Hey girls!

It's been awhile since I have written on here, and I'm in Cincinnati right now, but I thought I would quickly post.

As most of you know, my grandfather passed away last Monday morning. He was diagnosed with lung cancer last July and had a brain tumor which was removed, was doing better in January, then got a new tumor at the end of January and a third in March. My mom was in Cincinnati when he passed and has been here all week. I just got here. The funeral is Monday morning. Needless to say, it's been a stressful, rough week. If you are interested, here is the link to his obituary: http://www.tuftsschildmeyer.com/Obituaries/obit-display.jhtml?DB=obits&DO=display&ID=1239196585_23851 Prayers would be appreciated, especially for my mom, her siblings and my grandmother, as well as for my grandfather. Thank you for all the well-wishes and support you all have been offering thus far. :)

That's the biggest thing right now. I went to Florida over spring break to visit chelsea, which was very nice. Andrea and I were able to go to Magic Kingdom one day with her parents as well, which was uber-fun :). School is going pretty well. The kids are finally starting to act like first graders!! Yay!! Lifeteen retreat is coming up in two weeks. I'm doing a teaching and directing a skit amoung the other odds and ends of the session...it's fun, but has been stressful with everything else going on. Also, I am seriously discerning getting my masters in theology from Notre Dame. I'm pretty much in, it's just a matter being completely sure i'm doing it and officially applying to the diocese and Notre Dame. I'm excited about the idea though and may do summer school for three weeks up at ND this summer.

I think that's my life in a nutshell! Again, all prayers would be appreciated and thanks again for all the messages!!

Much love and God bless!
