Weekend in Review
This weekend I was not productive at all. This isn't good because now I'm going to have a lot to work on over Thanksgiving. Friday I went to Crimson Circle's Date Night with Kevin. That was fun and how could anyone not enjoy delicious C&O's. Then Saturday I spent the majority of the afternoon and early evening with Jennae in UCLA. We ate frozen yogurt (not quite comparable to Golden Spoon, but it sufficed). Then after a really good talk while eating yogurt we decided to go shopping at Urban Outfitters. Very bad idea, I bought half the store (well not quite...but it felt like it). Haha. I need to realize that my birthday is comming up and stop spending money. After hanging out with Jennae, I came back to campus and went to watch Rachel in an Musical Event. She played a trio and duet piece - both of which were absolutly beautiful. She is a violinist and it really put me so much at peace. Then afterwards David and I went to see Pride and Prejudice. I really really enjoyed the movie - I thought it was fabulous in all aspects of the film. I highly recommend it! Then after talking until late hours in the night I finally went to bed. Today was interesting - not quite sure how else to explain it. However, thank God for Kelsey. It's her birthday tomorrow and so I went home with her and celebrated her birthday with her entire family. It was really nice to get away from LMU and I was excited for a home cooked meal. Then after lunch we went and saw these Christmas tree's her mom decorated for an auction - it was really pretty and got me in the Christmas spirit. Then we drove back to LMU and got ready for our Belles Thanksgiving Dinner. Unfortunately I could only stay for about twenty minutes, but it was still nice to see all those girls. Then I left to set up for mass. I'm hoping tomorrow isn't depressing. I'm just having faith and praying my gut is wrong. Unfortunately, I'm a very intuitive person, so we shall see...
O God, whom we obey in honoring our parents,
look down mercifully, I beseech you, on those
to whom in your providence I owe my being.
May they grow daily in faith, hope, and charity.
Implant deeply in their hearts the conviction
that as you are the beginning of all things
so to you must all return.
Condone their frailties,
pardon whatever excessive indulgence for me
they may have shown,
and impute not to them my waywardness,
my sloth, my weakness of will.
Grant them health and prosperity while life lasts,
pour upon them the abundance of your grace.
Defend and preserve them by your all-powerful hand.
May my Christian life,
in meeting their fondest expectations
and fulfilling their hopes,
be the consolation of their last years.
May they die the death of the just.
May they pass quickly to their heavenly home,
and may I join them there,
their dutiful child for all eternity. Amen.
Have a wonderful short week everyone and a Happy Thanksgiving! God bless!
