Happy Feet (& August begins...)

In just 3 short hours!  Unbelievable that August 1st is right now and I can hardly believe it!


Although time may seem to fly by - I did just watch Happy Feet for the first time.  I know what you're thinking, "Welcome to 2012 Katie - Happy Feet's been out on DVD now for just a little under six years.  You been living under a rock?"  WELL, I haven't been, but I am glad I watched - pretty much just in time for the second one to come out, although I probably have about 6 years until I'm due to watch it!  HA HA!

Another movie I want to watch (that I haven't seen) is:


I'm not even sure what this movie is actually about...although it's been out for 2 years, so maybe 2016 would be a good time for me to watch it!  But seriously, hopefully this Friday night will be a good time for MG and I to watch.  Not on Netflix and not in RedBox...so might need to rent it on amazon instant.

Finally, after a grueling day with the Missionaries of Charity, 120 little kids, 10 youth/young adults, at the pool and their house, I am READY for bed!  I even started the day at 6:30 this morning with a RUN at the gym!  I'm on the 2nd day of the 2nd week of my 5K training!  It's getting so hard...I hope that it gets a little easier as the week and weeks go on.  Tomorrow I'll be there again in the AM before working in the office, hanging with the sisters & the children, then middle school youth group!  WHAT a day already!

Two Quotes to leave you with:

* Your Christianity is measured by how well you love the people who can't stand you. (Luke 6:32)


* Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.  Corrie ten Boom

I Look Into my Inbox and What Did I See?

I receive the weekly notes from the Catholic Match Institute since my unsuccessful dabble in Online Dating some time ago ( link ) and today's included the face of one of my favorite priests. A man who helped me become the Catholic woman, for better or worse, that I am today. He is doing a series of five videos for CM through Advent. The first two are below ... I encourage you to watch them and stay tuned for the next three! Fr. Ananias, OSB - what an Advent treat!

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 out o

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
