not only catholic...but a home owner too!




so we did it! we have a house! it was the one i was speakin of in my last post! we are all moved and settling in-- we absolutley love it and truly couldnt be happier!! it feels SO nice to have our own space, a real home of our own!

this past weekend was Easter-- yup, thats right, im officially catholic! :) Easter vigil was long, but awesome! The Fideros,Soignets,Rickels,Browns,and Bakers were all here! we had an awesome weekend full of family! Friday we all went to mass together, and Saturday i got up and went to shoot claire's pregnancy pictures with her,nick,and her parents--my awesome photographer cousin Christina did them and they turned out so awesome! Then claire and i went to lunch and a peddicure with her dad! (now THAT was a girls day ill never forget!)-- little did she know i was distracting her from the suprise baby shower we had planned with all the girls, at The Chocolate Pink Cafe in ATL! the others told her to keep ME busy cause they had stuff planned for me, we threw her off pretty well--she was suprised! then we all had dinner and got ready for Easter Vigil!

Aunt Mary gave me a BEAUTIFUL rosary she had made for me out of my wedding flowers, so so special and no doubt something i will keep forever! MIL gave me a big,white, beautiful Family Record Bible and is having my name put on it, Aunt becky and Aunt kelly got us a Mary statue for our garden, Brittany gave me a rosary and one for my car mirror,Lilliana gave me a junebug charm for my brighton bracelet :) , my mom gave me a pretty hankie with my initials and the date embroidered in it, and christina gave me a card! (joey claims he gave me a house for easter/my first communion haha!)im so lucky to have such supportive friends and family :)

the weekend was busy but too short for me, its always so nice seeing everyone altogether, and i cant wait for the next time whenever that is!

the house, and Easter are the two major things thats happened since the last time i posted. since then its just been packing,moving,unpacking and just trying to settle in! things are starting to slow down which is SO nice!
