ROMA!!!!!

Sorry for not blogging in such a long time. Not too much has happened. I go to school I come home, eat dinner, do homework, go to sleep and then wash, rinse, repeat.

BUT this past weekend I went to Rome to celebrate the 20th year anniversary of the Apostles of the Interior Life. And guess what I saw....


Here's the Mediterranean Sea. AWESOME!!!


Look at me!!! I'm at the VATICAN!!!!



I forgot who this is but he was a pope and now he's incorruptible, meaning his body isn't decaying like it should. I don't understand how people won't believe in God when things like this happen.


La Pieta - in person. It is such a moving statue.


If you see behind the canopy thing there is a window that's glowing. We were able to go to mass there. AMAZING!!!



Swiss guard. I asked them if I could take a picture with them and they said "No." And was like "really?!" and he just shook his head and said a little more firmly "No." So I couldn't get in the picture with him....


This is St. Peter's square and it's all ready for priest ordinations that took place on Sunday. WHOOP for vocations!



OH YEA! And here's who I went to go visit. They're absolutely crazy and totally wonderful!


And Fr. Mike Sis decided to show up since he's on vacation. GIG 'EM

  1. Woo hoo for Rome! Awesome pictures! :D

    You missed a great family weekend (you were the only Yaklin family member not present, therefore no grandkid pictures, to which I say THANK YOU).

    Have a great time in Ireland this weekend!

  2. We did have a solution to the missing child... have you take a photo of yourself in Spain (leaving lots of scenery space) and then we will photoshop the rest of us in!!

  3. Hey Britt - the pics are awesome! I wrote this note earlier but think it got posted privately somehow. Mark and I just returned from Rome, and from a long cruise. Rome was AMAZING, and we had a blast with some very funny private guides. Have fun, stay safe, and remember you are loved by many people back home, including ME! Cheers - Mrs. Z/ Coach Pam
