Thank God it's St. Therese's feast day, that way I can offer all up so she can pray for us.<br />Yesterday, we got back from a long weekend in Monterrey visiting family and friends. We had a great time and we ate...we ate a lot.<br />Today I have 4 loads of laundry, an empty refrigerator, a one hour work out at the gym, 8 e-mails that need my answer today, 3 papers due this week, a meal to cook so I don't complain after I get out of class at 9 PM because there is nothing to eat, and lots of reading to do...lots!<br />Yay! here we go (I'm trying to be positive). I'll post some pictures from our trip later...right know there is no time, you can imagine why.<br />Have a great feast of the <a href="http://www.ewtn.com/therese/therese1.htm">Little Flower</a>, may we imitate her "little way".Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35721792.post-21021858344654911552007-09-20T14:17:00.000-06:002007-09-20T14:32:21.665-06:00Smells and tastes like AutumnApparently I am no the only person in the world who gets excited when September comes.

Life is SO much better without it.<br />For the first time, I took two classes during the summer and it was definitely more difficult than what I expected. But if I want to graduate on time, I have to take summer...and I DO want to graduate as soon as possible.<br />I have two weeks before I start fall semester and I plan to enjoy them!<br />So today, I'm happily sitting down on the couch listening to the washing machine do its job. And I'm thanking God for "super load" options on washing machines.

It brought me back to a moment in my life were I was dreaming about the person to whom I would give my heart to. I could only imagine finally meeting him and experiencing such great joy!<br /><br />With the help of my friend google, I found the song. This is a part of the lyrics:<br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;">God Must of Spent A little More Time on You- N'sync<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Your love is like a river</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Peaceful and deep</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Your soul is like a secret</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">That I could never keep</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">When I look into your eyes</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">I know that it’s true</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">God must of spent</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">A little more time</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">On you</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In all of creation</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">All things great and small</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">You are the one that surpasses them all</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">More precious than</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Any diamond or pearl</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">They broke the mold</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">When you came into this world</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">And I’m trying hard to figure out</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Just hope I ever did without</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The warmth of your smile</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The heart of a child</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">That’s deep inside</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Leaves me purified</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">Now that I found the love of my life, I truly admire how God spent time creating him exactly for me. God knew we were going to be one someday. I am finally experiencing that joy now.<br />Aahh... I'm in Love! =)</span><br /></span>Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35721792.post-21092885635461423072007-08-07T07:24:00.000-06:002007-08-07T07:28:26.908-06:00When you just can't decide...what paper towels you want to buy...buy one of each!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_An35HUNu1ItIRb-Dbs-_2JXJ57leqfKpL0KK52yHTucgQXkb7LonE0akweJEgnh2ZtsHCX8t_bHpEbXpIHDH6xdPUE1t1QZzzL-kUslg9L1T1xlxlDZg83A9L-BHysbTRhSLw/s1600-h/random.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_An35HUNu1ItIRb-Dbs-_2JXJ57leqfKpL0KK52yHTucgQXkb7LonE0akweJEgnh2ZtsHCX8t_bHpEbXpIHDH6xdPUE1t1QZzzL-kUslg9L1T1xlxlDZg83A9L-BHysbTRhSLw/s320/random.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095949423130004418" border="0" /></a>Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35721792.post-29268652573065596522007-08-04T08:42:00.000-06:002007-08-04T18:32:13.513-06:00Feast DayToday is the Feast day of <a href="http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=399">St. John Vianney.</a> When I went to France with the Brothers of St. John about a year ago, the little and beautiful town of Ars was the first place we visited.

Thanks for the comments on the Pope's video post!<br />This weekend we went to Laredo and got to share the video with family and friends. Among those friends included some of the Brothers of St. John because we went to Mass at their chapel. And YES, that is the chapel where a little more than a month ago we got married. Being there for the first time after the wedding was great. It helped me remember a lot of things and also I could remember how I felt. Walking down the aisle, saying our vows and just trying to enjoy the moment.<br />Now, we are back from the honeymoon and everything is starting to feel real. I'm taking summer classes on-line which makes me sit in front of the computer at least 4 hours a day, which makes me have less time to do things around the house, which reminds me that when the semester starts, I'll be a full-time student and 4 hours will be nothing, which reminds me that I have to organize myself so I can do both things as best as I can, which reminds me of the graces I received that day of our wedding, those graces that I continue to receive, those graces that remind me of my vocation as Gerardo's wife. And all that calms me down, this is just the beginning. God is good and hopefully some day the laundry will double and the dishes will triple! But not this day-- my classes are waiting.Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35721792.post-17610762060776629572007-07-11T07:19:00.000-06:002007-07-11T07:28:02.168-06:00Wujuuuuuuuuuuuu!OH my goodness, Oh my goodness!<br />We just received this video. It's only 17 seconds long...but what a blessing to have it on video!<br />Every time I see it I want to cry. I remember the exact moment...<br />Pope Benedict was closer and we grabbed his hands, one Gerardo and one me. Then Gerardo said: "Animo Papa! Mucho animo!" and I said as best as my tears permitted: "Desde Mexico Papa!!" Then Pope Benedict stopped for half a second, looked at us and said: "Que Dios los bendiga"<br />He wasn't saying anything to anyone, he was just shaking hands. Truly a blessing directly from God.<br /><br />And here we have, one of the best 17 seconds of our lives:<br /><br /><center><embed src="http://www.dropshots.com/dropshotsplayer.swf" flashvars="url=http://www.dropshots.com/photos/291170/20070711/081139.flv&post=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" height="310" width="320"></embed><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:8;" ><a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Photo Sharing</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Video Sharing</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Share Photos</a> - <a href="http://www.dropshots.com/">Free Video Hosting</a></span></center>Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35721792.post-63363119393158587682007-07-09T17:04:00.000-06:002007-07-09T17:20:45.221-06:00Our new family member!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRh6wCMWxvKHYS0O9vaoHEi2T4xx43DZJTvz1q8kFBUgzWMP1oEVnNshvTnZAoVVe0evPngICraUoluyopeVEzbLy3mZzvcYWGf-VwYcD8Ko1KzC1S-uS7RNSZp9D1vAbh9TfOSg/s1600-h/4th+of+july+012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRh6wCMWxvKHYS0O9vaoHEi2T4xx43DZJTvz1q8kFBUgzWMP1oEVnNshvTnZAoVVe0evPngICraUoluyopeVEzbLy3mZzvcYWGf-VwYcD8Ko1KzC1S-uS7RNSZp9D1vAbh9TfOSg/s320/4th+of+july+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085339477405366610" border="0" /></a>This little and beautiful rabbit started visiting our backyard the other day. Gerardo makes fun of me every time I take a look outside to see the little rabbit...he says I get VERY excited...and he is right.<br />The other day I was even MORE excited because we saw two of them. I tried to open the door and go outside, but the moment I started unlocking the door, they heard me, and ran/jumped away! I wanted them to see that they are welcomed here...so I thought of another idea. I ran to the kitchen and grabbed some lettuce. I layed some pieces on the grass and waited a few minutes. They came back a couple of hours later... I still don't know if they liked the lettuce though.<br />We'll see how long they continue visiting us. I hope my lettuce plan worked!Roxannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06026137421766086395noreply@blogger.com3
