1. going to james and cecilia's dedication service this morning. they were the most beautiful babies in the world and i cherish every single moment i get to be around those beauties.

2. attending the unitarian universalist church where they got dedicated. i really want to learn more about this religion. it was very motivating for me to be in a space that is so accepting and spiritual.

3. being at the dedication/lucas going away party with the A/C family and friends. times like these i look around and beam at my gratefulness for the people in my life. especially michaela. she is such a beautiful, fun-loving, centered, caring, wild and crazy, dedicated mother, fiance and friend. i am beyond grateful to the universe and gene for bringing mic and i together.

4. the universe. i know i've talked about the emails i get from the universe every morning on here before and how much i love waking up to them. but all this religious thought today has made me question what i believe. if you grow up as a new england, irish catholic you're pretty much never allowed for the rest of your life to believe anything other than catholiscm. so i won't get all religious in this entry- i'll save it for another day- ha. but if there is one thing i know i believe in (besides that jesus is my homeboy- sorry catholic guilt needed to say it) is the universe. is there a "universe religion" y'all need to educate me.

5. i am officially a God Mother!!!! you'll laugh, but at family night, trish and ryan asked me and josh to be dexter's godparents. (their dog). trish probably wouldn't feel comfy with me putting the video i took on my blog- but i will try to post some pictures soon. i told her how i was looking into the unitarian universalism religion, and she got all sorts of upset. she was like "you need to raise dexter in the catholic religion, blah blah." it was so funny. oh, catholism the way you brainwash us all!
