Hello my LOVES!
This past weekend had some very exciting, and sometimes curious events involved. Let me elaborate.
On Friday I attend Eucharistic Adoration and the first Santo Nino novena mass (official feast is next Saturday the 15th), at my parish. It was a beautiful event, and I don't think I have seen so much beautiful dedication, as the Filipino community has brought to The Shrine. I somehow fell into the role of hospitality minister! I saw that the Sacristan (who is new) had placed the programs on the wrong table---I was on my way out to the vestibule when the Minister of Worship said "Oh, Thank You Crystal, we really need someone here tonight"-- I just went with it. One of the families volunteered their daughter to help out--she was amazing, started talking to me about the weather and what she was doing in school. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE KIDS?
After mass I headed out to dinner with a few friends and then we went to a karaoke bar! My friends signed me up for a few songs---which I still haven't paid them back for! They figured I must start getting my vices out so I sang Britney Spears, Madonna, and Dixie Chicks---granted I don't really listen to any of those artists on a regular basis! It was an over all beautiful and quiet evening. Enjoyable.
Saturday I spent the majority of the day cleaning and re-organizing. I am starting to whittle down my life, to 2 "maybe" boxes (in case something were to happen and I had to leave Panhandle (Heaven Forbid!)). I thought that this would be an easy task but alas NOT. I was bagging up books, stuffed animals, and clothes. I explained most of what happened in the post just before this one, so I don't feel the need to describe it all again.
Here is a picture I found online of the porcelain doll I was talking about---something very special just happened. The sight I went onto to get the picture had "Memory" for CATS playing as the background music--This was/is our song! My Grandmother and I, that is.
Saturday evening my family took me out to dinner for my BIRTHDAY and to celebrate my acceptance. Avery nice night indeed.
