Evan Almighty. What can I say?

It was a GREAT movie and I HIGHLY recommend it!

My roomate and I went to see it today...it was one of those movies you walk out and want turn around and see it again. It was funny and it had a great moral. :)

Now...GO SEE IT...or I'm gonna "do the dance!" Don't know what I mean...well go see the movie then you can "do the dance" with me! :)

New pictures of my Maggie!



Isn't she beautiful?!?!

I made an unplanned trip to St. Louis on Thursday night to go to John's (see below post) funeral. It was one of the hardest days of my life so far...just seeing the pain his wife and kids were going through and the unknown future, and to hear my dad's pain was enough to make it a hard day. However...it was the most impressive funeral I have ever been to. John was honored with a FULL fledge military service. Please continue to lift up Bev (John's wife), and their children Stephanie, Jonathan and Natalie.

On a happier note, I was able to make a quick trip to the St. Louis arch with my parents. Below are some pictures of our trip.


I took the above image looking straight down at the Mississippi River from the top of the arch.

My parents and I.

I was standing right next to the arch when I took this picture...I just looked straight up when I took it (above image).
