All the seniors on the retreat: Every year at the Lenten Retreat there is a talent show, and I’ve never done anything for it. (Hey my main two talents are photography and watercolor, both of which you can’t exactly show off in a talent show). But since this was our last year, one of my […]

I guess it’s a part of growing up, but time seems to slip by at an astonishing rate. This past year was no exception. It was a good year, a very good year. I thought of several different end-of-year review posts, including doing what I did last year. In the end I decided to go […]

I have an end of year post coming up, but for my last post of 2012 I’m sharing about our not-so-normal Christmas. It was one of those Christmas’s that in a few years – heck – probably even next year, we’ll remember and laugh about. We’ll laugh about the fact that two days before Christmas, […]
