When you refuse to pay for a clear photo but alway When you refuse to pay for a clear photo but always want the photo. 😂 

Had the best time at Dollywood this week. God delivered an actual dream Fall weather day & the word got out that we wanted short lines. There were virtually none one day! We always say there’s no tired like Dollywood tired & this is why. Heart full, step challenge achieved, adrenaline bug fed. 

Til next time! 🦋#dollywood

What a great day in Tiger Town! Family + friends + What a great day in Tiger Town! Family + friends + a sea of orange. Now we’re home to watch the game on our couch lol. Go Tigers! 🧡🐅🧡
Today, after work, the first thing I wanted to do Today, after work, the first thing I wanted to do was hug my nephews. We live on the same street and go to the same church with eight of them. Needless to say, John and I are very close to them. We naturally & intentionally spend a lot of time with them. 

When I heard the news this morning out of MN, my heart dropped. “My boys” were in Mass here in our town just an hour before those children were states away. I’ve had so many, many thoughts and feelings today.

After work, I wanted to go hug my boys and I wanted to go to Adoration. I got to hug most of them (one’s away at college) and then I considered not going to my favorite chapel because it was getting late. Thankfully, my SIL asked if I still wanted to go and I said yes. 

I knew before we went that it was right.

You can pray anywhere, it’s true. I can too. But as Catholics we have this beautiful, indescribable by any other words, GIFT of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. We believe that Jesus is truly present in Eucharist and adoration chapels have a monstrance (the metal sculpture that looks like a sunburst on a stick) with a consecrated Eucharistic host in it. 24/7 in some chapels!

Why does that matter?

It means I can pray at home, where I believe Jesus also is. He’s always with me, even when I ignore Him. 

Or I can go to an Adoration chapel & sit with Jesus in a whole different way. As if I’m physically sitting face-to-face with the man Himself. It’s hard to describe because our human minds truly can’t fully grasp it. But when you know, you know. Faith is that. Belief. Honestly, sometimes it’s physically hard for me to stare directly at the monstrance because I am so humiliated to be in His great presence. It’s Jesus! 

I’m glad I went tonight and I’m glad my SIL & MIL could go too. I prayed for the victims of today’s horrific tragedy and for their families. I prayed for our parish & school to remain a safe place free from harm. I prayed for peace amongst us all & especially amongst our leaders that have got to come together to help prevent the next one.

God bless you, friends. Praying for you always.

PS - see my stories for the Litany my SIL shared with me that we prayed tonight. 💔🙏🏼🕊️
Happy birthday to my Boo! ILYSM & I hope this is y Happy birthday to my Boo! ILYSM & I hope this is your best year yet! I’ve put in a request with the Almighty, so He’s on the job! 😘 Cheers to at least 16 more birthdays together! 🍻
