Dta's Countdown Thread

[MissScripture]

Just heard from my parents that my sister wrote that she was going to be the one picking DtA up from the airport! I wonder what sort of shananigans they will plan.

When is she going to be at the airport? Are they entering the official postulancy at a different house? I may have misunderstood your post.

Sorry, this already happened, but wad still in the future when my sister wrote the letter, so it came out sounding funny. My sister got to pick her up at the airport when she arrived in Nashville for her entrance.

OH I see! Your sister who is an ND? How fun! I am sure they got themselves into all sorts of trouble.

I think DtA enters the official postulancy tomorrow before Mass, in her adorable black chapel veil...and after that, pictures!

I second this!

[emmaberry]

I broke.



I called the convent, and a sweet older Sister picked up and knew DtA's full name already, along with my other friends in the postulancy. For the number of newbies they have, I found that quite impressive. She said they are doing well, and that the pictures will be up at a TBA date because the Sisters have been dealing with a funeral for one of their own (I think this is what she said). The funeral took place today so things should be calming down quite a bit.

It seems like DtA is in wonderful hands! Knowing the size of the community, I expected to say her name and have the Sister say, "There are so many postulants, they're like horses. I could never learn their names so quickly. What did you say her first name was? Let me go look through the postulant file folder..."

I am so glad that this was not true!

[TheresaThoma]

YAY Emma!
I'm glad to hear that DtA is doing so well! Thanks for the update!

Yes. Hence, 'broke.' At least the older Sister did not call me out on it! That would have been mortifying....and it was already a very embarrassing phone call.

Sister: "You want what now?"
Me: "Erm...an update on my friends in the postulancy..[size=1]and I was also wondering when the pictures were going to be up[/size]."

Bless that Sister's heart! I think she was bored because she seemed to enjoy chatting. I have wondered what the older Dominican teaching sisters do.
