It's BACK!

27 days and almost $9k later, this is what a 2007 Honda Civic is suppose to look like:

Heavenly Heros

Just thought I'd share a pic of my kindergarteners who dressed up for All Saint's Day yesterday. Pictured above from left to right: St. Francis, "St. the lady who washed Jesus' feet" (Mary Magdalen), St. Rose of Lima, St. Mary, Mother of Jesus.....

And I was St. Gianna Beretta Mola

Return to Sender...

Today I got a Christmas card in the mail! It's OCTOBER... who could be sending their cards so early??

Well, it's actually not 3 months early, it's 9 months late...

Last Dec. 14, I sent out close to 50 Christmas cards... and today, October 20, I recieved one back that was sent to Waterloo, Canada. What have they been doing with it for 9 months? Did it take them that long to realize the location doesn't exist?

Crunch.

This is what a 10 point buck does to a 2007 Honda Civic when struck straight on going 55 miles per hour -



This is what a 10 point buck does to a field of corn when flying at a high rate of speed through the air 20 ft. from where it was struck.

A little close to home...

This evening I was informed of the death of an American Soldier a little too close to home...

Sam Pearson

He was the son of my mom's co-worker. They worked together for over 30 years, and my mom has pretty much watched him grow up...

Luckily, I do not know many people who have gone over to Iraq, and haven't even experienced much death at all of family or friends... so when someone I know of has passed away, it hits home...

Please pray for the Pearson family as they grieve the loss of their brave son.

America is home of the free BECAUSE of the brave.

It's been a while..........

I know it's been a while... well, I've been busy, and even when I've had time, I haven't had anything to say... and still don't really!

I have been going to the Y more often and hopefully that will "reduce body mass", and that will allow me to start the family we've been waiting forsince forever!

Also, Jon Paul and I, along with my mom and dad, brother and fiance, are planning a trip to Europe next summer... first and foremost to attend my friend, Anna's, wedding in Sweden... but while we're "in the area", we're trying to hit a bit of Rome, Vienna, Gaming, and Salzburg while we're at it. We are looking forward to it SOOOO much! There's just something about Europe that makes my heart yearn to go back more and more (this will be my 3rd time in Europe, plus a month in India - a total of 6 months out of the US)... I just love traveling and seeing the richness of history and how it cannot be separated from the Catholic faith - talk about boosting my faith and zeal!

Anywho - that's about all that's going on here. School is going very well - my class is fantastic... and God is just so good to me. Praise God!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I am ON TIME with an Anniversary Greeting!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MOM AND DAD! 29 years and still going strong! Thank you for being such a wonderful witness of love and committment to me, our family, and the world!
