Basilica of the Immaculate Conception

is AMAZING! I had been there once before, but taking my husband to see it was a whole new experience. We prayed together, we were in awe together. I loved it.

The Basilica is a sight to be seen. It's an amazing place to be. We spent about 4 hours there on Friday, before our flight back home. The only bummer was, we got a parking ticket. HAHA! That's what happens when you do what everone else does. We definitely were not alone in our ticket peril, about 30-40 others were right there with us.

Here are a few of the pictures we took (the ones of us actually in the photo are posted on FB).








It truly is a miraculous place. Praying there gave me such a sense of peace. I wish it could be like that ALL the time!

Charting Question

Do you use a red sticker for even the smalles amount of brown fluid on the TP?

Do you put a "sensation" as well as the type of CM on your chart? I feel like I have to go through and pick one of each. Is that right?

I'm so confused! I feel like I'm doing this all wrong. I have a review in a week or so. Thank goodness!

Quick Takes

1. I started Creighton charting Tuesday. It's different than what I'm used to, but very similar. The only thing I'm tripping up on is not checking internally. After doing the Ferti.lity A.warenes M.ethod (Taking Charge of Your Fertility) its taking everything in me not too. I got to apply 3 green stickers stickers.

2. Now I'm moving on to the red stickers: today is CD1. BOOOO! AND I have some serious flippin' cramps!

3. I'm doing a 5K in May. God help me! Its at 5:00 in the afternoon on the BEACH, so hopefully it will good. I needed some kind of motivation to help get my butt off the couch!

4. I'm going to Bethesda, MD in about 3 weeks. I'm excited my hubby is coming to. I love to travel and don't even mind traveling for work, but going by yourself sucks!

5. Work is great. Had my yearly review and I'm getting a pretty kick ass raise! Whoo hoo!

6. Does anyone watch Gray's Anatomy?! I think the episode last night would've been much better WITHOUT the singing. What the heck was that even about?!

7. My name is Beth and I am a Face.book addict. I cannot help myself! I'm not much of an "updater" myself, but LOVE to read other people's updates and play the stupid FB games. And in true addict fashion, I plan on doing all of the above later tonight!

Come on 5:00, I'm soo ready to get out of the office. The weather is BEAUTIFUL!
