NEW BLOG

Hello small number of people who read our blog!

I created a new blog because for the second time, on saturday someone told us that they couldn't access the blog because of a word on the blog name: rezapornosotros.blogspot.com you can imagine what the word is. SO, we have new blog!

From now on, please go to www.garciaibarrola.blogspot.com


Thanks! =)

Visit to Liseux

Now that it's Friday and that I actually have some time, I would like to share with you all some pictures of my trip to France on June 2006. Since we just celebrated the Feast day of St. Therese of Liseux, I thought you would like to see some pictures of her house. I was blessed with the opportunity to visit her house and the whole town of Liseux:
This is outside her house (notice the beautiful red roses):

This is the backyard. They have a statue of Therese with her father when she told him that she wanted to enter the convent:

Here's her bed, where she was very sick and the statue of the Virgin Mary smiled at her (this is not the real statue...)
Here they have her clothes and other things that belonged to her... She used the little dress in her first communion I think:
And here in a Church is like a "replica" (or what's the word?) of her body. The statue of Mary above St. Therese is the real one she had in her room:(sorry I couldn't rotate the photo in blogger)
So that was my visit to Liseux! =)

Blessed

Father Mary-David from the Brothers of St. John came and blessed our home! We were very glad that he could make it here and stay over. I really hope that more religious can come and stay at our house anytime they want. I just love the idea of opening our home to them...it feels so good to have Holy people around you.


He even blessed the garage!Thanks God for Holy priests.

Today

is a busy day! Thank God it's St. Therese's feast day, that way I can offer all up so she can pray for us.
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.
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!
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.
Have a great feast of the Little Flower, may we imitate her "little way".

Smells and tastes like Autumn

Apparently I am no the only person in the world who gets excited when September comes. For me, Semptember = Autumn and Pumpkin Spice Latte! Starbucks starts serving it on September. The other day that I went to get some before class, from the six persons that were in front of me in line, half of them ordered something pumpkin spice! I didn't know there where so many fans out there!
OK- so if you go to Strabucks before December, try any of these...I just love them ALL:

-Pumpkin Spice Latte
-Pumpkin Spice Iced Latte
-Pumpkin Spice Frapuccino
Gerardo makes fun of my excitement and he tells me that I am his "Pumpkin Spice". I don't like to think I look like a pumpkin or something... but it sounds cute! So I let him call me that... he's my husband, he has rights! =)

Super UPDATE!

Hello people! I haven't posted in a while. I've been thinking and thinking "Oh I have to put up something on the blog" So I'll ty to catch up, but the important news are that:
Gerardo is back from his hunting trip,
I got to spend an entire week with wuchis, palito and Vero.
And we went to and Aggies game and Clarissa got to come too and we went to wings'n more afterwards which was delicious and full of people.

And the beautiful rainbow in the sky of Aggieland:I am back to school...actually in one of my classes right now.
Please say a prayer for The Garcia Saenz who are going back overseas this week.
