The Arch

This is the St. Louis Arch. I took this picture when I went to STL with the trainee pool back in January. Wow...it seems like so long ago, but it was only a couple months. It was the last time I have been to the States, too.

I love it here, but I am ready for a visit back to the motherland. Really, the thing I want is to not miss my buddy's wedding at the end of September. I really, really want to be there for that. It would be great if I could make it back for that and stay for about 3 weeks. Then I could go to my University's homecoming and see a lot of my friends who will graduate this year. And I would not miss a chance to go to Lobster Battle 4 in Louisville. I think it would be an exceptional trip. Maybe something will happen and all the cards will fall into place in the next couple days and it will work out perfectly that way. I find it hard to be that optimistic...
