Easter Weekend 2012

Well I know I am a little late with this post..but better late than never, right?! I wanted to write about our Easter weekend..which was FABULOUS. First of all, celebrating our risen Savior..doesn't get much more fabulous than that! We are visiting a Baptist church here in Nashville (we love it so much, it's the only one we have visited), and their Easter service was so wonderful! Chris and I are looking to join a church very soon..and it's looking like this will be the one! Of course, there will be much prayer in making this decision, along with some other visits to other churches to make sure we have found the right fit for us..but as of right now, it looks like Woodmont Baptist of Nashville is the perfect fit!! It is a traditional Baptist church, which we love, and it has many people of all ages. They offer a Sunday School class for young married couples, and we are so excited to get involved in that as well! We went to the Easter service with Ms. Lisa, Chris' mom, and his brother, Tripp. Celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is always a moving service, and it was nice to have Chris' family visit the church we have come to love so much. Of course, on top of the amazing church service, the Easter bunny came to our house that morning and delivered baskets full of candy (and bubble bath in mine...my Easter bunny knew I had been wanting a new bottle)! After church, we all came back to our house where I hosted my first holiday dinner in our new little home! I was so excited to plan the Easter lunch menu and do a little decorating for the table. Chris and I dyed Easter eggs on Saturday afternoon, which I put in cute little tabletop Easter baskets for decor, along with fresh flowers for the centerpiece! I even wrote everyone's name on an egg and put it in front of their place setting :). Haha, I know..cheesy, considering we only had four people. But hey, give me a break, it was our first time hosting a holiday dinner!! Wondering what was on the menu? No worries, I will fill you in: Main dish was a baked ham, asparagus and potato dish. It was DELICIOUS and the perfect Easter dish for a small group (instead of cooking a big ham). For side dishes we had squash casserole, deviled eggs, a salad with fresh veggies, and buttered rolls! It was a yummy lunch for sure. Here are some pictures from our wonderful Easter weekend:

I am so excited about our upcoming weekends! This weekend we will be in Oxford celebrating my little sisters birthday and the next weekend we will be in Orlando! Chris met his sales goal for the year at work (he is so awesome)..so we get a free trip through his company! We will be enjoying golf, the spa, and Disney World while on our trip..along with nice dinner banquets with his company and some much needed pool time! Also coming up..Chris' 25th birthday! I have some surprise super fun plans his big day! Can't wait to post pics of our fun adventures coming up! On another note, I have many things in the works for a new teaching job for next school year. I have some interviews coming up..so please say lots of prayers for me! I know God will place me exactly where I need to be. Thanks for reading!!

God Bless!
