My Annulment Is Moving Forward!

I went to see Sr. Annette on Thursday along with my hubby who so graciously agreed to get have his marriage(s) annulled so I could get confirmed in the Church.  He was told that he would have to do the same for his first marriage (get it annulled).....long story short we found out his first wife died five years ago so of course now fell on his second wife (who is the most vindictive person I know, not to mention is just pure evil!).  So in talking to Sr. Annette,  my husband happened to mention that her entire family was Catholic, but he was not sure if she was since she baptized  him in the Lutheran church. Sr. Annette had him call her and low and behold she didn't know for sure.....she ended up having to call her mother in Florida to find out where she was baptized....as (good) luck would have it she WAS baptized CATHOLIC!  Well, I didn't like the fact that we shared a religion, but I was thrilled to know that because she was "technically" Catholic her marriage to my hubby was actually invalid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Let me tell you I did a happy dance after that discovery!  Finally something went right!

Now all I had to do was sign my paperwork and Sr. Annette was going to send it in that day!  All we need right now is for the witnesses to do their part (my brother and sister are my witnesses).  I should only take 9 - 12 months and I will be clear to have my marriage blessed in the Catholic Church and get confirmed!!  I am so excited!  I will finally have all the sacraments taken care of and will become a "Complete Catholic". Alleluia and thank you Jesus!!!!!
