Blessed house!

Today we got a very special treat -- a visit from Monsignor Kevin!!!!  He went to send off Egren at St. John's seminary in Camarillo and afterward, he stopped by to hang out!! Zoe was a little shy at first, but after a few minutes she settled down and got super comfortable with him!  He was having so much fun interacting and playing with her ... he said he'd love to do that every week =).  I'm glad the two of them got to hang out and play.

When Michael got home from work, Monsignor Kevin blessed our new home. It was such a nice feeling to have our house blessed -- it's actually the FIRST place we've ever had blessed.  We had always planned to get our condo in Pasadena and Century City blessed, but it never happened.  Now I feel so much safer and our house is officially a home!!!

Afterwards, we went to dinner at Lure in Camarillo.  At dinner, Monsignor Kevin thanked us for keeping true to our promise of staying involved at the Cathedral.  He said when we first told him we were moving to Oxnard he figured we wouldn't be around as much.  But now, he sees we're more involved than ever!  Mass every Sunday, CCC meetings, some C-YA/NOD events, helping with the marriage orientation program, and whatever else he asks us to do.  The truth is, we LOVE being active at the Cathedral.  We are so blessed to have gotten married there and to really build our family life around the people we've had the privilege to meet there.  We are always looking for ways to give back and to offer our time and energy to God.  Monsignor Kevin is a HUGE driving force to all the blessings we've received since we stepped foot at the Cathedral and we'd do anything to reciprocate the amount of love he's always shown our family.
