Easter

Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!! I am sad this will be the 2nd year in a row we are missing Easter service at Church due to moving. Its so funny, it is the SAME day we moved here to Ohio last year, April 25th. Crazy, Ironic, I think so!
Easter is such a special time for me, I have fond memories of it growing us..My mom always made us a special basket, and got us something she knew we would love..but, her true emphasis was on Jesus and taking us to Church that morning. I was raised in Church, and was there just about every time the doors were open, but I knew Easter was special.
It was always kindof sad to me to see how crowded that Sunday was, so many people just go to Church on Easter...I never understood, did they think they were doing Him a favor?? You gave your son..who died for my eternal life..I will go to Church one time a year?? BUT, maybe that one time would plant a seed and get them to see what Church is really about. Its about growing in our walk..about fellowship with other believers, its about showing Him he really is important. I am so blessed to have had parents that raised me going to Church, but, never pushy about it. I saw Jesus in them, I saw their walk, and that's what made me want to go. To me, that is what Easter is about..not the Easter Bunny.. about a God would LOVE me unconditionally, that he gave his ONLY son for me. Amazing. I can't say I could do the same. Presley is my heart. And now, that I am a parent, I truely see HIS love for me. I can only pray that I make him pleased with my life. I hope others see Him in me. I hope my little girl learns to love her creator, and see the important of what Easter is.. Not get wrapped up in a bunny, candy, or things.
I am so thankful for my salvation, and a God that like the verse in Hebrews says, "Will NEVER leave or forsake me."
This video is AMAZING! Praise be to Jesus, HE IS ALIVE!!


ON a different note.. MOVING day is MONDAY!!

A bunny shirt and some distressed furniture...

Here is my little angel in her PRECIOUS new bunny shirt..made by sweet friend, Suzy. She is starting her own shop on etsy..and had me take pics for it. This is what she has made for P so far. We LOVE it!!

Showing me how a bunny "hops!"

I can't believe I FORGOT to take a before picture.. Picture a plain brown table. Got it.. OK.. Now, this is the beautiful creation I turned it into during Presley's nap today.
I used sandpaper, lots of MY muscles (lol), and off white spraypaint, and a little distressed ink. Wha la!
I am changing up the decor in my living room..I have had RED ever since we got married.. But, being a practical girl, I am moving red into my kitchen..But, the living room needed a little change. So, excited!! Found two of the pillows below..and I have a gorgeous plan for the living room.. YAY, for change!! You will have to wait until we get in our new place to see what I have in mind.. This table will be in it for sure!!

One more of my little girl :)

Still waiting on the movers to call.. UGH.. I am such a planner.. I need to have a date..But, I am staying positive..for now :)

enjoying this beautiful day...

We love the weather in Ohio.. Matt and I joke that we never remember sweating last spring/summer. There's always a breeze, and its just not really humid, like the good ol' south. I am really going to MISS this!! I am trying to go outside everyday..just to enjoy it. Last week, we went house hunting in Nashville, and it was ALREADY HOT!! ugh. NO fun!! But, I will survive. :)
We found a townhouse..and we are super excited about it. Its located in Brentwood, and only about 20-25 min from just about everything..including airport, and Matt's job. Also, Dolly Parton lives very close. Maybe I will run into her at Kroger. lol
I will get pictures of it once we get everything moved in and decorated. Its a 3 bedroom + bonus room, 2 1/2 bath, kitchen, living room, and garage. Just perfect for us. We thought renting was the best option again, because we will probably only be in Nashville 1year-18 months.

I am so ready for the move to be over. Thankfully, Carmax is great and moves us. They pack up everything!! I don't lift a finger.. just gotta work this week on getting things organized. We will most likely be moving the week after Easter.. which is too funny..because we moved last year on the 25th of April..it just may happen again on the same day.

I am so blessed to have this sweet P to enjoy this great weather with. She is such a JOY!
I can't wait to get to our new place and take her somewhere great for a "real photo shoot" This was in our little yard..and I just love the trees and how beautiful they are blooming at the moment. God is so good. I am seeing his grace more and more these days.
LOTS of pics :)

Singing "You are my sunshine.." LOVE!

LOVE This PICTURE!!
