Pete and I had a very busy Easter weekend. After class last Thursday night, I quickly drove home to Senatobia to spend some time with my family and work at the Closet on Friday. When I arrived at 10 pm, Mom began boiling eggs so that the whole family (minus Pete) would be there to dye eggs together. Love her and Love playing with some easter eggs!
On Friday night, we sent Mallory off to her senior prom and then the family and I went to Oxford for dinner and senior walk out! Cant believe my Mawry is a senior. She looked beautiful and we had a great time at dinner afterwards. Mom and I really wanted to stay and dance, but ofcourse Mallory insisted that we leave :)
Sorry its blurry..
Sibling Love
Pete had to work on Friday so he went straight to Calhoun City and deer camp on Friday night so that he could fish/hunt saturday morning. Alysca and I drove to Calhoun city on Saturday to join the Peden clan and our men for Easter festvities. Ofcourse, I made a stop in Oxford to visit my friend Erin at her store. Its looking cute this Spring! If you go through Oxford soon, be sure to stop at Olive Juice!
The Peden's family church always puts a beautiful fresh flower cross up at Easter, and so Ms. Kristi, Aunt Jane, Alysca, and myself assisted with the cross decorating...IN THE RAIN! but, oh how beautiful it turned out to be! I love fresh spring flowers!
(really bad picture of us , but beautiful cross!)
Pete and I really enjoyed spending Easter Sunday with his family. We were part of a lovely Resurrection message this morning and I am blessed to have joined such a sweet sweet family. But, I have to admit I missed my Lifepoint crew, and Pete and I also missed being at our new little Church - New Journey. If we could have been at three different places this morning, we surely would have!!! Dont worry, since we werent going to be at my house this weekend, Easter Bunny Bobbie fixed us up little Easter baskets and wrapped them in garbage sacks, and put them in my car before I left Senatobia :) I was under strict instuctions to not open until Sunday morning! Thanks Mom, we loved our baskets!!!!
(Ok. so you probably just looked at that picture and wondered why my basket is full of childrens books. Well, they are llama llama books and I have been wanting to start collecting them for awhile. (You can go ahead and laugh and call me a nerd if you want.) But these books are super cute, and they are wonderful speech therapy material...phonological awareness, new vocab, lots of that tricky "L" sound, literacy approach, etc,...and they come with the cutest little stuffed llama in red pajamas!!!! If you are a mom, you need to read llama llama to your little ones.....like now.)
And even through our very busy schedule, I was constantly reminded of Christ's unconditional love. Resurrection Day is not a day just full of cute bright clothes, bunnies, and eggs. It is a day to remember THE sacrifice. And a day to rejoice because HE IS ALIVE!!!! The King of all the Earth died for me, and I didnt deserve it. I am a sinner, I am like Barabbas, and I am like the people who chose to crucify Him. I am unworthy. And yet, He still loves me. That is unconditonal love.
