I guess a few of them had hired people to sew their aprons for them, because they didn't know people who could sew.

The first year novices told me that some of the class had never sewn before. It's a foreign concept to me, because where I'm from, almost every girl at least tries it, and even if they don't keep up with it, mom and grandmas still sew. Most take sewing in 4-H for at least a year or two and our school still taught it in family/consumer science classes.

How is your sister doing? Excited about first vows?

Yes! They try not to focus on the DAY too much, rather the long term implications of the day, but I know she's super excited to see us, so she's already excited for the day! But she has been enjoying their vows classes and learning about their vocation and all that. It's fun to compare and contrast our vocations as we both grow in them.
