Post-Easter

Yesterday was a wonderful day for us. So wonderful that I didn't even stop to take pictures. It was nice just to live in the moment and enjoy it. We spent the majority of the day with Michael's family. It was one of the best Easter's I've had in a long time.

In the last couple of years, these Resurrection Eggs have become one of my favorite Easter traditions. Every year Drew uses them to tell the Easter story multiple times in the days leading up. Yesterday he had quite the captive audience when Val (Michael's aunt) had everyone sit in a circle in the living room so Drew could tell the story. Every year he tells some part of the story a little funny, although he gets more and more accurate as he gets older. (Bummer!) This year's funny part had to do with Jesus riding the donkey into Jerusalem. The way Drew told it, the people were waving "pom pom branches". Next year Nick should be able to tell the story. That'll be fun!

Thursday was such a nutty day for me.... one of those days where my frustration level was very high, my head hurt and I wanted to strangle someone. It started when I had to spend 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Verizon trying to get my internet connection to start working again. That in and of itself is enough to drive a person batty. Then my downstairs phone battery died. And the upstairs one needed to be recharged. Something else happened too, but I think I've mostly managed to block it all out. Thankfully the day got better and better as it went on.

Saturday Michael & I (and the boys, and his parents) looked at another house. It was a gorgeous house in a gorgeous (very remote) setting in the hills; however, it had just as many negatives as it did positives.

The boys helped Michael fix our gates and that night Michael & I watched "The Passion of the Christ" after the boys were in bed. I couldn't handle watching that movie very often because it is so intense, but this year I just really wanted to remember what Easter is all about.

Things are really hopping for the April wedding I'm doing. Call me crazy, but I love it... I relish all of the organizational aspects!

Today I hand-delivered a letter to someone who is going to be having a huge Grand Opening in a few months. My dad gave my business a "plug" yesterday with this person and so I wanted to follow up ASAP to see if I could land them as a client. If I do, it will be huge. I realize that I am being very vague here and that is on purpose. I hesitate to divulge my leads publicly until it has been decided whether or not they will come to fruition. That's the same reason I didn't divulge the identity of the wedding site manager I met with a week and a half ago who is considering me as their preferred Wedding Planner.

It's officially the start of Spring Break today! I wondered what I would do to keep the kids from getting bored all week, but my week has quickly filled up already. How did that happen???? Right now the boys are happily playing downstairs with Jordan (my cousin's son). They're playing some kind of Transformer/Dinosaur/Boxing/Shooting make-believe with a little of the Easter story thrown in for good measure. I love their imaginations!
