Packed full

That is exactly what this post is. Packed full of updating. I haven't even posted about Easter yet! Sadly, this post is also pictureless, because my camera has had a rough turn of things.

So, lets start with Easter and work our way forwards!

We had a great Easter weekend! It was busy busy busy! Bow the knee was AMAZING! SO many lives were touched by it. In between the singing, acting, childcare, and videography, my mom's side of the family all came in town! The little brother spent a few days at our house--and rumor has it that him and Mark even went and did karaoke one night! (Man...where is the camera when you need it!!) It was great watching my cousins kids enjoy Easter, and also celebrate the real reason of the day with my kiddos at church and my family.

That day I got a great big surprise...but before I share that with you, meet my car, sharer of many surprises-(granted...this is NOT a picture of my car, becuase lets face it....my car looks a little more....weathered)
So, on with the story. Easter afternoon, I go hop in my car. And to my sandaled, pedicured, feet's dismay, water covers my feet. Not clean water. But dirty, brown water. Over the course of the next few days, my car has to be wet vac'd, the water returns, the smell grows, and now-here I am. With a stinky, falling apart car. I am just so very grateful that it still has four wheels that roll and a seat that I can sit in. And you can bet that I will drive that girl (Yes-girl...Jenny-the Jetta-of course!) until those four wheels roll off and that seat crumbles away.

Let's see, we have covered Easter, and the great car surprise. That just leaves the weekend of party's.

This past weekend was one party-ful weekend. Friday night was date night. Which, since I love my husband, and I love dates, that is totally a party in my book! We ate at a new restaurant and then bowled! Saturday, we had a surprise bday party for my Bampa. He is turning the big 7-5 this week, so everyone came to celebrate! Minus his slight suspcions (aired to his golfing buds), it went off w/o a hitch! Sunday was a bridal shower for my cousin-and it was beautiful! And it of course counts as a party, b/c my cousin's daughter kept saying "Its a church party! Its a church party!"

I believe that covers my whirlwind of a past two weeks. I applaud you if you have made it this far. This was really mostly for the mom's/dad's and documentations sake-but I hope you've enjoyed!
