Easter Weekend

Casey and I had a wonderful Easter weekend.  It can be hard to be away from family, but we do our best to make the most of it and the time we have just for the two of us… especially since we’ll soon be three!

On Saturday, Casey played a round of golf in the morning and I did a little shoe looking (no buying because I didn’t really find much) and then we met for lunch at Panera Bread.  When we got home, he brought forth a little Easter gift for me: a beautiful gardenia shrub for our balcony.  I don’t know how he does it, because I never told him, but it’s a perfect gift because I’ve been wanting flowers for that space.

He worked most of Saturday afternoon while I did some beginning preparations for baby in the guest room – decluttering and such.  On Saturday night, we had pizza and watched some stuff on the DVR list.

On Sunday morning, we got up for the early Sonrise Service.  It was a great service this year and I loved that they kept it a praise service like the early service is on “normal” Sundays.

After church, I made a delicious breakfast.  Casey had sausage, eggs, and chocolate chip pancakes.  I had bacon, eggs, and strawberry pancakes.

Unfortunately, Casey had to work some more on Sunday afternoon.  While he did that, I continued my efforts in the guest room and also took an afternoon nap.  When I woke up, I made pig cake and then took a walk to the grocery store for some salad stuff, which we had for dinner along with some grilled BBQ chicken.

Although Casey had to work a lot, we’re used to that these days and we’ve gotten really good at just relaxing and enjoying each other when he’s not working. He really is one of my favorite people to spend time with and for that I am so thankful.
