen's...I talked to a few people last night and I learned that there is a church fairly close to me that uses the Latin Rite - I've never been to a Latin Mass, so I think I'll check it out just to see what it's all about.
I'm headed to Madison next weekend - to spend Thanksgiving week preparing for the arrival of the rest of the family....I can only hope that I'll be able to play Wii all week long!!!!

First Comment! ROCK ON!!! Hey, bring the Party-in-the-Box for Thanksgiving! We're looking forward to seeing you!
Dang Katie--I left a long comment, then had to sign her out so lost my original comment...
We should just bite the bullet and buy Mary Ann her Christmas present early--Mario Party 8 for the Wii!!
Glad you didn't get stuck in the Arch. I love the ride up and down--I think it's even better than the view.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few days. We're trying to get the downstairs part partially done so at least the floor is clear so someone can sleep in there.
Maybe not first comment...but better than the first comment :)
Dream on, Robert.
Oh, and my original, way-cool comment was also deleted because you were still logged on.
Mitzi, Mary Ann keeps informing us that you will be here next Saturday, buy you're not here yet. FYI
So I think I'm going to come on Friday...I'm not sure when I'll be getting in - but definitely Friday. Get excited!!
@@@@!!
For weeks I've been checking this site twice a day to see any updates. Then for the week after Mitzi was here, I was checking three times a day. Then I wasn't on the computer hardly at all over the weekend. So here it is, Tuesday night, and I'm totally last. Katie's even put two comments on. And to make matters worse, Dom's decided to start biting my leg. Could this day get any worse? Probably not. . .
