I forgot to copy and paste what he was the patron of before I deleted the page.

One of the things he is patron saint of, is young people.

Spiritual Matters

In 2019 I've been pretty good about going to Mass twice a week, except when I was sick. I think I will move it to three times now.

Spiritual Reading everyday.

I think that will be a start. I'm really bad about getting my Spiritual reading in.

Writing

I'm going to write or edit for at least five minutes each day. I've owed some of my friends and siblings books for at least two years now. Yes, I've gotten really slow since I started working full time.

Work.

School, CCD, and Nannying.

Same as last year.

I guess that's all for now.

2019 Update part 3

And another post

The day after getting back from New York, I had to go up North for Girls' Camp. It was my third year as a counselor. My mom drove me, and we stopped at Red Robin for lunch.

I was on Brown team again.

The Day after Girls' Camp ended, I went with Galadriel to meet Celeborn's family.

They took us to Little Log Cabin (I think that was name of it)

They had everything there.

They even had a chapel.

Oh look John Wayne and I are wanted dead or alive.

Celeborn's family goes to a beautiful Church.

My mom was baptized at this Cathedral.

Lego modal of the Cathedral.

I went home feeling like a made a lot of new friends.

A couple weeks later we went back to visit Celeborn's family. This time we went to a zoo.

It was the best zoo ever.

I think there were raccoons and foxes in this exhibit.

You could get right up in the bear's den. There was glass between the people and the bear, though.

Eel stew anyone?

Porcupine show.

Reindeer are better than people.

My mom used to live here.

I love waterfalls.

Galadriel and Celeborn climbed to the bottom. It was to muddy for me.

I really like these bridges for some reason.

This year the Sursum Corda retreat was in Wisconsin.

A lot of walking was involved.

Sam and Belladona.

The girls' dorm had a pingpong table in it. I think we spent more time hunting for the balls, than actually hitting them.

I didn't get a lot of pictures this year, sadly.

This is our group that went.

We did a family photoshoot one Sunday.

The Grouchy Photographer took most of them.

Some of the young adults in our area went to Natural Bridge State Park.

I went on a hike with the Wausau Sursum Corda group.

It was a long way down from the top of the tower. I don't have a group picture.

The family I nanny for needed there chalkboard done, so my sisters and I did it.

I did the rocks and fire.

Believe it or not, but I never took a finished picture.

An attempt to draw one of the kids I babysit.

Some friends came over, one Sunday, and we played the Catholic Card Game. It was fun.

I started painting some Nativity Peg Dolls.

Cooking.

This ends part 3
