Hey!

Ok folks, before you ask... yes I know it's almost 4 in the morning.
My creative brain sort of ran away with me and I am So about to go to sleep!
Anyways, I am about to go to bed... But before I do that, I wanted to tell you about my new blog!
The address for said blog is monastic-internship-nancy.blogspot.com.
Yes it's long but hopefully makes sense. Probably could've done without the dashes, but oh well.

Second bit of info I'd like to share is something I'm not really sure how to share...
It's a gift that has been given to me by the parish in Rock Hill that I went to while in college. A few weeks ago, I heard that their Vestry was being asked on my behalf to help with travel expenses, which would be absolutely amazing since that's a problem for me.
I pondered this for a while before I sent an email to the Senior Warden (kind of like the chairman) about the possibility of their helping me purchase an ipad. It's something I'd been dreaming about for a while for a lot of reasons, most notably I've found apps that are church related that worked well on my ipod but would be even better to work with on a larger screen and secondly the brothers at the monastery have their daily offices already in electronic files and they were willing to blow them up and print them for me. they're about 30 pages or so and I couldn't justify printing that many pages every day four or five times a day. So I proposed the ipad. The great part is that they approved it and as we speak, or write/read, the various parts that belong to the ipad are making their ways from various places in the world to be deposited on my front porch in the next week or two.
The reason I said I had a hard time talking about this is because I am thankful, more than words can say, but I don't want to gloat, but at the same time I also want them to know how greatful I am. So, I figured I'd start with this. Beyond my close family, there aren't too many people who know and my audience for this is relatively small. So there you go, my big secret... kind of.
It's not a secret, just not sure what to say/do.

So, all of that being said, I'm going to post in my new blog sometime tomorrow. and some of you guys I put in my email alert list. This blogger thing is fun!

All right,
I'm going to bed now.
Love,
Nancy
