Expecting news, but not what we were expecting

No, we still don't have a parish assignment.

Friday was my last day at work, and T gave me four tickets to the Red Sox. We went with Thomas and Jenny and had a great time. I am also happy about my now-empty change purse, the contents of which went to a rather surprised man who was begging. Dn. Virgil asked me whether I had given him just the change, or the purse as well. I was rather surprised that I had not told him about this particular purse. My mother had let me take it to school one day, and I bought my lunch and had the purse on the tray ... as I emptied it out into the trash. Miss Perkins went through the Dumpster to get the little purse back. So, no, I didn't give the purse away.

Last week, we found out some news which was confirmed at a doctor's visit yesterday afternoon. We started a new blog to share the news, but you'll have to be clever and find it yourself.

This morning, my husband received the news that he will be Holy Cross' valedictorian this year.

So, with my new-blog news and my husband's valedictory news, when someone comes up to us and says, "Congratulations!" I wonder what in particular we're being congratulated on.

Also recently enjoyed: not working, a two-hour nap after Liturgy this morning, and eating ice cream with my husband.
