500th Post

 

I have been trying really hard to figure out what to write for my 500th post.  Really, it got here much more quickly than I would have imagined.  (I guess when you write every day, milestones come up more quickly!)  So, today, I’m going to show you some of the Easter goodies and cuteness that were at my house.

 

As you know, we had SONrise Service at 6am on Easter Sunday.  That presents an issue for the Easter Bunny presents/candy.  He normally leaves them, but then the Princess doesn’t get them until after church. This year, she wanted them BEFORE church.  So she got them…..only after she was ready to go for the SONrise Service.

Here is what the Easter Bunny left for the Princess:

(Ignore the Girl Scout cookies and my WONDERFUL Redskins blanket in the background!)

For SONrise, we wear jeans and t-shirts.  Then we go home after breakfast to change clothes.  So the Princess came downstairs to see her goodies!

She was surprised to see that the Easter Bunny also brought her daddy and me something, too.  (She thinks Easter Bunnies are just for kids! Smile)

After church, and breakfast at church, we came home to change.  Since I love (LOVE) taking pictures, the Princess sometimes gets a little aggravated at me…..especially when she has been awake since really early!

 

So I tried to get a good shot:

And tried again:

And again:

Finally, I bribed her (probably with Easter candy) and we got it:

(Isn’t she soooo pretty?!?!)

 

On Saturday before Easter, the entire family went to our parents’ house.  We grilled out, played games, and hid eggs for the kids.  Unfortunately, my camera was dead.  I had to use my mom’s.  I should have just put my card in her camera.  (I may never see those pictures again!)

 

Overall, we had a great Easter!  Now, we are almost finished with Spring Break!  The best part about Spring Break is that when we do go back to school/work on Monday, we have only 9 weeks of class left.  (Can’t believe this year is GONE already!) 

 

Then we have vacations coming in June and July.  The Princess may be having surgery on her ear at the end of the summer, but we are going to have to discuss that further.

 

For today, I’m going to listen to two little girls (we kept the extra for a 2nd night) playing.  Then we have softball practice later!  Games start tomorrow!  (Uniforms tonight!)  I’m getting excited for softball!!  GO TARHEELS!!

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So.....

Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new. However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;) Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :) Until next time........

NC Weather

Image
In the state of NC, we rarely get that BIG SNOW. They used to be more common.  We used to get one huge snow a year.  Now, we are lucky if we get one every 2-3 years.    However, schools are cancelled, delayed, or let out early for weather all the time here.  We haven’t heard anything today about our schools, but we shall see.    It’s all about waiting to see what happens.  Sometimes, I think that God is sitting up there showing us HIS sense of humor.  He lets the weather people tell us whatever they want to tell us.  Then HE decides to have some fun with the weather.  (That’s just my 2 cents!)   Countdown Updates: 0 days until I pick up cookies!  TODAY is the day! They are still calling for “weather,” but they are pushing back the start time to later today. My scheduled pick up time is 6pm. So, we shall see.  It should be fine. Tony is going to drive me there so I’m not having to do it alone.  Then ...
