Well, vacation's over, Mooch.
Seminary life fired up again on Monday, so I guess that means I'm back to the daily grind--which, sadly, doesn't offer the choice to kick back and be lazy. Even in the summer, I don't often choose to take it easy. I'm prone to cram as much as I can into my summer "break." But now that all five syllabi have been distributed, the planner is filling up with reading assignments, and I guess that means my option to relax has slipped through my fingers. But since I never used that liberty much anyway, I doubt I'll miss it.

Until next week, of course.
For my last weekend of freedom, Kelly and I went full-throttle. Friday night, we dressed up all snazzy and strolled through the St. Louis Art Museum. Afterwards, thanks to a suggestion from some good friends of ours, we had an AMAZING dinner at Gian Tony's--I had the tortellini in a cream sauce with Italian ham, peas, and mushrooms. Wow.
Saturday morning was errand morning, and that afternoon/evening we went to the Sem's Welcome Back Picnic. We got to see tons of friends again, who we also got to see
At the Fall Quarter Kickoff we hosted in our apartment on Sunday night! Lots of people, lots of salsa, and a little bocce ball. Need I say more?
And now my desk is cluttered with books again, a few of which I should probably crack into before bed. Here's to Fall Quarter '08! Sigh.
Kelly and her trademark duck, on the way to the museum.
The St. Louis Art Museum, much better than Milwaukee
Getting ready for the big night!

I felt very much the same way when I had to leave home and a summer of nannying which allowed me to lay on the beach. It was fun while it lasted.
Those cookies were amazing! Thanks for all your hard work hosting the party. What a fun time!
PS: Nice duck, Kelly 2
I like the comic links--a neat touch to the blog posting.
It sounds like you had a really fun weekend.
Oh the trademark duck... I miss that duck
Though I love you, I highly disagree that the St. Louis Art Museum is better than the Milwaukee Art Museum. I've been to both and MAM wins.
It's HAS been a while since I've been to Milwaukee's ... I might have to go back and visit before I make a final say.
But that could take years.
So for now ...
STL: 1
MAM: 1
