Mama's Birthday

... so happy birthday, Mama!  Last night, G-pa brought me back to the northern suburbs, and in the morning shuttled me to the Meuer house to surprise Mama at her birthday breakfast (which was cutely choreographed, thanks to Manda; great job, party planner!).  A huge thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for dinner last night and driving me all around!

Also: this week, flowers started blooming in our yard:

 They were such a beautiful rainy day treat. :)

Other excitement of the week: on Thursday, Campus Ministry hosted an event called NightFEVER -- students went out in teams of two and invited everyone we met to come to the Chapel, light a candle, and pray for peace in the world (or whatever personal intentions they might have) in front of the Blessed Sacrament.  It was quite a Holy-Spirit-filled night!

The rest of the time, I've basically been doing homework and making music -- so not a bad life. :)  Hope that you are all having a good, refreshing weekend!
