One Day at Home

I'm in Colorado for just a day before I take off for Young Life's New Staff Training in Portland, Oregon. I am so excited, but it's 12:30 and I haven't posted an entry about my week in St. Louis, I've just finished packing and I still have a paper to write for class - I might be pulling an all nighter. Grrrr. My own fault I suppose.

I do have some pictures I want to share with you. My week in St. Louis was great. Prolonged because there are so many people there I love and also because I had to get the window tinting on my car fixed. So... I only had one day at home before I take off again.

Today we got a new puppy. I think my mom and I decided that her name is going to be "Leta" (pronounced "lee-ta"). We have no idea if it means anything, but it was the name of the street the people we bought her from lived on (awkward sentence). Here she is... (this is a close-up... you can just barely see her eyes closed and her little nose. She was sleeping in my mom's purse when I took this.)

Here are some pictures from my week in St. Louis. I went to see a friend, Jed Maschke, marry the beautiful Anna Hasty. Hung out with some friends from high school and my church, St. John Lutheran in Ellisville. I also went to lunch with my brother, Kevin. It was a good week.

My friend in St. Louis I've known since high school... me, Jake, Jenny, Erin and Ben.


Ryan Peterson... what else can you say??


This is Olivia Klemm... a good friend of mine from college that I haven't seen in a while. It was really good to catch up and talk with her at the wedding.


This is my twin brother Kevin. He still lives in St. Louis and just got a new place near Clayton. He's a kitchen manager at CJ Muggs. He's a lot of fun.


This is my good friend Erin... I miss her terribly, but it was really awesome to hang out and be goofy with her this week. She and Ben are getting married this October and I have the privilege of being one of her bridemaids. :) I'm very excited. Isn't she so good looking?!


This is Jake. He's 6'4"-6'5". We discussed the idea that if we got married and had kids - that all the boys would turn out to be really short and the girls would be 6'. It was an amusing conversation.


I did also get to spend some time with my friends, Tim & Tim. They are good guys - Laura Mueller and I watched Top Gun at their new house in St. Charles for the fourth of July. It was a good fourth. Although, I think my ears might still be ringing from surround sound.
