Easter and Such..

Easter... Well, this year for Easter weekend we went to Searcy, Arkansas. We left Thursday morning and drove 13 hours... Fun Fun. Actually the boys did great and I was so proud of them, but we were super happy to finally arrive safe and sound. :) We went along with 3 other adults, 6 of the youth group boys, and our 2 boys. Once we got there, we checked the boys into the dorms at Harding and then headed to Brittany and Brad's house. It was so good to see them and be there with them. They have a precious house and Britt had it all set up with us complete with new pjs on the bed washed and ready for David and I! So sweet! They made Ty and Tuck Easter baskets which they broke into right when we arrived. :) Friday we got up and hung out at the house. Brad had to work and Britt had an exam. Afterwards we went to lunch and then headed to Harding to see the Chunns. Lindsey had a chorus concert thing so we went and listened to that. Afterwards we all went out to eat to celebrate Austin and Lindsey's engagement!! :)

We then went back to B & B's to hang out. Saturday we were lazy. Britt took Ty to the park and then we all went shopping at a flea market and hung out a bit before we left to go to Spring Sing. Britt and Ty also dyed easter eggs! :) B & B kept Tuck since it would be late when we got back. After the show we went to Lindsey's parents house for another celebration. One of Lindsey's aunts made the boys these cute sugar egg things. They each had a little scenery inside. One had a duck and one had a rabbit. That was so sweet of her. (We hadn't even met her before that day!) Then, Sunday we got up at 5 and headed home. It was a quick trip but was so glad to be able to do it! At first Tucker wasn't too sure of Brad but by the end of the weekend they were best buds. I'm just mad we didn't take more pics!!

We made it home in good timing and went straight to bed! :)

The next weekend I got to go to Highlands, NC with some of my friends from here. Actually, 2 of the girls (Karen and Mandy) have already moved, but they came back to go with us. We rented a house there and really just relaxed most of the weekend. It was beautiful there. We slept in, watched the royal wedding, ate a ton of yummy food, got in the hot tub everyday, went shopping, hiked the waterfalls, and just enjoyed each others company. It was a much needed break and I'm so thankful it worked out for me to go. Thanks to David for keep the boys and surviving. I think he had a little help from his sweet sister. :) Friday night their grandparents were traveling through so they got to go to dinner with them. I hate I missed it, but so thankful that they were able to see the boys. From the sound of it, it was quite an eventful dinner, the boys thought it would be fun to add a little chaos to the mix. :)

We had a great couple of weekends and are so very blessed to be able to go and do like we do. :) Hope everyone had a great Easter and got to spend it with their family (at least some of them!)
