Anniversary Week

20 years as of October 5th.  Wow...we had a week long celebration.  Tuesday night we went to 5.00 movie night.  I took Friday off and we went to breakfast and hung out together and then Saturday night we went out for a quick bite to eat.  It is possible that Bob will get a job as of Monday.  Putting it in writing is like jinxing it, but I have to say that the last two years of him not working has been trying at times, but truly brought us closer together.  I thank God for the last two years; I thank God for Bob and I thank God for (hopefully) finding Bob a job at a place that does mailings for Catholic Diocese throughout the country.  I also thank Bob for hanging in there with me through so many ups and downs in the last 20 years.  We both bring our strengths and weaknesses to the relationship, but he honestly saw my strengths much more than he saw my weaknesses.  Love ya Bob-thanks for a great week and a great life.

A call

I went to mass last week to be a Eucharistic Minister.  The lectors did not show up (and there was only one other EM with me), so I offered to read.  I told Father I had been a lector years ago.  So in the back of the church, I practiced real quick before I went up.  I guess when God calls....we answer.....and it was really fun to do it again.  So....if women can do all that in one mass, why is it they can't be deacons or priests?  I guess that is yet to come.

"Barn" is open

Obviously Spring has Sprung....the last two weekends Brendan has had friends sleep over above the garage - the barn.  This weekend Brendan is having friends over from school, above the garage...."Dad, these are big guys who will  help set up the pool table."  A 600+ lb pool table). Katie has plans to have friends  sleep over on Saturday and Bob has planned a pizza party for Connor's basketball team on Saturday, above the garage....I think I should start charging a fee for this place!  It's like having a glorified tree house to hang out in.

The feeling of reading a good book

I just listed a new book in my book section, Handle with Care , by Jodi Picoult. It was a long read, and it took me awhile to get into it, but that was more me than the book. It is very well written and the story is incredible. The reason I am blogging about it - I realized yesterday, as I went through like at least 200 pages, every minute I could pick the book up, that a good book is like a friend....once you get into it, you feel like you are a part of it and you have to know the outcome of what is going to happen to those characters who have grown on you. The power of a good book is amazing-when you can't put it down for anything.....unless your four year old says, "Mommy, I want attention." (Even then, guilt ridden, Irish CAtholic that I am....I thought..."I already gave you attention today in many ways....this is my time." Wow-a good book almost succeeding at overcoming the power of my guilt-amazing.)
