A Belated Happy New Year!

And an early Happy Epiphany, to all of my readers!!

I apologise once again for being so remiss with the blog. The Christmas season is a very busy one in my family, with lots of visiting and cooking and parties and Masses, etc., etc..


Some of the highlights of this Christmas Season included:

1. A visit from all of my aunts and cousins-- it was the first time in years that we've all been together for the holidays! 20-some people in one house= FUN! :)

2. Successfully hosting a party on New Years' Day and getting to meet Fr. Braveheart's parents, who were in from Scotland for Christmas. They were lovely people and livened up the party considerably!

3. Getting to sing for the Bishop when he visited our parish Christmas Dinner. It's the first time the Bishop of our diocese has ever taken part in any of our festivities, despite the parish having been around for 15 years. He was really wonderful and seemed to have a great time! Word on the street is that he wants to come back for a Pontifical High Mass in the Extraordinary Form!!! (And he also complimented me on my solo, which earned him major brownie points! ;) Haha.)


I'll be writing about some of the other things I've been up to soon-ish, as well, so look for those new posts in the near future. I'm sorry again for neglecting the blog so much, but besides being busy I haven't been in much of a writing mood.

To be honest, for a few days I've been kinda blue, as well. I'm suspecting it's just due to the fact that I'm getting a little bored on break, and I'm hoping that getting back to classes next week will cure me of my melancholy. I mean, really, when I think about it, I don't have much to be blue about. I've been incredibly blessed this past year, despite some of the difficulties, and so far 2011 has been pretty good. I think I also need to seek out some serious spiritual consolation as well... I've been a bit remiss with my daily Rosary amidst all the hustle and bustle, and I suspect that may also be contributing.

Anyway, here's wishing you and yours a Blessed Feast of the Epiphany!
