My brother, Br. Peter “don’t call me Jesse anymore” Bares, has been away in Italy since September 2005 due to his religious vocation of monk in the Order of St. Benedict in Norcia which is several hours drive northeast of Rome.
He will be back in the States beginning July 18 for my wedding. In preparation for his visit back home he recreated his Facebook profile HERE to keep in touch with everyone.
He is going to be the Best Man and Fr. Jim O’Connor who will be celebrating Katie and I’s nuptial Mass really looks forward to meeting him.
Br. Peter also plans on being in Lubbock on July 19 for my bachelor party. Anyone that wants to see him before the wedding, if you are a guy, are welcome to join us then.

This weekend was starting off pretty sweet. Today I got a bunch of stuff done, picked up Joseph’s “Tool and Garden Shower” gifts from Sears to be presented on behalf of Pat, Andy, and I, paid the LP&L folks for the month, and stopped by Kohl’s for two new pairs of slacks. I also got quite a few things done at the office, which is, as most of you know, out of the norm for me. Another good deal was getting out of the office a bit early today so I could pack quickly and then be on the road here to the Days Inn in Brady, TX before continuing on to Fredericksburg, TX for Brandon Kuehler and Betsy Strosser’s wedding tomorrow.
