Birthday Blessings

HA HA HA... I love that picture!

So this weekend was my birthday!!!  It was a wonderful time to thank God for my MANY blessings.  Shaun had to work in the morning, but came back to me later to spend the day together.  We were able to just spend some time "relaxing" and hanging out with each other (what a gift for both of us)

We also took some time to visit LaSalette Shrine while we were in Attleboro as Shaun & I went to pray later in the day at the Attleboro abortion clinic (the last one in our diocese) to thank God for the GIFT of my life & to ask for blessings on all those who feel they have no hope... and also all those who feel the need to wave at us with just one finger. 

I looked over at him and was thinking how blessed I was to have someone to share my faith with & who will help me to grow in holiness as we walk hand in hand together through all our stumbles and falls.  I thought back upon all the times we'd seen each other praying over the last few years before we were "together".  Even then at least we were "together" in prayer. 

Over dinner we talked about how we would spend every birthday together from now on and I thought about how God had made us and known even at the moment of our conception that we would find each other over 30 years later.  I am so thankful for all my blessings and just thought I'd put them here.

...oh!  AaaaaND he bought me two beautiful new Pandora charms in my FAVORITE color (green).

They look like this:
