I just saw my cousin Eli take his first steps! He's such a sweet baby and he already looks like a lumberjack:)

I'm so glad this week is over. I met the chaplain at the Episcopal Center at the U of M today (apparently the "the" distinguishes it from U of M). Anyway, the space is very swanky compared to the Rock, but I started to feel nostalgic because it's much less homey. Downtown is so far away from my new apartment though, so I may go to a super-ritzy church that's down the street. It's called St. Stephen the Martyr, and if it's possible, it looks more like an anglican church than SMSG. There are huge, fancy iron gates around a quad with beautiful flowers and a stone bridge and terrace that go over the river behind the building itself. I think it's probably "high church," but I grew up with that and I've kind of missed it over the past 8 years in Michigan.

I'm going to go see Spider-man 2 at the Mall of America tonight. If you've never been to the MOA, you should plan a trip;) because it's like the 8th wonder of the modern world! There's an amusement park inside the mall with roller coasters and a log ride, and there are over 400 stores!! It's so hard to describe how big it is- my best guess would be as big as an airplane hanger, but I've never been in one, so maybe not.

The amusement park is called camp snoopy:)
