yay for shea!

wow! it is hard to believe shea has come and gone already. i think time literally flies here... i always knew there was something odd about the eastern time zone. anyway... i will try to capture all the fun. we were not good about taking pictures either. sorry, i know the pictures usually give the blog a spectacular boost of fun!

pittsburgh is having a great event going on called radical days. these radical days have been going on for the past 2 weeks. it is a city funded program where each of the attractions in pittsburgh are open for one day each year for FREE!!! they are really awesome places... the zoo, tours of heinz field and pnc park, art, science and history museums, andy warhol... the list goes on. so the saturday that shea arrived, the art and history museums were on the schedule for the free day. it was a toss up between kyaking and museums. shea picked museums, so we did not waste any time! it is really just a tease to go for a day. you cannot possible see everything. it was great!


here i am in the modern movement of the art museum. i am mostly confused in this gallery, but somethings are pretty sweet... like this dandelion.


after all that fun, we went back to the apartment for a tour of the seminary and a little grilling out. we decied not to go to the pirates game because dave and andy's ice cream and watching the game from mt. washington was like "having our ice cream and eating it too!" back at the apartment, we decide to check out what is going on over in the dorm (better known as the seminary hilton!) boy were we in for it! i have not stayed up that late in a long time. we hung out with james and kelsey in the kitchen while she was baking cookies for the movie nighters in the game room. it got a little crazy for sure! i think the night ended sometime around 1 am, and we were all sore from laughing. conversations can get so twisted late at night. i will spare you the hilarious talk, but be sure to ask me to explain it sometime. here is a quote from the evening, "it's ok everyone. jan's pregnant." - shea

sunday was shea's big trip to shadyside presbyterian church. the day was full of surprises. we are being ushered up to the front row because the dude told me he had saved us some good seats ( i did not think he meant the very first row, but he did!) it is a little scarier than the first row at fpc in starkville! on the way up, shea notices dr. purves (jon's hero) sitting in one of the pews. side note here: shea has never met dr. purves, yet pointed him out to jon and me... hahaha!!! so after the wonderful shadyside experience we chatted outside with jon's professors for almost an hour! it was uncle dee's birthday, so dee and marsha joined us for worship as well. they took us out for a lovely italian lunch at joe mama's (pretty much our favorite place to eat here in the burgh, YUM!)

jon and shea played for worship at the night service we attend ( the open door), so they were tied up all afternoon with practice and setup. we actually gathered a crew of friends from the seminary to go to church with us that night. kelsey, james and lisa came to pick me up and vanessa was over hanging out, so kelsey drove this crazy bunch to the open door. afterwards, it was late so we just made pizzas to feed our growling tummies.

once the week started, it was not as easy to sight see and play around all day because jon and i had tests. jon and shea did check out the sharp edge monday night after class. we also made sure to take shea to our favorite park and parmanti brothers to hit some hot spots while he was here!

and before we knew it... it was wednesday!

sorry we are so behind on the blog... like i said- time flies!
