Well, School Starts Tomorrow...

and i'm trying to take my mind off of how unprepared i feel for this year to start but how i feel it needs to start to get my mind off of some other things so, i'm wasting time. yep, i'm so efficient. i should definitely teach a class on time management and how to maintain proper mental health while we're on a roll. but anywho, click on over and watch this little gem i found. i love this guy and i think this one might just be my favorite of his so far. enjoy!

A Beautiful Tribute

if you haven't yet, please stop in over at The Bonny Blue House and watch a beautiful tribute to the life of an even more beautiful young man.

A Deep Loss

It deeply saddens me to post that Ryan has drowned. Please surround this family with an outpouring of prayers. We pray for their entire family at the loss of this beautiful young man. May they know God's peace and deep love as they go through this time of great sorrow.

Urgent Prayer Request

Please pray for Mary Ellen Barrett's son Ryan who has been missing since 5pm last night while on a camping trip.

Dear Lord, we implore you to surround Ryan with your protection and bring him safely home to his family. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us! Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us!

Tomorrow Is The Big Day!!!

remember my friends i told you about some time ago? you know...the ones with the beautiful love story that unfortunately involved being deported and all that stuff? well, they are getting married tomorrow afternoon and i am so excited i can hardly contain myself. i'll post some pictures afterwards. i have know doubt that she is going to be one of the most beautiful brides ever. i am singing for their wedding and i just don't know how i'm going to get through it without being completely in tears. guess i should get them all out now. i did however buy a new dress (ok, actually two, i just couldn't choose) for the occasion. i was also extra thrilled to see i've lost two dress sizes since easter. yippee! that makes 5 or 6 dress sizes down since january. let's hope the trend continues. but anyway, i need to get to bed. tomorrow is going to be a rather long day and i want to make sure i have energy left to party it up!

Aaaw, How Cute!
