blessed

i cannot tell you of a time in my life where i felt this blessed.

now, don't get me wrong. the Lord has always blessed me. i haven't always seen it though... and at times i was so caught up in my own troubles and idols to see the wonderful things He had given me.

i just wanted to say that i have some of the best friends a girl could have. i have several different "groups" of them, all of which i adore and make me laugh!! i have been praying for community and "more friends". (ok. that sounds SO junior high) BUT i start to look around and i have that! wow. DOUBLE wow. and then the people at work. as most of you know, i'm not a fan OF my job... and needed to get out of there MONTHS ago. but i have some people at work that would pretty much do anything for me. what more could i ask for??

and then there is my family. gotta love them if they have to put up with me. :) i have the most wonderful sister. we haven't always been the closest (to say the least) but by the Lord's most magnificent grace, we are pretty much everything my mom thought we wouldn't be. haha. i love you amy.

i'll stop now before i get too sappy.... just wanted to say i'm blessed. and most likely if you are reading this, its because of you!

my spring break...

oh yeah. i don't have one. but i did take a couple of days off!!

and since this week was also my mom's spring break, we headed north to visit my sis and the little munchkins! we had a great day! and God gave us BEAUTIFUL weather to enjoy as well! here are some pictures of the day...

here is keely with her necklaces... i'm surprised she could walk! *grin*

the kiddos got some Easter goodies from grammy!! if you glance in aidan's left hand, he is holding some chocolate candy. well, somehow this kid doesn't eat chocolate. WHAT?! he handed the candy over to my sister and said it was "keely's candy"... lol. of course, keely will pretty much eat anything with sugar! thata girl!! she's got "pollock" in her, thats for sure!

keely is meeting "chick"...

and here is the little girl chowing down on her jelly beans!!

they LOVE books!!!
we even had a little Easter egg hunt!

and these were the toys in the Easter eggs! i think amy and i had more fun with them than the kids... as you will see later.... lol.

keely doing some yard work...

amy with SUPER GROVER!!! (and she will kill me later for putting this picture up! but can you see the resemblance??)

but actually, here are the twinkies... 2 of my favorite people in the world!! my mom and sister!

and in case you have forgotten at this point what i look like, here i am... "up close and personal" as my mom says... :)

Happy Easter everyone!!
