Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everyone!!!! I know Easter was yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to write so I wanted to make sure I acknowledge it today. What a great day we had yesterday. Church was really good!! The music was great and the message was great as well. Pastor talked about "The God of the Third Day". How the first day was very dark, because it was when Jesus died, and day two was spent waiting, not sure what was going to happen, but DAY THREE....that's when He rose and gave us hope and a new life!!! It was so easy to relate to our lives, we all have those days that are really dark (been there plenty), then the days spent waiting and not knowing what's going on, but then there's always that day when Hope comes in and things look up....that's the God of the Third Day. Thank you Jesus, for raising yourself from the dead and giving me HOPE!!! Hallelujah!!! So anyway, we had a nice day. We went to our friend Steph's (well really they're family)house after church and had a nice dinner and played some games. We met some new friends, Krista & Jima and their family who came to dinner as well. It was a beautiful day. What is even more beautiful, is that the kids and I are off from school today!! Easter Monday....just one of the many benefits of going to a Christian School!! So, I got up made breakfast for the kids, downloaded some pictures, sent some email and I'm about to get on the treadmill when I finish this. On another note....The 21 days of no complaining challenge finished today!! Miranda passed with flying colors, I am not so sure about myself, I may need to add a few more days for me LOL. Actually, as I told Miranda, it's not an attitude we should have for only 21 days, but an ongoing process that we should be working on. So, that's what we're going to do.....be aware of our complaining and stop ourselves before we start. Miranda still gets her reward though....she settled for a new Webkinz rather than a trip to American Girl Doll. Easier and less expensive for me! I'm really proud of her though, she really rose up to the challenge. Maybe she is becoming mature....is that a good thing or a bad thing....I'll have to let you know. Okay...well have an AWESOME day everyone!!
