this was a great Easter. i can't remember a better "adult" Easter. Easter is my favorite holiday. why? besides the fact that it is a holiday commemorating the grooviest event of all, Christ rising from the dead in victory, it is the holiday with the annual Church breakfast buffet. bacon! the king of meats. i love breakfast buffets. and this year... I'M PREGNANT! piles of food without the embarrassment! no one looks twice at a pregnant lady pigging out. i had bacon, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, pancakes, strawberries, and topped it off with a waffle. then i sat back, took a deep breath, and radiated happiness. it was like a good coffee buzz. the "glow" today was not due to jack. it was probably bacon grease. bacon!
i got two sweet gifts today. the first was a coloring book page colored especially for me by one of my sunday school students. sarah is a sweet, redheaded second grader. she had rolled it up and tied it with a ribbon. awwww! she's always making me things.
the second gift was from a lady in my church named tedi. for those of you reading this who grew up with me here in rural mn-land, you remember tedi. she used to own the "oasis" drive-in and i bet you still reminisce about the oasis burgers (with or without "goop". make mine without goop.) and the frosty mugs of root beer. tedi has noticed my frantic fanning every blooming sunday with whatever is available... usually a church bulletin. so, she got me a personal fan! she didn't even know i have been searching for one! how thoughtful! she even included batteries. bless her. i told her i had been getting thumb cramps from fanning with the bulletins. true! it's a little loud for use during the service, but i used it during singing and music specials. i am totally bringing it to work.
the Easter message was great. it was on "what does Easter mean to you?". it was a packed house. it was pretty cool when dr. rosenbaum sang "it is finished". he "moved" jack.:) literally. i will have to tell him; he'll be so pleased.
after church i came home and went right to business... a two hour nap. we celebrated Easter at home this year, just the 4 of us! hooray! how relaxing. after my nap i got up and boiled eggs and potatoes. i made deviled eggs, potato salad and mashed baby red potatoes. as soon as i think my husband has had a long enough nap on the couch i will go put the steaks on the grill. (first brushing away any snow accumulation on the lid).
eventually we will put our church clothes back on and head back to church for evening service at 6pm. dan and i are scheduled for nursery duty tonight. it's dan's first time.:) i bet he'll be fabulous at building block towers with the toddlers. i want to cuddle some babies.
