How's this for friendship? Driving 1300+ miles across the country twice over the span of a week to visit for a couple of days....crazy, huh? Well, Michael did just that, stopping by our humble little abode over conference weekend. It was so much fun to have him here and show him some of the great things that St. Louis has to offer. I did feel bad that we made him get up at about 6 on Saturday morning (he drove in about 9 the night before) to come out to a 5K we were helping with to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. He actually ran in the race while we were volunteering.
But we did do some fun sightseeing: The famous Anheuser-Busch Brewery tour (it was pretty interesting to see the beer making process, and crazy how much beer they supply), the Arch, the Farmer's Market at Soulard and Pappy's Smokehouse (a great little barbeque place right by school). Hopefully he had fun out here with us.
It was great to see you Michael! Thanks for coming out to visit (and Linzi LOVED the chocolate milk, by the way...we'll have a gallon waiting for you to try next time you come out). And for the rest of you out there, hopefully you see that we are exceptional hosts and book your stay as soon as possible. :)

Wow! Michael is a true friend. I can't even imagine driving that far for a weekend stay. However, we need to come out and visit you guys and the Dodds some time soon. Are you guys coming to Utah for Christmas this year?
