please pray

Hello fellow bloggers.

I am asking your prayers for a stranger that I have been asked to pray for. His name is Paul Fidero and he was in a really bad car accident on Sunday.

He is in a coma at the hospital and his family has been praying for him and posting information in thier blog.

Please pray for Paul!

Thank you and God bless.

my poor, cold little nose

Since gas prices are going to be high this year, my dad has decided that we are going to have to heat on just low enough to sustain life.

Ok...so it's not that bad, but he has it set at 64 degrees. I have been wearing a coat all throughout the house for the past few days, but it's still pretty cold in here.

At least when I get my apartment (heat paid) I can keep the thermostat up around 75 degrees...a nice comfortable temperature.

:)

I suppose I'll live.

sifting

So Kim and I finally found an apartment! It is so HUGE! A 2-bedroom is at least 1,000 sq.ft. and a 3-bedroom is at least 1,300 sq.ft. AND if we got the 2-bedroom, our rent would only be about $300/month at most. If our friend Meggan decides to move in with us too and we get the 3-bedroom, our rent would only be about $250/month at most. I am so excited!

And I also got a sifter yesterday! So I decided to bake some loaf cake in celebration of my new sifter/finding a place to live!

I'm really excited to be growing up and becoming more independant!

Now all I need is a bed!

Anyone have an extra laying around?

special birthday

Yesterday was a very special day at my house: Heidi's birthday.

Yes...Heidi is the dog - and quite an adorably spastic one, as you can see from the photo!

I don't know how old she is, but I think she's about eight or nine by now. We got her when she was somewhere between one and three years old from an no-kill shelter. The first time my mom went to look at her, Heidi jumped up on her, knocked her down, peed on the floor, and then went over to lick some kittens. :)

Oh my silly puppy!

We knew then, though I don't know why from our first impression, that Heidi was to be a permanent part of our family!

Yesterday my mom and I were at Target and we got her one of those rope bones for $1 as a birthday prize. She really loves it! It's so funny!

She's so sweet!

So happy 8th or so birthday, sweet puppy!

white wedding

Saturday, November 12, 2005.

For the past two years, I always pictured that this would be the day I was going to get married. But I'm definately not married now, nor am I getting married anytime soon.

Isn't it funny what we think is so certain only to realize later it was not to be at all?

trick-or-treat

Here is a picture of my favorite little family in the world! (Well, two of them are missing, but here are some of them.) The little bunny is my Goddaughter, Cecilia! She is one year old now! How big she had gotten. :) They live about a mile away but drove over so I could see their costumes.

If I ever get married and have a family, I want it to be like theirs. They are all so lovely to each other and they're very Catholic!

Jesus, thank you for this wonderful family! May all families model Your Holy Family as this one does!

important national holiday

In case you haven't heard:

TODAY, yes, TODAY, friends is

NATIONAL EDWARD ALONZO'S 25TH BIRTHDAY DAY!

-

Have some cake, Edward!

Post offices all over the country will be closed, schools will be taking holiday, and, no, the garbage men will not be stopping by today.

So take a moment to say hello to our friend! Post a freindly comment on his blog or visit his website or bid on his EBay item! Make his day, because he deserves it! (Also you should go to the ebay item and read it anyway because it is HILLARIOUS!)

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY EDWARD ALONZO! Our nation loves you and is proud to honor you this day!

May God bless you abundantly on this, your special day!

good friend

Today has been a good day as my friend, Saint Faustina, has helped me to meditate on Jesus all day!

Thanks Faustina!

best dad ever

So I came home tonight to find this note stuck to a can of green beans:

Isn't my dad sweet? He gets so concerned about me because I do not have time to eat dinner on Wednesdays until 9:00pm. He is at Bible study with my mom, so they can't have dinner waiting for me, which I wouldn't expect, but my dad always makes sure there is something for me to eat.

He even barbequed the chicken in the morning in case I had time to come home for dinner on my way from work to school.

He's such a wonderful man - so good to me!!

Jesus, thank you for my Dad!

really excited!

I am so excited because I have been looking for the Shaded Red cd called Red Revolution for about five years now! They are a Christian band of four brothers and one of them was killed in a car accident, so they stopped being a band and stopped selling their cds. It's really sad.

But they are really great and their cd now costs about $45 if you can even find it. BUT last night I found it for $4.99 in an ebay store, which is "buy it now" so I had no bidding competition! I am so excited!

Jesus, thank you for letting me find this cd. I pray that you would bless the men who used to be in Shaded Red, especially the brother who died. May he rest eternally with You in Heaven!
