Happy 18th Birthday, Brandon!

I am officially the mother of an adult child! Brandon is 18 today. It doesn't seem possible. Happy Birthday, Brandon! I am so proud of the man you have become. I love you. (Can someone hand me a tissue, please?)

Tough Game

St. Richard Crusaders suffered a tough loss today. They played so hard! ...and almost came back to win.

THANKS!!!

We all have our little "bumps in the road", don't we? Recently, I have dealt with my "bump in the road" in the form of a medical issue. I want to say that people have been so good to me. I have the absolute best family, friends, and co-workers. Thanks to everyone for being so good to me. I have been shown lots of love and concern. I am truly grateful.

13th Annual Lifeteen Spaghetti Dinner

Each year Lifeteen (our youth group at St. Richard) hosts a spaghetti dinner as a fundraiser. Money raised helps fund things like their trip to Appalacia, where they help people in need with home repairs. The Lucarelli's do a lot of work on this, and its their recipe! It's a wonderful dinner to help fund our youth ministry! As usual, the food was great. We enjoyed good company. And I met a neighbor I hadn't met before.

Wrestling at Lake Invite

Luc had a much better day of wrestling today than last week! And, well, it helps when you get to wrestle in your own weight class. Good job, Luc!

Close Game!

St. Richard won their CYO Basketball game today. It was a really good and close game....the whole game! Way to go, Crusaders!

I hate wrestling!!!

....but I go and watch anyway to support Luc, who loves to wrestle. Here is a picture of him wrestling at the Evergreen High School Wrestling Invite.
