My fiancee is coming to America tonight and I’m so excited!! If you are regular readers of this blog, you’ll know that we are involved in the ultimate in long distance relationship, lol. If unfamiliar, click on the "immigration" category to get an idea of what is happening. We’re going to have a blast, as always. So far, we only have a few things planned, but they will be fun. We’re going to go bike riding (spring weather is nearly here), to the Zoo, skating, visiting the Our Lady of Consolation Shrine, and more. I can’t wait for her to see Ohio outside of the dead of winter, which is what she’s only seen in the past.

Today is going to be a busy day, though. I’m going to go to the YMCA and get in that one last workout. I need to go to the bank and then off to pick her up at the airport. Beforehand I want to visit two bookstores, one Catholic, the other general. I honestly want a John Paul II holy card and know that this store had them in the past. I also am looking for a book on learning Italian. My fiancee and her family are Italio-Australians. Plus, hearing the Italian at the Vatican made me want to learn more. With Spanish and Latin under my belt, I’m sure learning Italian will be easy and also will hopelessly confuse me when writing Latin or speaking Spanish!

Please pray for safe travel for her (and us as we pick her up).
