Catherine of Siena
Last Thursday Sr. Nancy Murray, OP was on campus to perform a one woman show about the life of Catherine of Siena. She did a fantastic job. I try and help out my friend Sr. Catherine Colby, OP as often as I can. Sr. Catherine is the director of the Center for Dominican Studies here at ODU and her Center was the official sponsor of the event. Anyhow last week I was out in the lobby just before Sr. Nancy's performance and my friend Ginny captured this hilarious photo. You can't see it but Sr. Nancy was being silly trying to grab a cookie for the reception afterwards. It was a fun evening.
p.s. Sr. Nancy is Bill Murray's sister. They come from a family of 9 kids!

cool stuff
Today at the Zoo I gave my friend Kate a buzz. She works in the main offices doing PR stuff with Jack Hanna. Anyhow she met us at the end of her work day for a quick hello. We met up by the Elephants and her favorite animals the sun bears. Anyhow she came bearing (no pun intended) gifts for Fuller. A book about being a zoo keeper and a hat. Well after we parted ways Alicia and I noticed that both the book and the hat were signed by none other than Jack Hanna. Way cool Kate! Thanks a bunch. That was a fun surprise and a great way to end our visit at the Zoo.
p.s. that's Kate in the photo with me and Fuller (who wasn't interested in looking at the camera).
fun at the zoo
Today alicia, Fuller and I spent the day at the Columbus Zoo. It was so much fun! Fuller kept us busy and moving. He didn't even want to stop and eat lunch at a table. He prefered being pushed around while he shoved chicken nuggets into his mouth. It was funny. We saw all kinds of cool animals and even got the experience the new Asia exhibit. Complete with sun bears, and a really BIG and creepy python. Ugh! Apprently it's the largest python in captivity. Fun was had by all.
They leave tomorrow to go visit Momma in Dayton. But that's okay because soon enough I'll only be 3 hours away. Which seems oh so close!!

weekend festivities
Sunday was the big wedding shower day for my good sister-friend Morgan. Morgan and I have known each other for almost 6 years now. She is a delight and a joy to have in my life. She's fun to be with, she challenges me to be faithful, and well I'm just grateful to have her as a friend. She and Ben are getting married on May 5th. I am honored to serve as their Maid-of- Honor.
The wedding shower was a large undertaking, there were about 50 ladies in attendance, lots of yummy food was eaten and good gifts were opened. Now we're in countdown to the big day. Then Morgan and Ben will be off to a short honeymoon and then off to Alaska to do seasonal work for about 5 months.
Lots of changes in store.

why hondas are great cars!
This actually happened on March 27th but I kept forgetting to post this. My car officially hit 200,000. It happened as I was leaving the Starbucks drive thru so I quick pulled over in the parking lot and pulled out my camera phone. I love my Honda! Thanks Jeff for selling me such a great car!

all decked out
So I'm in a wedding on May 5th. Here I am trying it all on and taking a self portrait. That's what I have to do because I don't have a full length mirror in my house. The dress needs to be slightly altered in the shoulders but otherwise this is what I'll look like. Maybe the hair will be shorter but current polls indicate I should keep it long. Yeah for losing 30+ lbs. I feel great!
