Just a few more days....

In a few more days we will be in the burg!!!!! I am going to a teacher in-service in Gatlinburg for marine biology and fossil recognition and I am so excited to get to bring my family along. We are going to have a blast! Raegan is so excited. She and Scott have never been and it has been at least 10 years for me. I will post pictures when we get back. Only 16 1/2 more days of school until summer break! Wooooohoooooo!

Happy Easter!

Today was absolutely beautiful. Raegan and I started off the day by checking to see what the Easter Bunny had left. Then we got ready for church. She twirled and twirled in her dress. She felt so pretty. We met Robin and Haston at church for a great Easter service. After church we went to the fire station to see daddy who was working. I really didn't expect it to be so hard being seperated from him but we sure did miss him. Raegan and I ate lunch at Cheddars and she was so well-behaved. We had fun, girl time. We ordered daddy'd to go and then dropped it off by the station. Then we visted at Papa's house with Papa, Grammy, and Alex. We had fun hunting and hiding eggs. I kept putting them in all the obvious places and my brother was really hiding them. Raegan managed to find all 27 in a short period of time so we had to hide them twice. LOL! He told me to give her more credit and hide them in harder places. She loved the challenge. Again, we were missing daddy. This is the first year that she really got into hunting eggs and her little personality was just bubbling over. After egg hunting we changed clothes and spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the creek.

Thank you Lord for the beautiful day so that we could spend it with the ones we love and share of your mercy and grace. Easter is not about bunnies and baskets but about the sacrifice that was made for us at Calvary so that we may have everlasting life. Not a day passes that I don't think of my Grandaddy and today was no exception. However, I am comforted in knowing that because of Jesus we will be reunited one day. In the meantime, we continue to be thankful and truly blessed.
