As I mentioned in a previous post, our family was hunting for a house for the last few weeks. We just bought one today. It's about three miles south of where we live right now -- that will add maybe another 5-8 minutes to my commute. No big deal when your commute is already a bit less than an hour.
Just to add to the "praying to the saints" discussion, we have been asking for St. Joseph's intercession all along. We think he came through for us, big-time: the house is bigger than we thought we'd get, and at a very fair price. We're still going to finish our novena, though.
St. Joseph rocks my socks.
