Good and Bad news
I have bad news and good news...
First, the bad news. I found out that Bishop Walter J. Schoenherr, who confirmed me, just passed away on Friday. Here is the article: http://www.aodonline.org/aodonline-sqlimages/PressReleaseStatements/AOD/070427BishopSchoenherrDies.pdf
He was an awesome person who was incredibly filled with God. I still remember his homily that he gave at my Confirmation. The archdiocese will miss his presence terribly! I suppose this could be considered good news as well, though, since he lived (and worked as a Bishop) until he was 87 and died of natural causes. He lived a long life of service to the Lord and the Church and touched many people's lives! He is now home with Jesus to rest for eternity! :D
The good news is that I'm back from Boston! I had an awesome time! For those of you on facebook, I will have pictures up soon! :) We did a TON of walking and subway riding, saw many historical buildings and sites, went to the aquarium, watched Erin and the Athens Orchestra perform, went on a trolley and a DUCW (aka "Duck" -- it's a World War II vehicle that goes on land and in water) tour around the city, toured Fenway Park (home of the Red Sox!), and tons more! It's definitely a great place to go for vacation, I recommend it!
Now that I'm back home, I have a TON of unpacking and organizing to do. I also need to go shopping and get some shorts that fit me, since the weather is finally warming up! I suppose I should start that now, so I bid you adeu and wish you a happy week! :D
