Hey everybody- sorry for the delay in blogging! The past 10 days have been a bit busy! The week before last, Patrick and our friends were staying at school late every night to get their posters done for a graduate forum on campus, and for an AAG conference in Boston. A couple of nights I visited them and brought food, and stayed for moral support until midnight or a little later. Friday night before the forum, we were there until 4:30 in the morning because the printer was absolutely stupid, and we only got 3.5 hours of sleep since the forum was in the morning.
The nice thing was, Patrick's parents came Friday night, so they were able to see Patrick's research and poster. It looked fabulous and he was one of the 6 finalists (and Kat got 2nd place, so they both did very well!) We were also spoiled (going out to eat, filling up the gas tank, etc), as is the fashion when we are around family members older than ourselves. :D
Everybody got up super early this past Monday morning since Patrick's parents were headed back to Michigan, and Patrick met up w/ some of our friends at school to carpool to St. Louis for their flight to Boston. Consequently, I've been alone all week!
Actually, it wasn't too bad though. Patrick's kept me informed over the phone and it sounds like he's been having a fun time and seeing a lot of the city (and some of the Missouri State people there received awards so the conference was a success too!) As for me, Kat and I were the only ones not in Boston so we hung out almost every night- dinner, shopping, and the movie theatre kept us quite busy!
Patrick is coming home late tonight though, so despite the week not being too treacherous, we're happy to be back together again!

i had been quite concerned as to why patrick had to go to boston. i now see that there is a 'g' at the end of 'aag'. whew! i should rest easier now.
i guess my above comment is a bit deep or heavy on thinking. patrick went to 'aag'. if the 'g' is removed, he went to aa --as in alcoholics anonymous--implying he has a boozing problem. hahaha. okay, not that funny and too much thinking involved. anyhow, glad his trip was successful and the womble visit went well. love ya kids.
