Know what I love to do? I mean really, really love to do? Throw a party. I like the decoration, the balloons!, food, the planning, the happy people….I love a party. Right up at the top of my list for fun to throw is a shower…baby….bridal…I don’t care….except that I truly prefer to throw the bridal before the baby shower….anyway….

I was just sitting here this morning thinking “for whom could I throw a party?” ( Don’t you love how my thinking includes proper grammar and the word “whom”? Me too. ) And that’s when I ran across two brides-to-be who could use a little help. That’s where you come in. You’re the help. Yay you! You get to help!

Then I mentioned it to LarryD and he offered to co-host the shower! I mean….he offered to help give the brides away!

Bride-to-be #1

Caitlin is a 19 year old college student who wants to be a Dominican nun. The only thing standing between her and the convent is her $6,000 in student loans. See, a girl can’t go to the convent with any kind of debt at all. They want to be sure she’s choosing to be a nun and not running away from her problems. She’s got some help already from the evil Chik Fil A who has partnered up with her on a “Send Caitlin to the Convent” fundraiser night. If you’re in Warrenton tonight, go grab a sandwich and tell them Caitlin sent you so she can get 20%. (I’m loving Chik-Fil-A right now…gotta say that.) If you’re not there, head on over to her blog, click on the pay pal button and give her a few dollars to help her out. $6000 stand between her and her Bridegroom. Go help a girl out!

What? Another nun to be? You got it!

Bride-to-Be #2

Sophia is a 26 year old RN who dreams of giving it all up and spending the rest of her life as a Bride of Christ. Yup, she’s entering the convent, too! (Can I just stop for a moment and say “Nuns! I love nuns! Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) She started her journey to the convent with $60,000 in student loans. That’s a lot, but don’t let that number throw you off. She only needs to raise $2,105 more and she’s free and clear! What? She’s already cleared away $58,000 in debt. She’s a rock star! Let’s see if we cant’ help her get the rest of the way to the finish line. This girl needs to be wearing a habit! Go to her blog and see if you can’t at least give her the $5 to bring it down to 2100 even. You know you like round numbers…… 🙂 Then go like her page on Facebook and show her a little love.

Nuns!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them! Ever since Sr Katherine taught me in first grade and Sr Philomena with her Irish brogue in high school…… There’s something about a woman in a habit that just makes me smile.

Let’s help these two brides as they prepare to walk down the aisle and profess their vows to our Lord.
