easter holiday

(sorry this is late. too much is going on, and there's not enough of me to keep up at the moment.)

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter spent with family and friends. Unfortunately, Justin and I could not go to church Sunday to celebrate the Resurrection, but I did find this image (on Pinterest, who would have imagined) that I'm just currently obsessed with for this time of the year. 

It's Matthew 28:1-10, if you can't read it :)

This will definitely be something that I will want to print out and frame for Easter decorations (much better than rabbit figurines everywhere).

Now onto why Justin and I didn't go to church. No, we're not heathens (I don't think), our plans were changed in the middle of the day Thursday, and instead of heading to Franklinton to be with Justin's parents, we packed up and left Madison at 6:30 Thursday night headed towards Chattanooga. Melissa, Justin's sister, was admitted back into the hospital that morning with labor pains, bless her heart. Needless to say, we thought we might have babies this weekend, but it was a no go. We still got to spend time with Justin's parents, and it was a bonus to see Melissa and Matt (her hubby). For a small woman pregnant with twins, she is the cutest, I must say. Hopefully God will be as kind to me and I can be a cute preggo too. Melissa is doing well (as any 35-week lady with twins), and is going back to the hospital tomorrow to begin real labor, so keep the three of them in your prayers. Wish Justin and I could have stayed longer, but to be honest, we would have just been in the way. I am excited to be an aunt (in-law?) anytime soon though!

Anyway, we decided to make the most of our trip. Justin went fishing with his dad and brother, and I had some time to do my never-ending Cost homework (seriously, even the teacher says it's too much work). We even took in a baseball game!

not bad seats for $5! and the beer was cheap too!

i really do hate baseball. but love this guy.

Other than that, we just soaked up family time together, and headed back to the MS Sunday afternoon. Oh, and by the way, our lovely Easter lunch was brought to us by Moe's Southwest Eatery. It was delicious, but nothing like Mom's deviled eggs. Sunday night I had a group meeting so I didn't even have time to take Justin home. So yesterday, we went to Madison to have our belated Easter lunch (my mother willingly cooked a ham, green beans, potato casserole, and made deviled eggs basically for the second day in a row so that I could get my fix, aka, I love that woman to death). I spent some much needed Madison family time, and skipped my morning class today to sleep in. 

Now things are back to normal with a Cost test on Thursday. I should have started studying tonight, but things don't always go the way we plan. And I'll live (and hopefully my grade will too!).

Hope everyone else has a productive week. If you need me, I'll be in a corner on campus somewhere learning about spending and efficiency variances and budgets!
