Alright y'all, let's make some plans...

So, I'm pretty stoked about 8/8/08! Two main questions: 1) where are we going to stay? and 2) which nights are we going to stay? Are people going to come in the night before, late Thursday? And do we just want to stay in South Bend the whole weekend, like leaving Sunday? Also, we need to find some rooms that are either a really sweet, big communal-like setup, or just something reasonably priced. I'm trying to get all this stuff setup because I'm going to do a big U.S. tour via discount airlines with the month I have off between my internship and what will perhaps be my last year of school.

Might as well give an update while I'm here: Just started my internship for the summer with a big law firm here in Columbia. It's pretty crazy how much activity there is... just keeping up with all the firm social events is wearing me out, not to mention the trying to get work done or staying long hours. But I definitely love it so far, and am still hoping to impress them enough that they give me a job after graduation. Fingers crossed. Still dating Cat, and that's going really well. She's out in Phoenix for the summer for her internship... of all places, in the finance department of the nuclear power plant out there. It'd be really if when she came back she glows in the dark. The long distance thing really isn't a challenge at all after doing this past semester abroad. Spending tons of time on the river in my free time; pretty much every weekend. Anybody interested in a canoe trip or something of the like the day after the wedding? If people are interested I could figure out the logisitics...

Sorry the post isn't any wittier... I have to see more of you guys to remember all the inside jokes. Really looking forward to both weddings this fall. Anthony and Greg: glad we have you back. Ted: thanks for the call; gread talking to you. Rowlands: how the heck are you? You going to be the next one engaged? Ax: good luck this season, I'll be keeping an eye out. Sam: let me know if you're going back to Arizona this summer and I'll try to schedule a trip out there the same weekend. Sundy: love the "the knot" website. Sorry, someone had to give you a hard time... but I will say, I've seen a lot worse. Chris: definitely need to get with you on some of the logisitics stuff. Hope the job's going well.

Later dudes!
