This pilgrimage group was formed through the organization Paradisus Dei, based out of Houston. Paradisus Dei has lots of different avenues of ministry, but their main branch is a men's group called … Continue reading TMIY Pilgrimage: Into the Heart of the Holy Family
I've been at war with myself. For some reason, I have z.e.r.o. motivation to type about our trip. But so many new things keep happening in our life and I want to write about those! But my blog-conscience will not allow me to do so until I've cleared the Europe hurdle.So I sit down to … Continue reading Enough is Enough – Let’s just get these Europe photos up!
What a perfect day in Rome! We woke up and met Mike Zimmerman on our way to the Vatican. There’s something really lovely about being awake and walking around before a city begins the daily hustle and bustle. You can absorb the scenery with ease rather than fighting the crowds.

Katie looked like a princess and Kevin was glowing – yes, the … Continue reading The Gearns’ Wedding, NYC and Traveling to Rome

Three years seems accurate, just the right amount of time. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's a fruit of trying … Continue reading July 16 – Three Blessed Years
I think that I’ve spent a whopping total of 10 days in Grand Forks since May 27. And since I don’t blog while I’m traveling, that’s made for a pretty sparse summer as far as our family updates go. However, sparse is probably the last word I’d use to describe how our summer has actually … Continue reading Playing Catch Up

It's been quite a few weeks in the Dill household! And I have smorgasbord of blessings and photos to share with you. 1. Poppy finished his radiation treatment one week ago, and overall he had minimal side effects throughout the process after that rough first day. Thank you for your prayers! In a couple of … Continue reading A Smorgasbord of Things
Today is the day that my Poppy begins radiation treatment for lung cancer. Back in January he found out that he has colon cancer, and when they brought him in for tests they discovered he also has lung cancer. Both are in the early stages, and colon cancer is particularly slow growing; the lung cancer, … Continue reading Saint Peregrine, pray for us.
