I haven't seen you in ages...

Thank you Lady A for putting that song on repeat inside my head.

Last week was spring break. As you know from my post here. This morning it was back to work I go. I woke up at my normal time, went through the typical morning routine (shower, brush teeth, dress, make coffee, make lunch, drink coffee, kiss the hubs goodbye, try not to fall asleep while driving to work...you know, the typical morning routine), made it to work, survived the morning without phones or bells, went through the day, found out we're losing 5 teachers due to allotments, took care of my mom's dog, went grocery shopping, rested/updated the blog design (I get bored easily, can you tell?), and now I'm updating while waiting on water to boil. Oh the joys of life. We're back to normal. 

But that was today.

Yesterday of course was Easter Sunday. It was a whirlwind of a day. We spent the night in Rome with the in-laws so that we wouldn't have to leave the house at 5 in the morning to make it for their annual sunrise service. It was a beautiful sunrise. Of course, I didn't have my camera. But it was beautiful, you can just take my word for it. 
Then it was off to our church. I had to serve in the nursery during the 9am service. It was such a blessing to spend the morning with precious little ones. I just love them. The hubs arrived for the 11am service and relieved me of my duties (also known as dragged me away). It was a wonderful service. It began with a beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace played on the saxophone. I'm still in awe of it. Then our pastor preached it. He is risen!
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures 
(1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 NIVUK)
Next it was off to my parents for lunch. Ribs. Delish. I love ribs. Especially my dad's ribs. I drool over them and request them any chance I can get. 
We finished off the day at the hubs's grandmother's house (I guess she'd be the grandmother-in-law). We spent some more time with his parents, cousins, aunt, sister-in-law, and nieces. It was lovely. We had an egg hunt for the little ones, and all in all just enjoyed each other's company. 

I was exhausted by the time we got home, I wanted to immediately fall asleep. But I was a good girl and waited until "normal time" before I fell into my whims. 

Alas, I hear the water boiling. Time to finish cooking. I'll end this post with some of the pictures I did get over the weekend. We went strawberry picking. Yummy!

A busy life is a good life.

Well. I guess that could be true. 
At least right now I'm busy right now and life is good. 
That's proof enough for me.

I'm on spring break at the moment, but the week leading up to spring break is what I like to have called my "hell week." It was a crazy week at school. I had a major event to prepare for and set up. It was crazy. But in the end it was a success. Parents and students alike had a wonderful time and that's all that matters in the end.

On the up side it's spring break. Thank goodness for spring break. I've spent the past two days organizing and cleaning our master bedroom. It's been left as is since we moved in over a year ago and it's been driving me absolutely bonkers. This spring break I've dedicated my time to fixing the mess that was created. So far I've cleaned out all my drawers, set aside a bag of clothes and things to go to Goodwill, put all my winter stuff away, reorganized my closet, and cleaned off all the unnecessary junk off the dressers and nightstands. And it's only Tuesday! I'm pumped with the progress. I'm just waiting on the hubs to clean out his drawers as well and we'll call it a day.

In other news, I have embarked on a new business venture! Ever heard of Proactiv Acne Solutions? Well, the doctors who created Proactiv have opened up a new anti-aging skin care line and I've partnered with them in selling their skin care line! So you're looking at the new independent consultant for Rodan + Fields! Let me tell you how excited I am about this new venture! It's going to be an awesome ride and I'm so happy to have jumped on the ride! Skin is always in style and these products are amazing!
