I have never met someone who has made me feel more myself than Andrea. She knows my deepest secrets and my biggest ambitions. It has been said by some that Andrea has more compassion in her little finger, than many do in their entire bodies - in fact patients have looked up from their beds while she is caring for them and mistook her for an actual angel (after  having the privilege of being her "patient" this past January while fighting the stomach flu - I tend to agree). Having finished her degree as a student at the University of Iowa in the  College of Nursing, she is now working in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at Loyola - she works 3 weeks of days (7am-7pm), followed by 3 weeks of nights (7pm-7am).
Current tid-bits: She finished her first 1/2 Marathon this spring (events), went on a SCUBA Diving trip in Bonaire (pictures), and is now in high-gear getting ready for the wedding.

Adam N. Clementi    roll-over image --->>
Adam is a totally cool guy, when asked to say something about him, people on the street usually exclaim "I want to be just like him - he is my idol!" (or something to that effect). Currently living in Palatine anxiously awaiting the big day, Adam spends his days working as an IT Consultant for Saint Viator High School and the Clerics of St. Viator, afternoons coaching the SVHS Girls' Swimming and Water Polo teams as well as the Arlington Alligators and evenings trying to figure out where he is going to put all Andrea's stuff once she moves in this October. He enjoys cooking, swimming, rock climbing, grilling, making beer and wine, and doing manual labor (bring on the "Honey-do" lists!). He would also like to note that it is odd referring to himself in the 3rd person.
