Happy Easter To All!

Jay is away on a bachelor party/golf weekend in Tyler, so I've had the day to myself. I spent the morning with a large group from church doing an Easter service project. We all went to an apartment complex where the majority of families are non-english speaking. We painted faces, played soccer games, grilled hot dogs, and had an easter egg hunt. But most importantly, we shared the true message of Easter and what Jesus did for all of us over 2,000 years ago. It was such a great time!

I also just finished up a little home decorating project for our new house... I took plain white lamps and covered them with fabric and ribbon to add a little personality. I guess HGTV is starting to rub off on me! Here are the before and after pictures:

As for the new house, we are having the popcorn ceilings removed Tuesday. Then we can begin the painting and cleaning process and move in the 25th! We are getting excited, although it will be a little sad to leave the apartment where we first lived as a married couple... sniff sniff.
