Day 202 - July 20, 2008

Amber and Larry have been married 3 years now, hard to believe but true. Anyway, they just bought a townhouse this year and it was cool to see it. By my tiny New York standards it is a mansion, they have 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and even a dining room. Larry made some amazing chicken fettucini and garlic bread for lunch. I hadn't taken any pictures of there place, so instead I took one of us leaving for the airport. Amber's favorite feature of the house is a balcony where she can feed the ducks from, I think that even my mom would be able to enjoy ducks from a balcony like that.

Day 201 - July 19, 2008

Kacie is one of my favorite people from college. She taught me how to love football and made me a Packer fan. We also spent a good deal of time watching box sets, so often in fact that we got all of our roommates to be obsessed with Alias as well. Anyway, Kacie and Dave dated all through college and they got married this weekend. It was a beautiful ceremony and a great party afterwards.

Day 200 - July 18, 2008

I headed to Minneapolis/Eau Claire this weekend, for Kacie and Dave's Wedding. Friday I left work a little early to catch my 4:30 PM flight to Minneapolis. Michelle picked me up and then we hung out in her and Ryan's quadplex. We then went to breakfast with my cousin Amber. It was really wonderful to see Michelle and Ryan as well as Amber and Larry. Even though it was a pretty brief visit with both of them.

Day 199 - July 17, 2008

The Rosetta Stone is in England and I think that it is such an incredible thing. The fact that it was the code to an entire language is SO awesome and it was cool to finally see it.

Day 198 - July 16, 2008

Stained Glass Windows always look so beautiful and shiny from afar that you don't realize how they too can get really dirty. That is a cool thing about being working on the Church Renovation this summer. It has really made me appreciate what a huge impact a thorough cleaning can make even on things that already appeared beautiful.

Day 197 - July 15, 2008

This clock is on the edge of one of the squares in Prague. I found it to be really interesting. I would never be able to actually keep time on it, but I can still certainly see the beauty of it. I loved Prague!

Day 196 - July 14, 2008

One of the coolest things that we did in Prague was to go to the Communist Museum. I found it really interesting, because the Soviet occupation of the Czechs is something that I really didn't know anything about. This statue was the thing that I found to be most interesting. It was so huge and I was kinda shocked I'd never seen it before. It only existed for a couple of years though, before it was torn down.
