Easter

I have been trying to get back into the swing of things this week and I haven't had much time to sit down and write.

We had a wonderful Easter! Sunday morning we woke up, late, and quickly gathered our things and took off for our church's sunrise service. I have been going with my dad to sunrise service since I can remember. It use to just be my dad and me, but as the years have passed we have grown our number. Now, our whole family goes! We then went to my parent's house for the Easter bunny! He left us yummy treats and a special egg with some cash! We hung out for awhile and then headed to church. Nothing beats some good music with the church band playing and good preaching, Easter or not! I have not seen so many people in our church in a long time, it was wonderful! It was a really great service complete with baptism! We are so blessed to be part of a church that preaches the Word and nothing else!

After church we headed to my mother in law's house for hamburgers. We strayed from the traditional and had cheeseburgers and it was great! I love me a good cheeseburger! John Thomas was watching the Masters all day so I was able to cat nap a good bit and it was a perfect way to end Spring Break!

Here are a few pictures of our day...

The Rest of Spring Break

What a wonderful break it has been! Tuesday, mom and I packed up the car and headed to Charleston for a few days! Sadly, I do not have ONE picture of us together in Charleston. I am not sure what I was thinking but now I am upset that I don't have one! We had a wonderful time though! We shopped, walked around, and ate a lot! :) I have a special relationship with my mom that will never be replaced. She is my hero and I love and admire her so very much!

This is the view we had from our balcony, Charleston Marina.

I love Lost Dog on Folly Beach. Mom and I ate brunch here before coming back home. I saw this quote on the wall and LOVED it! Made me think of my sweet Wally!

The rest of my spring break has been super relaxing! We have our house on the market right now and I decided that while switching my clothes in my closet out to summer clothes, why not completely reorangize our spare bedroom/Wally's room. I wish I would have taken a picture while working. You could not see the floor, bed, Wally's crate (I think Wally was even lost for a little bit), desk, anything!Now, everything is neatly organize and my heart is happy!

Today's weather has been perfect! John Thomas played golf this morning and I finished reading Hunger Games (LOVE IT!).

I then went to Country Boys and bought all my plants for the spring! This is my favorite thing to do when decorating the house except for Christmas!

Here are a few pictures that I took after I had planted.

Ferns make my heart happy! (I so get this from my mom!)

Love my window box!

If we could get all the grass green we would be in business! John Thomas is working extra hard on that!

Please pardon the hair...you would think JT would tell me to fix it, but I couldn't resist putting this up because it is such a sweet picture of my baby boy!

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter tomorrow! I am so grateful for the sacriface that was given so that we are able to live eternally!

"Because HE lives, I CAN face tomorrow. Because HE lives, ALL fear is GONE. Because I know He holds the future. And life is worth the living just beause HE LIVES!!"

Spring Break!

This is one excited teacher about Spring Break! I called a friend earlier today and they asked how was Day 1 of Spring Break and I replied, "It is Monday and I didn't have to go to school...it's not too bad!" I do love my job, but I needed a break and so did my babies.

Our school always has an incentive trip for both 7th and 8th grade classes. 7th graders take off to NYC for a few days and 8th graders go to Orlando. This year the 8th graders opted to do Universal, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, and Sea World's Water Park. We had a BLAST! We left last Wednesday about 8 am and returned midnight last night! To say that I am exhausted is an understatement, but I will def go back! Here are a few pictures I took while in Florida!

Wally was not happy there were bags packed!

Day 1- I think I was more excited than some kids :)

End of Day 1- 12 hours can be very tiring

Sea World- This was the Dolphin Show- by far, my favorite!

 Amanda and me on a Dr. Suess ride- we had so much fun!

Harry Potter was amazing! I have never read the books but they are on my list to read. Apparently, I am not a good English teacher until I read them :)

I was so amazed the entire day at Sea World at all the animals. This was taken at the Shamu Rocks show.

This is at the end of the last day! Exhausted doesn't even describe how I felt (and still do!)!

I had a blast but I was ready to be home with my boys! I missed them very much!

The next three days of Spring Break will be spent in one of my most favorite places, Charleston! My mom and I are going for some quality girl time and I am excited!

Happy Spring!
