Hannah's um....baptism?

Hannah was baptized this past weekend. While that was the focus of the weekend, it was also really nice to see my whole family. My older sister's then boyfriend Adam was chosen to be Hannah's godfather. I say then boyfriend because he proposed on Monday. Congratulations to them! My older sister, Anna, had to settle with being a "witness", since she is not Catholic. I think we'll still call her a godmother though, since godfather and witness sounds a little weird.


At any rate, it also meant Hannah got to wear this adorable gown:

As for the title: we didn't have time to go over the ceremony with the priest prior to starting. So right at the beginning, Fr. Martin asks us "What do you ask of the Church?". Well...we ask a lot of things of the Church. Is this our one free pass? As I was wondering what one thing he might be after, my younger sister Laura's boyfriend Jason whispers behind me "baptism". Oh yeah...that. So it ends up going something like "bapti..." "baptism!". Once we made it over that hurdle there were a couple of "I do/I don't" questions (hint - I think the answer for all of them is "I do"), and then Fr. Martin says "These questions are very important. That is why, you will see, there will be many more later." Heidi and I looked at each other with a should've-studied-for-this-test kind of look, but the rest were more yes/no questions. I think we got them all right.

Is it bad that we had to cheat on the baptism quiz? And if this were school, then it would have been on the part where you have to fill in what class the quiz is for.

Congrats to Hannah and to Anna!!!!

Ever notice this on xkcd or on billboards? We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves. The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.
Turns out that it was an advertising campaign by askjeeves. I wonder if it would work for a blog.
