Steubenville OR Bust '08- YO!

Lauren Gets Us Lost

Everything was going fine...until, Lauren calls us to chat. Next thing, Tom realizes, that we just missed our exit. (Well, actually Aunt Joan realized it...but the debate is still on..) "Bye Lauren, thanks."

Tour de le Campus

Uncle Tom's Version: It was nice to meet Claire's "homie-girlz". They were all very "huggy-bubbly-nice".

Aunt Joan's Version: Spring and sunshine was in air! Lovely giftshop...t-shirt and books purchased.

Dinner At Friday's on Sunday

Great religions 101 discussions: A.) The days of Eden B.) Nudity policies C.) End of times D.) Vanilla Cheesecake....awesome

Mass On Monday

Tom: good. Very loud music, lovely.

Joanie (Hunny Cucial Crispy CRUNCH!): "I couldn't sing. I could only cry, through most of the mass, it was so beautiful. Chorus of Angels.

Mariology Class

Tom: Very good. Joan asked the professor about the validity of the Emmitsburg visionary, professor confirms that it was void of authenticity.

Joan: Wants to take theology classes...wants to further religious education (with her man??).

DINNER (Monday-Mexican Style)

Mexican polka with tuba resounding during our good meal and excellent conversation, regarding A.) Miracles B.) "Claire stories" C.) Apparitions D.) Good Salsa

The Seven Second Win by TRS

So the bet was: that with the music at (a little over) half mast, Joanie would turn it down, once she re-entered the car. Claire said she wouldn't touch the dial...at all. Tom on the other hand thought it would take AT THE MOST seven seconds.

Suprise, suprise...it took only 2.5 seconds.

Tom ... thinks he's a winner.

(Loser, much???...we know better:))
