Die Buchwalds

One of the worst things about Matt’s pending job interview is that I have absolutely no patience. He says job interview, I automatically think “Yay! A House and Babies!!!” So I’ve gotten myself stuck into that situation. The one where I’ve spent WAY too much time gazing at baby items in stores and searching the Howard Hanna website for my dream house.

Whilst I was browsing, I thought I’d investigate a mystery. We saw a suspicious sign in front of a beloved former teacher’s home a few months ago. I looked it up. Not only is it absurdly out of any price range we’ll be able to afford in the next 20 years, it’s also perfect. I would love to be able to buy it and keep it as it should be. It’s one of those wonderful old farm houses, perfect for raising a large family of children who like to play outside, but no longer perfect for having a farm. I’ll cry if anything other than a nice refurbishing happens to the dance studio inside that home. What I’d really like to know, though, is WHY the house is for sale. It’s been so many years and I’m so out of touch with people who might know. *sigh*
Would anyone like to donate a few hundred grand to the Buy Amy’s Dream House fund?

Since the season of Lent is big on suffering penance, self-denial and reconciliation, I thought I’d link to a really good Examination of Conscience originally published during Advent over at Fathers Know Best
So, there you have it, folks. A great tool to make even better use of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Say a prayer for all who struggle with the sacrament of reconciliation and for all who have recently made or will soon make their first confession.

With just a little over two weeks until Matt is finally baptized and fully initiated into the Church, I’m starting to realize that this is MUCH better than getting married. Fewer things to plan and/or coordinate, fewer expenses, more excitement and, best of all, my mom is cooking.

And as we prepare to conclude our lenten journeying, Matt got a bit of good news in his quest for perfect employment. He has a job interview on Tuesday. What a marvelous Easter present it would be if he could get an offer.

Say some extra prayers if you have time!
