Kickin' off the weekend!

Ahhh...smell that? Let it soak in. It's the weekend!

Last night we kicked off the weekend here by going to Beyond Words, which Rockhurst Res Life put on, which drew attention to the cycle of oppression and discrimination in our society. Then we went to the tailgate that the Student Athletes hosted (I won a t-shirt...that's two sizes too big. Oh well, a new addition to the pajama collection lol). After that we returned to our house for a spur of the moment dance party. We even dressed up and took pictures ;-)


Then I went on over to the FOCUS missionaries' house to hear a talk by Dr. Kasia Szymanek. She's a DO in residency and is knowledgeable in the Creighton method of NFP. She talked to a group of us women about natural hormone balance and about NAPRO as opposed to In-Vitro. It's so surprising how much you DON'T know about your own natural body processes until somebody explains it to you in such a context. I definitely learned more about charting and about what is involved in NAPRO.

This morning a group of us went to pray at Planned Parenthood, and now I'm waging the homework battle ;-). Thanks for dropping in everybody!

  1. Um, do you ever sleep?

    NFP NFP NFP! I could go on and on and on. As amazing as you think it is now, as someone who is married I can guarantee you you will think it is even more amazing. Such a beautiful way to know your body and communicate with your spouse. Can you tell I'm kinda a fan? Glad you're able to learn so much about it already. I am always so saddened by 1.) the number of Catholics statistically who contracept, and 2.) the number of Catholics who think IVF and other similar procedures are A-OK.

    Anyways, hope the rest of your weekend is great!!

    BLESSINGS!
