An Enjoyable Weekend

I know I have talked about the fact that my dh is very involved with the Knights of Columbus.  Well, this past weekend we went to another convention about three hours south of where we live.  The Knights do it right.  We stayed in a "posh" hotel, ate good food and mingled with some really nice and good Catholic people.  While my dear dh sat in meetings all day on Sat, I went to a ladies (wives) luncheon, saw a speaker on how to dress according to your body type and then spent the afternoon walking around this college town walking through an art fair.  The mass on Sat night just moved me.  There is something about hearing a church full of men singers (yes, the Knights do sing) just gives me goosebumps.  I sing louder myself because there is good singing going on.  After mass, it was the banquet.  Very nice and then at the end, we all sang "Let there be peace on earth" (which was the theme for the weekend) and oh my...talk about holding the tears back. There are no words.  Sunday morning, my dh had more meetings and I hung out and ate a nice breakfast with the ladies again.  For me it is a very social weekend.  I relax, I enjoy.  I talk with some super nice and interesting people from all over my state.  The Lord is doing wonders and great things through those Knights and I'm so grateful to be married to one.  If your own dh is not a Knight...please, please, please, have him consider joining.  He doesn't have to be as involved as my dh....but any involvement...is good involvement. Okay, there's my plug.

We really did not talk about the "A" word this weekend.  I was asked if I had children this weekend (as always) and I told this one lady I was talking to that we couldn't have children, God's plan, not ours.  Her response "Oh, that's too bad.".  Is it?  I'm really trying to make our IF a good thing, making lemonade, it's just random thoughtless comments like that one that make me wonder....I do realize she didn't mean anything by what she said...so I just had to roll with it like I do every other time someone says something that makes me "wonder".  By now, I've gotten somewhat good at rolling with it.  On the ride home I did make sure my dh was doing better with everything and he said "yes" and we agreed to leave the subject alone unless there is something to talk about.  Part of me would like to get excited about "A" but since we have no idea how this will all turn out in the end (part of me still feels God's answer is "no" still)...we have to carry on with protected hearts and minds. +sigh+

Well, now it's time for me to work on reports and getting my toys and files ready for another week of work.  Have a great week my dear blogger friends.
