Sunday's coming!

Wow, this Easter season has certainly been a time of reflection for me.  Our church did the Living Last Supper on Thursday evening.  I was initially skeptical; however, it has really given me much to think about  Jesus's last days before the crucifixition.

Today is a day of cooking and preparing for family tomorrow.  I love to bake and this gives me an excuse to make a yummy strawberry cheesecake and carrot cake muffins (thanks baked perfection for the recipe!)

I am so thankful for this time with family.  Sarah's graduation is so quickly approaching!

Wow-I needed to read this!

I just read the most honest look at hospitality--between Hospital and Hostel!

Who wants to come over tonight?

home alone!

It is Saturday afternoon and i am alone again.  The kids are involved with activities and Steve is at the church.  I have been cleaning out cabinets--wow, we have a lot of junk!--and am simply overcome with emotion at this moment.

Not sure if it is a result of cleaning products (ha ha) or that I am realizing I need to find some other outlets for my time.  Sarah has decided on a school and is speeding towards graduation!  She will be leaving home in a couple of months and she is ready! Andrew loves his momma but doesn't want me around all the time (I guess it would be weird if he did).  What do I want to do with my new found time?

Although I have had issues with balancing work, family and relaxation in the past, I do NOT want work to simply become more important in my life!  Maybe this is my opportunity to grow a real garden or finally learn to sew or perhaps baking (if I choose this outlet, I must find places to give the baked goods).

Steve and I are so blessed-I love my life!
