Last night I met Brendan, Shannon, and Tim driving the Crossroads van on their way out to seattle. I actually met Tim last summer when Crossroads walked through Spokane. We hung out for a while in their hotel room. Curt Seidel one of my seminary brothers was also there and he introduced me. I have lived with Curt for a few years now and he has told me a lot about Crossroads. It was great hearing all the shared stories of these veterans of Crossroads and I'm excited to start the walk myself.

I have been staying at the seminary up until the night before last but last night I had to stay in the new temporary seminary building. They are preparing to tear down the old seminary to build the new one. I am sad that I won't be there to see the construction. They are actually moving one of the buildings accross the street which should be an engineering marvel.

This morning Brendan, Shannon, and Tim picked me up and we headed to Seattle. Things have been busy since we arived in Seattle. We got the oil changed in the van, picked up a new rental van, and they even spent some time at Kinkos. We got to Holy Family Parish in Seattle and unpacked. Then we inventoried our things and made a late night trip to Walmart. I'm exhausted and going to sleep.
