I am currently visiting Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Myself, along with four of my fellow students, were selected to travel up here to study the Restorative Justice Programs that Marquette is using in there community. Today we spent the whole day with a former Supreme Court Justice for the State of Wisconsin, and she shared some amazing spiritual and practicle legal concepts with us.

The Law School is situated in downtown Milwaukee and consists of several, enchanting historic buildings. Today we visited the Chapel of St. Joan of Arc (which was built in the 15th century and transferred here from France, making it one of the oldest structures in the U.S.) There is a church on almost every corner, and I feel like Marquette (being a Catholic Institution) mirrors St. Mary's community and spirit.
We are also having a GREAT time enjoying fellowship (and beer sampling) in the evenings.

Big Travel Plans



Hey everyone...it's my first blog, so I'll use it to update everyone on my travel plans! I recently traveled to Florida to visit my little sister, her husband, and their baby!!! I leave for Milwaukee in less than a week. After Milwaukee, I am going to visit my family in Dallas. Finally for the whole month of July and half of August I will be traveling around Europe. The focal point of my Europe trip is meeting Chief Justice John Roberts (trust me there will be a photo!). As you can see, my life is pretty exciting right now, but I still have lots to look forward to!
