After hanging out with Joe in South Bend and my grandparents in St. Louis, I traveled back east to Columbus for the final sibling outing with Jack (24). As some of you may already know, Jack just recently became a seminarian for the Diocese of Toledo, and is in his first year of Pre-Theology studies at Josephinum in Columbus. As many of you also know, Jack has been my best friend over the last 22 years. We have shared many great memories over the years, from playing catch in the backyard, to Irish football games, to fun nights at Marquette.
In Columbus we went out for some dinner and a few coldies at Bodega. Due to busy schedules over the last few weeks, it was the first time either of us talked in depth since our new journeys began. We are both entering unique new chapters of our lives, and are sharing some of the same feelings of nervousness and excitement of what’s ahead. We talked about our thoughts on the next year, both for each other and ourselves, and what some of our hopes and expectations are over this life-changing time. It will be such a blessing to have my brother and best friend going through some of the same things that I will go through. Although we will be 7000 miles apart, we will still have each other to lean on and be able share in each other’s experiences.
For anyone interested in following Jack through the seminary, his blog is: http://maninthemarble.blogspot.com
Also, I figured I’d add the newest family picture to this site, so you can see the siblings I have been blabbering about and the wonderful parents who are raising us (take on their 25th Wedding Anniversary).
