She’s Engaged!

by | Dec 11, 2025 | Precious Moments: 03, St. Catherine of Alexandria, Weddings | 1 comment

So hard to believe our baby girl is engaged! 💍✨

On November 23rd she said yes and they will be starting marriage prep with one of her uncles soon. So special, especially since that uncle’s very first baptism over 22 years ago was actually hers!

I almost shared on the Feast of St. Catherine of Alexandria, when I was taking a photo of the girls with our annual heart cakes for her name-day. (It doesn’t look like she’ll make it to 25 and need “encouragement in her search for love” — the old French tradition attached to the feast!) But I stopped myself when I realized she hadn’t shared her news publicly yet.

She’s given me permission now — and she also mentioned her “fiancé” in this year’s gift guide, which some of you noticed! — so now I finally get to share it with you all. Our sweet girl is engaged, and we so happy for the two of them!

Please keep them in your prayers!

… and send me all your best advice on planning a wedding. 😳

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
