"Our belongings should not bog us down and make slaves of us. We should be surrounded with beauty, with things reminding us we are God's children."

My daily Catholic email has done it again!! Another great one, and just when I needed to be reminded that stuff is just stuff. Last night I was missing my own bed and tv. This morning, I was worrying about getting all my stuff on the plane and to our new house. But it is just stuff!

I officially attended my last PWOC this morning. Not as horrible as I thought it would be. Just a normal PWOC morning, really. I honestly don't feel like I said goodbye to anyone. That sucks a little. But it is also kind of nice!

After PWOC, I went to lunch with a few amazing ladies, the executive board that I have been serving with. I am going to miss our time together. These women have been so amazing in the last year. I really feel like we have helped one another through a lot. And I didn't say 'goodbye', just 'see you later'.

And, my daughters are so amazing. They are so darn cute! P asked J tonight, "Daddy, what color are my blue eyes?" How cute is she! She knows her eyes are blue. The girls recently discovered eye color. So, we ask them on a regulaar babis what color their eyes are. P just asked and gave the answer all at once!

And when we were at BK for dinner (yuck, by the way) a guy was standing near our table waiting for his food. K saw him and said, in her bossy voice, "Hey! This my table!" Seriously! I told her we do not talk to strangers that way. And then she started to cry! I really think she just totally forgot herself for a second, and when she realized what she had done she got embarrassed. But it was pretty funny for me!

Ok, off to read my awesome new book, "Rediscover Catholicism" by Matthew Kelly. I started it last night, and am impressed with the first couple chapters.
