He Passed!

For those of you who have been tracking with us over the last summer, I have joyful news--GG passed the Virginia Bar!  Hallelujah and thanks be to God!!  I cried when he called yesterday to share the update...  The most beautiful part: he. never. has. to. take. it. again.  We are all done with bar business!!  Woo hoo!

And all of this to his credit (and to God, of course).  He worked so deliberately and consistently this summer.  He never appeared outwardly stressed, just inwardly driven and motivated.  Our family endured no real Bar drama, which was such a blessing as we waited with baited breath for the arrival of Baby J around the same time.  

Oh, to say it is good is an understatement!!  Thank you for your prayers! :)

"And how should you celebrate?" you ask.  
Well, how about a weekend away in Princeton?  That sounds about right.

This morning we head out for a weekend getaway with family to our beloved P-town.  We were charmed by it at the end of August and thought there was no better place to share in the Sacrament of Baptism for our sweet Baby J!  He will join the Catholic community on Sunday amidst dear friends and family (my parents and maternal grandparents are driving in from the Midwest and many more local friends will join us too!) :)

I promise to update Monday with pics and stories of our Jersey adventures!
God bless you and have a wonderful weekend!
