Dear Evann – I had to write a comment here after meeting you today.
First of all you shocked me so completely by discovering the “aeternus” identity! Gosh, you really got me on that one!!! However, after having visited your beautiful family and now visiting your website I am amazed to see all we have in common! Even down to the First Communion Story Contest thing (I turned something in when they were first launching the site!)
You are an amazing woman and I feel quite blessed our heavenly Father brought us together to meet! It was an unexpected joy and I am VERY hopeful to see you again.
(I’ll send you the pix after they are published at the end of the week!)
Peace to you and your family this night,
Lisa
p.s. I’m going to go and put up the St. Joseph Altar button on my blog!

Lisa,
It was our pleasure to have you here today! I realized this afternoon that you were in the First Communion contest last year too. What a small world – and I too am sure we have met for a reason! Just goes to show you, we never know what the day may bring. I look forward to seeing your photos and seeing you again as well.
