Come May 14 our house will be done! It has gone up so darn fast... it almost makes me wonder if they are doing it right. But of course they are, and we are grateful for that. We can't actually move in until June 18, due to loan issues and Jesse's official start date at his accounting firm.
We know the house is a bit far out of town (by Ryan Airfield), but it will be so nice to finally move out of the one bedroom, 375 sq feet we are currently in, and into a real house with real sq. footage, more than one bedroom, and an actual backyard. Although, I'm afraid the house will have to remain empty until we actually can afford furniture to fill all the rooms!
Moving on to Easter.... I must say I love Easter, almost as much as I love Christmas. For a couple reasons:
- It is during my favorite time of year, Spring!
- It involves rabbits and chicks, and little ducklings, and I love animals!
- It involves coloring eggs, and I love to be creative
- It reminds me of new life, and rebirth, and the amazing power of the ressurection.
- And most importantly It is another day that I can devote totally to remembering Jesus Christ, and the trully amazing gifts he gave us of atonement and ressurection.
- And also because it gives me the chance to take cute pictures of my daughter eating jelly beans, which just happen to be one of my favorite candies!
This is a few pictures of coloring eggs this year... and you may think, Wow! Lyla sure got big fast, and her hair turned black...but no this is our cute little neighbor Nivedita also known as Dolly to all us here at University Arms Apartments. This is her first year celebrating Easter. Her parents are from India and they are Hindu. So it was extra special to have them color eggs with us this year. We had such a good time... and soooo much Candy!
And last but definately not least... here is my man eating his most favorite treat besides eegee's french fries with ranch... a huge chocolate milk shake! And yes, I made it in a flower vase, I didn't have anything larger. And it had to be large, because it was his birthday.
