7 Quick Takes - May 4th




And May begins!

--- 1 ---

PF - either the most joyful or the saddest time of the day!
Fitness: Finally a great week at the gym - cardio, weights, and abs 3 full days ... maybe finally on track to start loosing again!

The Fabulous STA Group!
Work: Last weekend we were away at our annual Diocesan Youth Conference.  Even thought we had just a few kids attend, it was a great time to connect with teens and work on relational ministry.

DYC Benediction
Prayer: Trying to connect with the Lord more, but struggling with distractions all the time.  Need some quiet time today - I am resolved to take at least 1 hour in quiet at Adoration today!

Personal: Ashelyn (the girl I drive to school in the AM) asks me the other day (after seeing my bridesmaid's dress in the car last week) if I'm on match.com or eharmony.com.  Goodness Gracious!  She said she always asked her mom that when she was single!

Charlotte, NC
Friends: Since Aaron (my HS Youth Minister) was here to visit last week and I had no idea where to take him, I was inspired to explore our city more.  So the ladies were brought into the mix and we're taking our first adventure tomorrow night to NoDa's Cabo Fish Taco.  I've heard amazing things - so we'll see how it goes.  Plus, it's always good for a girls night!

Dan & Kyle
Youth Ministry: Picking up Dan & Kyle at the airport tomorrow for our big concert on Sunday!  Can't even believe we've only been planning this for 10 weeks!  Last night we put out the chairs - 150 metal chairs from upstairs in the Family Life Center, 80 padded chairs from Aquinas Hall, and 50 pre-school chairs ... LOTS of chairs in front of our crazy living room scene!  Hopefully there are enough people to fill all of the seats!

Buddy the Cake BOSS!
The Dragon 


Fun TV: I've been addicted to Buddy on Cake Boss this week!  He does shout a LOT, but the woman I can't stand is Mary - she is SO rude.  She had them paint the guy section of the bakery PINK and is right now recording over his dragon letters.  The men recorded baking terms for the 26 letters (CUTE since it's a bakery and the cake is going to talk) - and she's making it into 'girlie' things...not good for the little kids who the audience actually is!  I could reach in a SCREAM at her!

NAS: A Day in the Life

It's 2015 and Tuesday so that means that we are back at the Not Alone Series !  A huge thanks to Jen and Morgan for hosting and for helping all of us ladies gather together to remember that we aren't broken, we aren't alone, and we are loved by God. Let's get back in the swing by sharing what our typical day is like! Tell us however you like, minute by minute or a blurb about your day! Be sure to answer these questions:  - What is your favorite part of your day? - What is your least favorite part of your day? - Are you making any changes to your daily routine now that the new year has begun? Well my typical day use to be not so typical, but then I took a huge leap and got a new job that is a lot eaiser to have a routine that is pretty set.  I am someone who loves routine, I crave stability, and although I can make changes into my routine, they have to be determined by me to stick.  So a typical day? I set my alarm to go off at 6:46am, I get ou...

NAS: Travel

How do you travel as a single lady?! Any tips or tricks you'd like to share? Do you have anything fun planned for this year? Multiple times per week when I'm brushing my teeth in the morning I think about how boring my life is, how I never go anywhere. To be honest that is a complete and utter lie. I mean between July 2013 and March 2014, I hung out on four different continents - let along the time I spent traveling around the U.S. to Denver, New York City, Savannah, Orlando, and my parent's place. I'm the girl who bought a plane ticket to Africa and went into the bush all alone. (it's a great story ) Let me type that again - I went to the Congo, alone! I still can't even believe that I did that - it's the craziest thing ever ... but the most amazing experience of my life. So my off the cuff tips for traveling alone, they aren't super original, so be prepared to be underwhelmed! If you want to go somewhere, just do it - buy the ti...

NAS: The Rosary & The Single Life

October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, so we wanted to honor Mary and reflect on her help during this time of singleness. How have you called on her intercession before? What is your relationship with our Blessed Mother like? If you don't know much about Mary or the Rosary, is there something keeping you from getting to know her? There are two things that keep me sane as a single lady.  One of them is the rosary and the other is this: So I try to stick with the Rosary on most days!  And today is a special feast for Our Lady of the Rosary  so it's great that Morgan and Jen chose October 7th to talk about it!   A few years ago I was in a Women's Bible study and Immaculee  came to speak in Charlotte at our Eucharistic Congress.  A woman who I was very good friends with was with me and a few other ladies at lunch at the best Chinese Restaurant in Huntersville!  She asked me if I was praying the Rosary for my husband.  I said, ...
