RJ’s Confirmation

Today was RJ's special day.  He got out of school yearly to get ready.  He went to put on his suit (bought online from Macy's) and we found this!?!  We only had an hour left to get ready at this time and didn't know how to get the ink tag off.  Talk about a crazy run around!  We ran to church and laid down blankets to hold our spots, then we ran to Kohl's, their machines were not the right ones, ugh.  Now what?!  Then I thought that maybe Ross still puts tags on things?  I drove over to Ross and of course there was a long line!  A nice man let me jump in front of him and the lady at the register said she wasn't allowed to take tags off without the receipt - but of course I didn't have the receipt... I wasn't thinking that clearly! I told her where we were headed and the clerk said she would do it since she was Catholic too and knew how big a deal this was!  AND it worked!  YIPEE!  I wish I could have hugged the lady!

We grabbed a few pictures outside before heading in. It was a beautiful day and by the end of the mass it would be entering darkness.
