Easter Sunday..and Saturday.

Happy Easter to you & your family!

we had a wonderful lunch at Mimi's yesterday.

great time with family.

it was good to see Uncle Jay & Aunt Dale.

& today we celebrated Easter by going to church,

having an Easter cantata,

and eating leftovers!

Now, time to relax, work on some schoolwork, and anticipate Summer for another week.

I always enjoy spending time with my family, and I am so thankful to have such a close knit one to call mine. We missed some, but they were here in spirit. 

I know i've said it before - but with each gathering I realize more & more how important these people in my life really are, and how thankful I am that they have been such a Godly influence on me. Each one of them encourages me in a different way, and I am blessed to have that so evidently in my life. 

bittersweetness.

22 more days of school.
life itself, for now, isn't that wonderful.
then again, it is.

this has all been a whirlwind to me, but a few (amazing) changes have occured lately!

• Canon Rebel (lovelovelovelovelovelovelove)
• Honda Pilot (superlovelovelovelovelovelove)

I cannot BLOG about how excited i truly was about both of these changes!

so long, black chevrolet. You've got some memories inside those six windows, held secrets that no one will ever know, gone places i loved to be, heard my laughs & cries throughout the course of our rides. You've traveled many miles with me, and i will truly miss you......especially during hunting/fishing seasons.

Easter Sunday was nice. Mom cooked breakfast, but of course I slept through it. Church put on a cantata, and it was simply amazing. I loved the songs, and I also loved that the church was jam packed. It is somewhat sad to me that I hardly see some of those people unless it's due to a holiday. That's a whole new post, though. :) Instead of turning over that bucket of water, here are some pictures. 

(ignore my "i've been asleep hair"; it wasn't cooperating today.

and along with my yellow, yellow, yellow (you can't see, but I have yellow nails!) SPRING IS HERE!

and i could not be more thrilled. Hello, summer.
