God never ceases to amaze me. He continually gives me signs to put my heart at peace and a smile on my face. Let me explain!   Mother Teresa has been my favorite saint for as long as I can remember. I own movies and books about her life, went on a mission trip to […]

Gabriella Regina, our precious, sweet baby girl, was born Wednesday, April 22, at 5:57a.m.! We have spent the past nine months eagerly anticipating her arrival, praying for her, dreaming of what she would be like and what God might have planned for her life.

My husband and I had been surprised with a trip […]

My apologies for the silence the last couple of months! Life has been so full of fun adventures so I figured I would give a quick update as to a couple of the recent highlights!   Last year after our Steubenville and Peru mission trip I was feeling this burning in my heart to look […]

Happy Easter! I love that it’s the end of May and still the Easter Season. We Catholics know how to party, celebrating the Resurrection for 50 days while only fasting in preparation for 40 days!
