Wonderful Weekend

This year was the first time I have ever celebrated Easter without my family. I didn't go home because gas prices are getting just crazy, and I will be going home in 2 weeks to celebrate my birthday {woohoooo!} and Mother's Day. I was very excited to be spending Easter with my church family at Bay Leaf. I was quite a busy gal and by Sunday night I ended up with some kind of allergy mess and was super tired. But at the end of the weekend, I was just overjoyed at how the Lord was good and how much I enjoyed spending time with my church family to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is alive and because of His sacrifice we have victory!
Here is a recap [in list form] of my weekend. I think the world would be semi better if lists were for everything:
* Megan Roseen's Old Hollywood Bday Party
* 2 Wonderful runs with Lindsay and Lacie in prepartion for our 10K.
* Went to see "Water for Elephants" - covered my eyes and gasped a lot.
* Easter Egg Hunt at Bay Leaf and lunch with friends from church
* Some shopping for a new pair of running shoes.
* Pancake party at Lindsay's with Lacie, Brittany, Alexandra, and Lindsay of course. Somehow, we all ended up painting our nails.
* Church Sunday morning
* Easter dinner at Mrs. Bush's
* Cookout/hangout with other students at Joyner Park
* Pick up Lane at the airport

It was a great weekend! I am thankful for the many conversations I was able to have over the course of the few days. I even invited a friend from work to come over to Mrs. Bush's for Easter lunch [He is not a believer.] and he came! It was great. Hope your Easter was wonderful!
Pictures to come.

  3. I'm glad your first Easter with your church family was great! Sorry I didn't get back to you about lunch (now I wish I had come ;) but I completely forgot until 2:30 when we were sitting down to eat. Hope it was wonderful and hopefully see you soon!
