Easter

I was going to post a video of Alex's first Easter Egg Hunt, but the video thing was taking forever or not working right. I'm not sure. Poor guy was sick! He had the flu.

Alex is sick again today. He has a cough/cold. I was all ready to go to bible study today. I did my homework way ahead of time so I wouldn't be stressed at the last minute to get it done. Then, wouldn't you know, Alex woke up in the middle of the night all snotty, coughing, and wouldn't go back to sleep. Nathan was really sweet and got up with him and took him out onto the couch where they fell asleep together. So cute! Reminds me of having a little baby again every time Alex is sick. I want one of those! I've been really struggling between trusting God to give us a baby in His timing and trying to make it happen right now. I have a hard time with this because I always think that I can make things happen on my own. I'm starting to turn my will over to Him though and it feels really good. I shouldn't be worrying when I know that God has a plan for us and His plan always turns out to be way better than what I can think up of on my own.

Well, since I didn't go to bible study this morning, I figured I would do something productive. I had Nathan pull the stove out so that I could get the wallpaper off the wall behind it. Man, it's hard work. I just have a smaller section left to do back there. Then, I have to get behind the fridge. That'll be fun! Haha. But, then all I have to do is putty the walls and sand them down. Then, it's painting time! I'm uber excited about that.

The other day we finally got around to cleaning out the garage. It was a disaster! The laundry room was so messy I had hardly any room to do laundry. It so nice and clean now and the laundry room seems huge compared to how it was.

On Saturday I'm going to go get a massage. I'm so excited! This girl from Nathan's work and I have been talking about doing it for a while. Then, on Sunday, we have a girls shooting class thing. Learning how to draw from a purse and such. It should be cool. Nathan and I went last night and I'm starting to do pretty good. We were going to save our targets to hang in the garage, kind of like a competition, but he threw mine away. waahhh! I almost went dumpster diving for it.

Oh, and Joy, I just found out that we'll probably be in California when you're out here in Kansas in the beginning of May. Can you believe it? I'm disappointed!

I'm totally in the same spot with you on the whole baby thing. It's a daily struggle isn't it. So you guys bought your tickets to CA? Hey, how did you get your profile picture up? I have been trying and trying, but it will never load mine. Hope Alex feels better soon! And dude, your kitchen remodel is getting closer to the finish line, yay!!!! Good job on getting your homework done early; hopefully next week you'll be able to go. Are you still in Esther or have you started the study on prayer?

Well, if you're not leaving until the 2ond you better plan on hanging out on the first! Otherwise I'll have to beat you up. I want a baby too.

Ya, we'll be out there on the first anyway, cause we have to drop chalupa off.
