My birthday was earlier this week! C made it special by cooking his delicious stuffed shells for me and getting ice cream. He also got me a gift I'm super excited about, but it will take a couple of more weeks to get here. A microscope! And petri dishes! I can't wait to get photos … Continue reading Birthday!

No More Makeup
Last week I wore makeup, as I often do. We were getting our pictures taken. And C did not want to kiss me because he hates the texture and taste of my lipstick. Then he admitted he hates makeup. I always knew he thought it was frivolous, but I didn't know he hated it. Knowing … Continue reading No More Makeup
Soft, Softer, Softest
I visited A at lunch today and brought her Taco Bell. She was so excited when she saw me! She didn't know I was coming to school today. It was so sweet to get to see my baby for lunch! She invited me to the library with her and then bought me a cute little … Continue reading Soft, Softer, Softest
A Lovely Sunday
I attended OCIA today and learned about the liturgical calendar. There's more to it than I really realized. Christmas isn't just one day. There are so many celebrations of different biblical things and saints in the Catholic Church that you have some special observance rather regularly. I feel a little overwhelmed and yet happy. Sometimes … Continue reading A Lovely Sunday
Quiet Couple of Weeks
A is having a birthday party next weekend! We're giving the kids pizza, cake, and ice cream. I really hope she has a great time and that all the kids can come. I've been exhausted. The house is pretty much where I want it, except for a couple of boxes. Everything is clean. Now, it's … Continue reading Quiet Couple of Weeks
Life Updates
In the next 2 weeks, I begin RCIA classes to become Catholic. I'm excited! I still have some reservations, particularly with praying to Mary and the Saints. But as I read Catholic theologians and writers, it's making more sense. I have a new doctor to go to, and the office provides transportation when you need … Continue reading Life Updates
Our Anniversary
We're celebrating our anniversary this weekend. C has a 4 day weekend off. This morning, he took me down to the beach for sunshine and a pretty view. I have had a really hard week and have not successfully gotten out. Then we went to the store and he got me a beautiful solar lawn … Continue reading Our Anniversary
Health, Catholic
Due to my health, we have had to pull our daughter out of school to send her to a school with bus service. She starts sometime next week. I feel terribly guilty, but exhausted and frazzled, too. I will be glad she has bus service. At least she will get to ride to school with … Continue reading Health, Catholic
Work in Progress
We have gotten so much done around the house. We've probably unpacked 200 boxes in the past 4 days. My husband has been amazing. He works so quickly, and he's so patient and helpful. And our daughter has been a terrific little helper. I'm proud of her. I can't sing their praises enough. A had … Continue reading Work in Progress
Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
We went to the same church as last week today. The pastor preached boldly from scripture about wives submitting to their husbands and husbands loving their wives sacrificially. It makes me excited to go back. I emailed about getting involved with some volunteering. This weekend was lovely. We took care of errands together, but more … Continue reading Lovely Weekend, Lovely Week
