I got the best surprise when I got to work today!! The card was lovely. I am now a member of the Roman Catholic Church as of Saturday!!! (This is me being extremely excited although you can't see it.) God willing I'll post some pictures soon although tonight I have to go out as my sister is acting in an Easter play at the church I used to attend. Also yesterday was her birthday and as our relatives who were visiting said it kind of downplayed that. So pray for me that I will support her rightly..
It's so good to at least have a few people who are excited with me.. I remember the Gloria most of all and when they lit up the Church while we were singing it, it was so beautiful. I keep randomly singing the Gloria - better that than like a Disturbed song - which is really horrible too because I can never remember the melody, to the Gloria I mean. Except for the refrain. Glory to God in the Highest and Peace to His People on Earth.
Also receiving His Body and His Blood.
It was so beautiful. And also when the Monsignor held my head and said I accept you into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. And well the whole thing, okay.
God bless and thanks again! I'll post pictures soon.
Anne

Congratulations, Anne. 
Thank you for the card, too, Rick. You had me blubbering in my office!

Okay ... here are the pictures. One is of me, my dad, his girlfriend, and my sponsor, the other is of Sister Helen who is in charge of RCIA at my parish and the third one is Monsignor Lawrence. He is very sweet. He heard my first confession and also administered my first Holy Eucharist.. God bless! Oh yes and I want to mention that I have repented of ever using that hair conditioner ever again. But I hate to throw things away. If anyone thinks they might want it let me know.
