After another week of school, I had a perfect weekend to recharge me for this week!
Julie (one of my sisters) and her boyfriend Andy came in town. Andy plays waterpolo and there was a tournament in Knoxville this weekend so they met here and stayed with us.
Turns out waterpolo tournaments are totally awesome! You basically get to lay out at the pool and watch really strong athletes play a sport that I can barely follow the rules. Andy's team barely lost in the championship game.
We had a great time with them visiting. It was pretty laid back. Saturday night I went out with the bride-to-be...Shannon (soon to be Moore). It was a bridal girls night out at a "posh night club" in Old City Knoxville. We had so much fun!
Sunday morning we went to our church's big community day. They cancelled all masses except for one on Sunday at 10. (And one on Saturday in case you can't make it on Sunday). They had a huge outdoor mass. Everyone was encouraged to bring lawn chairs and a picnic lunch for after mass. The priest had an awesome homily. The mass was half spanish/half english to promote unity between the two parish communities. All week leading up to the mass there was 24/7 adoration where everyone was invited to spend an hour in prayer for our parish. We were also encouraged to take a name/address of a parishioner to visit at their home to introduce ourselves, tell them we are praying for them, and invite them to the special mass.
All in all it was a wonderful weekend. I already can't wait until next year's outdoor mass!
