As if we don't have enough going on...graduation, Match Day, weddings, becoming aunts and uncles...Michael has decided to join the Catholic faith. During Lent, he is going to his RCIA classes, and will be confirmed Easter weekend. Today he had a small ceremony at Mass celebrating his Rites. I am so excited and am looking forward to both of us growing stronger in the Catholic faith together.
Match Day is 25 days away....so ready for it to be here! As we anxiously await, Michael has decided to keep himself busy with scuba lessons so he can become scuba certified for when we go to Singapore and Thailand in April to visit his parents. Also in April, my brother is getting married and in May, Michaels brother and wife are expecting their first baby! Busy busy spring!

One month!
We are officially one month until Match Day! So close! We had a wonderful weekend skiing in Okemo, VT with Hilary and Adam. I've attached a few pictures! Luckily, Adam and Michael are on the same ski level and so are Hilary and I...so it made for the perfect ski partner day! The guys had loads of fun! Valentines Day was fun too and of course Mardi Gras! We received a yummy King Cake from Haydels Bakery in New Orleans and it was delicious!
One of my good friends, Elizabeth, gave me the best idea 2 years ago. She made her husband a calendar to count down to Match Day..almost like an Advent calendar. I've been thinking about this for 2 years now and the time has come to make it! I gave it to Michael last week! I've attached a picture of him holding it...mind you I'm not that great with arts and crafts! But each day has a saying, either a bible verse or pictures of where we could possibly be. So every morning open each day together!

Winding down the interviews....and Who Dat?!?
Who Dat?! I am SO excited to see my Saints FINALLY win a Super Bowl...and what a great game!!! I just love Drew Brees :)
Michael is officially done with interviews...wahoo!! He is heading back to the cold weather now. Last weekend, I went down to Nashville with him...what a fun city! We stayed with our good friend Allison and had a great weekend. Funny thing, Nashville got slammed with snow! And they don't know what to do with all the snow so things were shut down! But it was so fun to play in it! I've attached some pictures of Allison and me in the snow.
As for the interviews, thank goodness they are done! Match Day is quickly approaching! There are very few things in life that are TRUE surprises, and I have to say Match Day is one of them. I didn't think about it like that, but I am excited to see what God has in store for us the next 5 years!!
Keep you posted!
