I remember seeing him during World Youth Day in the Mile High Stadium going around the stadium in his popemobile. We celebrated mass with him but really none of us paid attention. We were too little I think.

Amy that's so cool! I wish I could see the pope. He is coming to NY but I sincerely doubt I'll get to see him.

 

How's the planning coming along by the way? Are you and Mike getting excited for the big day?

[amy706]

it has been great! We are having so much fun and Mike is soo in to it. Which is good and bad:) Glenda, when are you and Jimmy getting married now? whats the new locale?

[Nrvsbride]

We still don't know. Unfortunately for us we had to cancel Cabo b/c of the in-laws. But hopefully we will get married soon. It will probably be in NY.
