^{On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Then they remembered his words. Luke 24:1-8}

 

 ^{Happy Easter Season}

¹⁹ Open for me the gates of the righteous;
    I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
²⁰ This is the gate of the Lord
    through which the righteous may enter.
²¹ I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
    you have become my salvation.

²² The stone the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone;
²³ the Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes.
²⁴ The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.

²⁵ Lord, save us!
    Lord, grant us success!

Psalm 118:19-25

Birthday Boy!!!

March 14th was Tyler's Birthday!!! It was wonderful that it fell over our spring break so we could actually enjoy the entire day!  So here's a list of things we did to celebrate!

Birthday breakfast at Cafe Cappuccino

 Opened birthday presents...new shirt and new book!

Trip to the Cameron Park Zoo!

Home to shower the zoo off, and then dinner at a fancy restaurant (yes, Waco has 2 or 3 of those)!

For birthday dessert...coconut cream pie!

Tyler Bradley, I love you so much, and I'm so happy to have gotten to celebrate your birthday with you! Here's to 27+ more years, more pie, more presents, and more and more fun together!  Thanks for being such a trooper when it comes to my weirdness, and thanks for being weird yourself!

Spring Break

It's time to blog tell you about our spring break this year! 

I don't know how many times I have mentioned this, but we are so lucky to be much closer to our families, and we will continue to be thankful for the this time in our lives!  That being said, we spent the first weekend of our spring break in Allen.  But before we got there, we made a one night pit stop to spend some quality time with our friends Kolby and Emily (and their adorable little boy - Beckett!).  So...there weren't a lot of pictures taken (I meant to take more, but you know...it happens) however, I did manage to snap this one before we packed up and hit the road again.

Oh come on!!!

Then it was through the Big D (and I mean Dallas) and on to Allen...

We had such a good time with our families...eating good food and having good conversation!  I was so happy that I even got to see my BFs Lindsey and Nikki (we missed you Lynley)!  Nikki's daughter (EEEK all my friends are having babies!) came too and we got to all have breakfast together.  I love those girls so much, and I'm so thankful for their friendships! It's always good to catch up, even if it's for a short breakfast.  

Another thing worth mentioning about our trip to Allen...we started watching The West Wing...and that's pretty much what the rest of our spring break looked like...kidding!  But we are definitely hooked!  Just started the third season, and going strong (if only school and work didn't get in the way).  

We came back to Waco on Tuesday, and spent the rest of our time enjoying Waco.  We washed the cars...

Ok...we drove the cars through a car wash.  Worked on schoolwork, went on a run by the river, took a trip to the zoo (more on that) and enjoyed some much needed relaxation!  

Pretty simple, pretty boring, but I have to blog about something!
