Where Did The Time Go?

Suddenly it's 2018

This year has just passed by so quickly. I don't even know where to start. 

Our little blog has 13 followers now! Thank you guys for sticking with us. I know we have been posting much lately but with school and generally growing up things, its hard to find time to sit down and write a post. 

I certainly am going to post more this coming year. :D :D 

Kat and I have exciting things happening this year. This year, we are directing our church's Epiphany play. Which is a little terrifying!!! 

WE'RE GRADUATING THIS YEAR!!!!!

Who decided it would be a good idea to release us on the world???? (jk jk jk) Then this fall, Kat will be headed off to college and me....... I have no idea. It has caused me many a gray hair just thinking about it. My hair is practically white!!!!!!!! (I kid, I kid) Still brown :)

Have a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!

Remember when staying up until Midnight used to be a big thing? Wow.

Things That Happened This Year: 

• Catholic Girl Stuff turned 1!
   
• We have 8k Pageviews... WOW
   
• We both totally forgot to post on this blog.
   
• Lia turned 18! YIKES
   
• I applied for different colleges (I feel so old...)
   
•  We reached our 100th post...and then some
   
• Drank WAAAAY to much coffee
   
• Played pranks
   
• Spent time with friends (though not nearly enough)
  
  
  And since Lia started, that means I finish. Which means I have to break the not so happy news... Catholic Girl Stuff will be on hiatus for the month of January.
  (Don't worry, Lia will probably still be posting over at Musical Writings....We all know she's your favorite anyways)

Hello February!

Today is the first day of February! We are now one month further into the year 2017.
What do we have to show for it? Have we kept up our goals? Are we getting closer to achieving our dreams?

Or are you sitting on the computer all day reading blogs? (Don't feel too bad. That's basically what I've been doing, except I have tea. Plus I like this blog. )

This is the beginning of a new month. It's time to start working again! To start sprinting toward your dreams again,

But first you should finish this blog post.


Many of my protestant friends are very surprised that the Catholics read the Bible.
Honesty? Come on. We were the ones who combined the Old and New Testament, kept and protected the Bible all these years...(Sorry. Ranting)

Since this is the Month of Marriage, (that was St. Valentine's real story you know. Saving marriages.) I suggest reading the book of Tobit.  There is a paper somewhere explaining how the book of Tobit has every Church teaching on Marriage and Family in it. (I'll try and find it for you, but I wouldn't count on it)

This would be a good book to read this month. It doesn't take long to read this book of the Bible, I read it earlier in about an hour. So just take out the Bible and read a few minutes a day.

Besides containing a lot on Marriage, it's also very funny.

Like the fact that the girl young Tobit marries has had her last 7 husbands killed by a devil on her wedding night? (Well, that's not very funny...)
So after Tobit married her, her dad sent the servants out to dig a pit, "Just in case"
Of course after he lived, they had to fill it back in....

Goodbye to January

Ummmmmmmmmmmm. how is it the end of January already????


It felt like yesterday was January 1st and we were celebrating New Years

and now.... February is beginning.

It's scary how time goes by so fast. Before we even know it, this year will be over and who knows, our lives may change this year in ways we can't even imagine.

Wow, I got deep. It felt natural, I want to share more of my thoughts with you guys, stay tuned.


Love,

Recaping 2016

Hey guys!

I decided to write a post about how this year has been for me.

I feel 2016 has been a big year for me but also I can't wait to start 2017 and see what it holds.

2016 is the year I started to transgress from child to young adult. I am 17 but I feel like I didn't
start to really feel it til this year.

2016 also had its ups and downs too.... At the beginning of the year, my mom broke her ankle. For the next three months, my life changed a lot. I had to take on a lot of the responsibility around the house, taking care of my little brothers, and making dinner. And at the same time keep up with my
schoolwork as well. Thankfully, my tutor was very understanding so she gave me some freebies :)

I started my junior year of high school in 2016 and. I have started to look at collages and trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and my future.

In November, my mom and sisters took me to see Phantom of the Opera on stage. It was the best thing ever and I am so blessed to have a wonderful mother and sisters who knew how much I wanted to see it.

In 2017, I want to actually follow through with my New Years resolutions and not completely forget about them.

So I've come up with some I will try to follow.


1. Stop procrastinating so much
2. Blog more
3. Try to write something in my journal every day
4. Spend less time on the Internet.
5. Be confident



I hope you guys have a happy new year and I look forward to what the new year brings us all.

Love,
-Lia
