And the first apprentice back to work is...

It’s been an eventful week since I last saw you!

Went to Josh Schaffner’s Wedding
Laughed at a TWSS joke IN THE HOMILY
Opened the Echo house as a hotel for half a dozen wedding guests
Met the new Lalanne teachers that I’ll be living with
Visited Saint Barnabas for Mass
Cleaned my office
Got caught in traffic / construction on my way to Chicago for a conference
Heard presentations from awesome CTU faculty (including Donald Senior CP. Check your Catholic Study Bible.. he’s definitely the editor)
Went to a Phish concert
Met one of Muller’s friends from Marquette
Had coffee with an echo alum
Bought MORE stationary (I can’t stop…) from a fair trade store
Celebrated my best friend’s birthday with Chinese food and sparkling grape juice
Spent the night of her couch and reflected on how good it is to be with family
Received mail from Cuthbert (Mike, it’s okay to be jealous) He sent postcards from his monastery
Packed up everything I own and moved into a different room in the house (here's to new beginnings!)
Attended the Saint Barnabas Parish Picnic on Sunday
Painted faces, made buttons, sold sno-cones and Capri Suns to raise money for NCYC (oh the joys of youth ministry…)
Back in the office before mass this morning... it's good to be "home"
And, for those of you who saw my artwork on summer retreat, I think there are fewer trees.

gotta love chinese food and sparkling grape juice...

by the fact that you are the first one back to work, you truly show and exemplify what it means to be the heir of hufflepuff

Hurray! What a busy week! Sounds like it was a great one.

in response to the heading of this post -- shocking! ::insert semi-sarcastic look here::

Katie, you have no semi-sarcastic looks. Fact.
