What a bad author!

I'm terribly sorry that I haven't graced you with my cyberspace presence for awhile, but my actual reallity presence has been required on many fronts these past few weeks. The most important event of which was moving stuff into our new house! Our entire house saga from the begining, when we first decided to split the property, to now, where we are actually getting to move into our new house, has been a long and weariesome process of about three years. The most wearing part, however, has been the last six months during which we've been living in travel trailers while we waited for our house to be installed. But, its now in, and we're getting everything moved in and settled.

A few Saturdays ago(the 5th, to be exact) my brother Alex and I joined fellow YFL'er Christina up at St. Monica's on Mercer Island to help out with a pro-life symposium that was being held there. We ended up babysitting all day, which was about a blast and a half. Most of the little'uns we watched were from a family that had just come over from Ireland, that had three girls and a little boy. The two oldest girls(7 & 5) were the only ones who knew how to talk, and they had the cutest little irish accents, and all the little irish idiosyncracies. They were terribly cute, and needless to say, they pretty much had Alex and I wrapped around their collective little finger by the end of the day.

There were also several woderful speakers that day, and we were able to trade off with the babysitting so we were all able to listen to a few of them. Among them were such like Fr. Peter West of Priests for Life, The director of the local Project Rachel, Camille DeBlasi, and our very own Marie Harkins. Marie gave a very powerful and motivational speech, and that may be considered a biased opinion, except for the fact that her's was the only talk to get a standing ovation. Thats how great it was.

But, I must get off now, as I'm getting ready to leave work! I will try to write more later;)
