quick takes (12)

...in which I give you a [not so] rare peek into the life of moi

[1]

Not much upsets me. In truth, I'm a pretty easy-going person and I can let things roll off of my shoulders.

Usually.

But having an interview/debate published IN THE UNIVERSITY PAPER without my consent irked me slightly.

Read if you must.

NOBAMA.

I'm honestly worried for our country and the liberties we hold so dear to our hearts...but yet have hope that the courts will rule in the Church's favor on the Religious Liberty issue.

Also, it's nice to be able to concentrate on things other than the election once again.

Today is a sad day...my parents are taking our beloved dog to be put down this evening.

Murphy's been such a loving, sweet, and honestly, perfect dog and he will be dearly missed.

I keep watching this video and am getting suuuper pumped to go to the 2013 SFLA Conference.

yayyy babies!

This week has gone by surprisingly fast, but I was able to make it out with some of my favorite ladies on Wednesday night to an Irish pub with live Gaelic music. What a blast! Good beer, good music, and cute old women staying out wayyyy past their bedtimes ;)

Also, Grandma, there were a couple of accordion players there, and I thought of you :)

I don't know if Veronica will ever post about this, but I just have to share this picture.

Apparently, Anne (pictured) needed to be labelled with permanent marker by her older sister.

Hilarious.

And finally, I have a prayer request.

I got a call yesterday afternoon from my chaplain at ISU about the need for pregnancy resources for a couple out in BloNo. They're students and she is 6 weeks pregnant...her parents are pressuring her into having an abortion this weekend (at home) and despite both the girl and her boyfriend's desire to not have an abortion, the young woman feels that she has no other options.

Please join me in praying that everyone involved is spared the heartache and pain of abortion!

St. Gianna Molla, pray for us!

Have a fab weekend! I'll be in Peoria for our banquet...check out Jen for some more quickies!
