St. Therese - The Little Flower

I love you!

St. Elizabeth of Hungary

For my friend Beth! Thank you for being such a good friend!

BLESSED LOUIS AND ZELIE....

I woke up at 4am to watch the Beatification of St. Therese's parents!! It was very beautiful and special to me because I was blessed to be able to have visited Lisieux a few years ago and it was fun to see the cathedral again!! Such a BEAUTIFUL place!! Of course I cried this morning! Here they are! God Bless!
Their Feast Day is to be on July 12, which is their Wedding Anniversary!!

Happy Feast Day my sweet little friend!

I am so glad that I was introduced to you 10 years ago!
I Love You!

A lot going on....

There has been tons of things going on the last several weeks!! Our oldest son moves into his own apartment this weekend. He doesn't want to re-locate with us, and I really can't say that I blame him! So, Steve and I will be empty nesters for the first time, which excites me and scares me at the same time! I'm happy for Nick though...the apartment is in an old mansion built in 1883!! It is REALLY BEAUTIFUL!!! The apartment is a small one bedroom, but it will be perfect for him!! Plus, he can walk into town and work if he wants to!!

Alex started his Jr. year at Southwestern University in Texas and still loves it!! He gave us some rather shocking news about a month ago now...I'm thrilled beyond words....he confided in me that he is SERIOUSLY discerning entering Seminary after he graduates in 2010!!!! He is thinking about the Austin Diocese!!! I was shocked but not surprised if that makes ANY sense at all!! I just keep repeating, "God's will be done", about a gazillion times a day!!! If it is meant to be that he becomes a Priest, then he will!!! I'm very, very, VERY excited for him!! I figure that even if he decides that he doesn't want to become a priest, that his discernment can only make him a better young man!!!! So, it's a win/win situation!!

We will probably be putting the house on the market in the next month or so!!! SO MUCH GOING ON...MY HEAD IS SPINNING!!

I have been meditating on Mary's seven dolors...I think it has been so powerful for me because I have my two sons....I am hoping to find something on it to enhance my meditation.

I'm in shock....

My husband just came home to tell me that he is being asked to move closer to his territory...which means the Lake Placid...Burlington VT. ....Plattsburgh area. I am trying to be supportive but, this REALLY, REALLY, scares me!!! These area's seem SO remote!!!! Please pray that we make the right decision!

Last Night at Dinner...

This was taken last night at dinner. It's seems like all we have done all week is EAT!!! Ugh! I need to cool it after things are back to normal!! We did have a great time and a wonderful meal though!! Tonight we are going to the Symphony at SPAC. We are very lucky to have the Philadelphia Orchestra spend every August in Saratoga Springs, as well as the NYC Ballet every July!!! Last month I saw the Prodigal Son at the Ballet and it was just BEAUTIFUL!!!

I love my guys!!

Here's to a BEAUTIFUL weekend!

St. Dominic

In honor of my Parish Priest, Father Dominic. Father Dominic is a very kind and pastoral priest. We are very blessed to have him at our Parish. Right now he is relaxing in Cape Cod with some other priest friends of his, and hopefully, have a splendid time!

May God Bless You, Father Dominic.

Two of the three greatest loves of my life....

This was taken at Dinner Tuesday night...I just ADORE having my sons home! It will only be until next Wednesday, but we are really enjoying our time together! I can NOT believe that they are not kids anymore, but, bright young men! I am so blessed to be their mom!

Divine Mercy Shrine....

I love going to the Divine Mercy Shrine!!! I was just there about a month ago with friends from church!! I had never found the Grotto before this past visit, so that was nice! (I loved that path going down to it!) It's such a peaceful place!! Here are some pictures that I took that day!

(MC...I'm glad you like it there too!)

Today, I feel like dancing.....

I am very excited today! I plan on having a GRAND week! Steve is on vacation this whole week...Nick has Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday off.....AND.....Alex flies home tonight from Texas for 10 DAYS!!! We haven't seen Alex since January 12th. when he was home for Christmas!!! I can't express how happy I am to have all my guys home and everyone together for the next 10 days!!! I'm not sure what we'll end up doing...Steve mentioned maybe heading down state, to The Cloisters, outside of Manhatten. I REALLY think both Nick and Alex would enjoy it!

We'll see what happens!

YAY!!!!
