Okay, so it's been absolutely *forever* since my last update--- things are just crazy busy these days! In addition to planning a wedding and working to make Good Day Philadelphia the best morning show on tv....(smile).... I still try to visit with kids when I can.---  Anyone who knows me will tell you, I love kids. (They just have so much potential!)  Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet kids at Longstreth Elementary School in Southwest Philly. The kids and their parents are part of a program called "FAST." It stands for Parents and Schools Together. It's an eight week program,  held at different schools throughout the city, and organizers focus on doing activities to strengthen our local families.  When kids are in this program, their grades improve and they have fewer behavioral problems. --- It's really a fantastic program-- if you'd like to read more, check out www.pssckids.org.  I took several pictures--- which I'll put on here as soon as I can. In the meantime, here is a group pic.... I'm on the left!

Oh and by the way... would you believe we *still* didn't get a computer for my grandparents??!!! They read all of your comments though. My grandmother went to her church and had a friend print out all of your responses... since they don't have a computer! My fiance and I went to Best Buy to get them one... but it was too overwhelming, and there were too many choices to get anything accomplished in one weekend. So.. yeah... I'll keep you posted on that one!

Alright... I'm off to speak to high school students with my father! :) It's a program called "Lawyer For A Day" with the Philadelphia Bar Association. My father's a judge.. so it makes since that he's speaking... I'm not sure what I'll add to the conversation... lol ... but I'll do my best.

Have a good weekend!

See you in the morning! :)
