Yes I know it has been a while since I have posted... I was super busy running the summer camp and the day after our program ended I went up to BCH camp in New Hampshire for a week, and the day after I got back from New Hampshire I left for the mission trip to El Salvador. I just got home from El Salvador very late on Wednesday night... so this is ( Read more... )

Ok so I know I have not posted here in a couple of months... I have been super busy... But I now must post because I am Uberexcited... I got back from leading a youth retreat on Sunday afternoon and I had waiting for me in my inbox what is quite possibly the greatest press release of all time... I am not exaggerating at all either... This is so ( Read more... )

I really love this time of year ( Read more... )

So it has been about a month since I have posted here. I have thought about posting often, but I have been super busy lately and much of my free time in recent days has been spent getting ready for the Sr. High retreat and now for the 3 Pre-Confirmation retreats in March. I am really looking forward to the pre-confirmation retreats this year and I ( Read more... )

The day we have eagerly anticipated is finally here! Although we would prefer to be hosting the AFC Championship here in Foxboro, Payton Manning has NEVER beaten the Patriots in the playoffs and that will not change today.

So it is a beautiful Sunday morning in early January in Foxboro and as has become the tradition here the past several years, this means the good town of Foxboro once again has the privilege of hosting a home Patriots playoff game. This morning I went to Stop & Shop to get a few things and the atmosphere was electric. It felt like homecoming in ( Read more... )

So I just realized it has been almost 2 months since I have last posted on this journal (which I think may be the longest I have gone between posts since I started blogging.) It has been a very busy couple of months, so busy in fact that although I do check in and read my friends posts a couple times each week, I just have not taken the time to ( Read more... )

I know I have not updated since I have returned from Texas (and it was a truly extraordinary trip that I will write about soon) but tonight there is something more important that I feel the need to write about ( Read more... )

So a friend just reminded me that it has been 8 weeks since I last posted... I knew it had been a while, but when I went back and looked I realized that I had not posted since camp started. LOTS has happened since then... far to much to write about most of it now. It was quite the summer. A lot of really amazing memories ( Read more... )

Summer will celebrate her first birthday later this month, and in her first year of life she sure has covered a lot of territory. Since I adopted her in September she has come to the United States, traveled to 7 different states, made a trip back to Canada, and this weekend she added Cape Cod to her travelogue. She really enjoyed her time on the ( Read more... )
