My birthday was earlier this week! C made it special by cooking his delicious stuffed shells for me and getting ice cream. He also got me a gift I'm super excited about, but it will take a couple of more weeks to get here. A microscope! And petri dishes! I can't wait to get photos … Continue reading Birthday!

A Lovely Sunday

There are so many celebrations of different biblical things and saints in the Catholic Church that you have some special observance rather regularly. I feel a little overwhelmed and yet happy.

Catholicism and Contraception
I have been exploring Catholicism for awhile now. I collect rosaries, and some Catholic teachings really appeal to me, so it makes sense to explore. One I get caught up on though, is the Catholic requirement to be "open to life" - to not use any form of contraception, and be willing to have more … Continue reading Catholicism and Contraception
