Away they go ...

Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 4:45 a.m. 

Me:  "What the ..."

Brian:  In a sweet, I want something voice.  "Here's some coffee.  I know it's early but we've really go to get moving."

Me:  "okay.  Okay.  OKAY."

Brian is off to get Patrick up and I'm downing the coffee like I'm in college again.

Patrick stumbles into the bathroom grunting responses to Brian's incessant questions.

Me:  "He's got everything.  I stayed up helping him finish his packing last night."

Brian:  Clearly iritated at my iritiation at his incessant questions.  "I am just checking.  I don't want him to forget anything."

Okay, time to regroup.   Check my iritability.  Forget that's its entirely too early in the morning after entirely too little sleep. Remember why were up and having these conversations.

Brian and Patrick and about 30 other people from our church left for Gallup, New Mexico for a week of service activities on an Indian Reservation and with the Little Sisters of the Poor.  As part of this trip, they will have mass at the Grand Canyon!

I am so excited for all the opportunities awaiting them.  Here's the safe arrival pic of Patch and his friend Rob.
