Happy Easter

Thank you Diana for the beautiful picture you made :) 

Easter has come, and gone..  It was a nice weekend.  I got out of a dentist appointment that I shouldn't have cancelled, but I was able to take a nice little shopping day with my daughter and did some dress shopping for myself, with no 2 year old at tow.  It was nice to just shop and relax and have a nice lunch with my daughter, although I did all my shopping at one store.  We should have gone to see a movie than spend the rest of the time at that huge mall.  I'm not a Valley Fair person...(it's a huge mall in San Jose)  Nope...  No thanks...  Just too overwhelming for me.  I like the mall near my home--it's big enough, but not too overwhelming.  Nope--I don't shop at Nordstroms, Tiffany's or Coach----you can spend your money there--not I. 

Anyways, I went to church on Sunday with my two oldest children, and despite the really annoying married couple that took control of the Easter hymns, it was a beautiful service.  We exchanged chuckles each time the wife kept on saying, "Y'all, and "heehaw", and "cool"...  I'm sorry, but---I just am not used to hearing those terms during a church service.  It feels too much like a made for T.V./reality show...  Oh well, it was entertaining to say the least..  It just takes awhile to get used to it, I guess.  The sermon was short and sweet, and touched me.  Unfortunately, I've always had trouble not chuckling in church, since I was a child.  There was always someone who sang to loud, or had their clothes worn inside out, or had their hair piece out of place..  But oh well; that is what makes us human afterall. 

All and all, Easter was nice.  I did miss a few people; but some things are just out of my control.  I must not let it upset me too much.  People can hide for just so long.  OH well..that is all I'm going to say about that. 

I just realized last night that my wedding anniversary is coming up..  :)  Has it been three years already?!  Sigh....  Time flies when you are having fun...

Congratulations on your anniversary ... good for you !  
    I too, have always had a hard time keeping a straight face in church.  When I was a kid, I used to get 'those looks' from my mother, meaning " straighten up! "  But, I always found something funny going on.  The church I go to now has a couple that are in charge of music, and they sound like that couple on 'Saturday Night Live', that sings awful songs in an awful way.  It just cracks me up !  Oh, well ....  Tina

My brother used to be able to blow bubbles off the tip of his tongue and he would do it in church to entertain me. I'm not a fan of church. Incense for some reason makes me nauseous and was even worse kneeling. I would always feel like I was about to keel over.
