la basilique du sacre coeur ~ a place to remember

Tweet

Eleven years ago, my sweetheart took me to Paris. It was my first time in France. We both fell in love with the city and food and all the marvelous architecture. We headed to Montmarte and climbed the steps to the Basilique du Sacre Coeur. We heard Mass in French. We had no clue what the homily was about. However, the beauty of the Mass is that no matter what language, we can follow and respond, even though our responses were in English.

The basilica is so beautiful. It would forever hold a special place in my heart. We had Notre Dame in our honeymoon bucket list ~ but Sacre Coeur exceeded our expectations. We timed it very well that we were able to attend Mass there.

^Love the way he looks at me here





I used to be so sad when autumn starts. That meant summer is over and that winter is coming soon.

Being with hubs changed my attitude towards autumn. It is now a favorite season of mine. I got engaged in October. Then got married a year later, also in October. Autumn is also football season. I am already a Colts fan before we started dating. But the fandom grew since  I married him. One cannot not enjoy football when married to Derrick. He is a numbers guy and knows stats for football (college or pro.. or even highschool).

Our wedding day is the Feast of the Our Lady of the Rosary. We could not have picked an even better day for our wedding (besides Christmas or Easter!)

I am not sad when autumn comes anymore. I enjoy the changing colors of the leaves and trees.  I embrace the layering and chilly mornings. I welcome it with a big smile... on my face and in my heart.

We change because of the people we love. We learn to like what they like, until we end up loving what they enjoy.

Happy Anniversary, love!

12 plus 10 plus 4 plus 1

Tweet

 

 

 

 

 

What are those numbers up there?

Is this a pop Math quiz? Are you prepared?

 

Instead of using the title: anniversary photos ~ I came up with the silly idea of numbers.

12 stands for 12 years together with hubs.

10 is the number of years married to this guy.

4 is the number of babies we have.

1 since we have baby D5 on the way.

 

 

I love how these professional photos turned out. Hubs was such a sport. He just went with the flow when I told him I registered us for a mini photo session. I emphasized mini because the whole hour with an outfit change is not going to fly with this guy. He is used to being the person behind the camera while I pose for my outfit photos.

you won't believe how I got these curls {wiws}

^ my necklace is a jcrew factory find -- on sale! ^

now until 01/18 midnight, it's extra 50% off clearance items. head there now!

if we are FB friends, you already know how I got these curls.

I have been curling my hair as I am loosing A LOT of hair. The curls add volume. I have a curling wand that I like a lot. but I am afraid of using heat every single time I curl my hair. my poor hair.

Thanks to a sweet coworker, I found out about sock curls! So when hubs was folding his laundry, i saw his socks. Reluctantly he agreed to help me "curl my hair." Sleeping with sock curlers on is so much "softer" than sleeping with curlers on. I look ridiculous per my children but voila... look at the end result the next day.

Sharing these words from our pastor's homily:
Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. When we look with the eyes of faith we see something greater in everything we do, and in every place we happen to be.
...
Faith is obeying the Mother of Jesus, who commands us, “Do whatever He tells you,” even when reason alone tells us otherwise. 



Happy Sunday friends!
What are you up to today?
