When I was helping a resident at work to transfer out of her wheelchair, she became exasperated and said, "I just hope I can do something with these KNEES one of these days." Did I mention she's also 101? I hope my knees make it to when I'm 50 some days. Really though, I love this woman. She reads every night from her magazines, writes, and is secretly pleased if you come in often to visit her. She has so much spunk.
I went to a parish to which I've never been, and there happened to be a Jesuit assigned to the parish, which is pretty unusual. Even more so that he had been there 15 years without being transferred. Well, at the end of Mass, he got up and announced that his provincial had just reassigned him and he would be leaving this summer. You could hear the audible gasps throughout the church...kinda funny, kinda awkward. I can't imagine how weird that must be for priests to tell their parish: Hey, it's been a great time and I'm so excited to be here for 15 years...by the way, I'm leaving!
Yup, awkward.
I'm going home this weekend! I'll be helping with a bridal shower. I'm super excited for it. We've done so much planning...I just hope it all goes smoothly. I'm actually getting ready to go buy and arrange the gifts for the winners of the games we're planning. Also this weekend, I'll also be transferring a bunch of my items from my room to the house I'll be staying in this summer (a house of girls at UMKC who are also involved with FOCUS...everything worked out for a housing situation!).
