Presenting our new blog - on a special feast day

We are excited to publish our new blog, Aspen Springs. We chose today - October 22 - in honor of Blessed John Paul II, whose first "official" feast day is today.

We had the honor of seeing JPII in person on our first trip to Rome in the Jubilee Year of 2000. Every Catholic has "their pope" and JPII certainly is ours. His famous quotes, "Be not afraid" and "As the family goes, so goes the nation and whole world in which we live," have special meaning for us as we begin this new chapter in our family life.
