Did I mention how Catholic he is?


Nick's Lutheran and I'm Catholic. He was baptized Catholic, but has been practicing the Lutheran religion forever. We've decided to raise our kids Lutheran when we are in Wharton and Catholic when we are in Shiner. All that really means is that they will go to Sunday School in Wharton and when we are in Shiner, we will go to the Catholic church. It all sounds pretty confusing because it is! Nick comes from a THICK Catholic background. He has a distant cousin that is a priest that will be marrying us. His name is Father Martin Leopold from San Antonio. He's the young one in the picture. The older gentleman is Bishop Popp. Yes, his grandpa's brother is a BISHOP in San Antonio. His grandma also has TWO sisters that are nuns, one of which that actually taught at the Catholic school in Shiner. Geeezz! Father Martin is from his grandma's side of the family. Anyways, I attached a picture so everyone knows what he looks like. I was pretty excited because it was the first time I met him. I think it's pretty cool to have someone in the family marry us...especially since we will see him at family reunions. We are also having Nick's Lutheran pastor marry us as well. See how confusing it all is....
