Happy Easter!

Christ the Lord is risen today...alleluia!  Hope y'all had a fabulous Easter!  We went to church and lunch with my parents today.  The weather today was gorgeous--sunny and warm.  When we got home, I took a nap, cleaned, and relaxed.  

Our dog, Spot, had to spend the night Thursday at the ER vet and then at the regular vet all day Friday.  She came home Friday night.  So with her home and happy this Easter, we couldn't ask for anything more!  God is good!

Update on recent happenings!

Gosh, I'm a horrible blogger!  It's been an entire month...and I've been busy!  I was back to school last week after being off for Spring Break the previous week.  During Spring Break, I was busy with wedding preparations for my sister who got married last weekend!  It was beautiful and I can't wait to tell you all about it in an upcoming blog post!

In other news, I'm excited to say we are moving into a house!  Wahoo!  It's a cute little brick ranch house about 2 miles away from our current apartment.  We are still just leasing--it's not the time to buy since we are not sure where we'll end up next year when Andy graduates.  Regardless, we're extremely excited! 

I truly believe this rental house is an answered prayer.  After giving our 60 day notice at our apartment complex, I started getting stressed and worried that we would not be able to find anything we liked at the right price and in the right location (Smyrna is very hit or miss).  Well I started praying about it and low and behold after work a couple Fridays ago I drove down the street that I like, turned the corner, and there was a new for lease sign!  The realtor, owner, and current leasers were standing in the driveway talking and I opened my car door and asked if the house was still available.  They said yes and invited me in to look around!  The price was right, the area was right, and I knew it was the one!  They actually had just put up the for lease sign 15 minutes before I pulled up.  Talk about perfect timing! :)

I thought that it would be difficult convincing the husband that this was the one--but it actually wasn't as difficult as I thought!  

So, we signed a lease 3 days later and we move in May 21st.  Now to start thinking about packing everything up!  Pictures to come.
Hope you have a fabulous week!
