A bit of catching up to do:

Much has happened since the Top 10 Reasons to go to the Easter Festival, so here I am to quickly summarize the last week or so in bullets:

• Easter Festival was AWESOME! (We served about 2,000 people!)
• Easter Services were great...Audie and I bought the same shirt and wore them with white capris so that we would be matching...and we told Jenny to wear a similar outfit....
• 

Aren't we just the cutest? :)

• I had a fun Easter afternoon with the Aunt Maggie & Cousins Megan, Tori, and Amanda--we ate & dyed eggs (my first time!!) and watched both Hairspray and Blind Side

This one was my favorite color...
BUT... this one was my favorite...

...because in case you didn't know: "I freakin' love giraffes!"

• Not much has happened since then aside from regular school work & papers being due. (OH, that reminds me!! I got my counseling paper back --I wrote on counseling children of divorces-- and my prof gave me a couple of suggestions for improvement and then asked if once I corrected if he could have a copy to hand out to his patients because the content was so good!!!! I got an 87 on it too--my Turabian citations weren't that great.).
• I had sno cones with my prof's wife Sara last Thursday. Might I say that I just love sno cones? I just love sno cones. Yummm. Made me really miss my sno cone buddy, Kendi, but I was excited to spend time with Sara discussing fun activities for SCS students!!
• AND, the best news of all............................................

I'm officially a SENIOR!!!!!!! only 19 more hours until I graduate!!!!

Top Ten Reasons to Go to the Easter Festival!!!

10. It's Free (hotdogs, sno cones, face painting, games, egg hunts, pics with the Easter Bunny--everything)

9. Anyone and Everyone can come--bring your friends!

8. Stevie G and the rest of the praise team will be mixing it up with some live music!!!

7. Not only are there Easter egg hunts, but they're age appropriate so your sweet 2 year old who is just excited about getting a yellow egg won't be trampled by a ten year old trying to fill his basket, his pockets and his baby brother's basket with as many eggs as he can. :)

6. Pastor John, Audie, Steve, Jenny and I would look quite silly bouncing on the inflatables... I think we should leave that for the kiddos (though the obstacle course inflatable could be a fun staff challenge....hmmm...)

5. Your canned good "entry fee" will be donated to the Food Bank of Corpus Christi and will help feed the hungry in Corpus Christi.

4. If you don't come, I'll have not only a stomachache, but several cavities from eating all the candy out of 4,000 EASTER EGGS!

3. 4,000 Easter eggs are ready to be found.

2. You can get your picture taken with the Easter Bunny!!!

And the number one reason you should come to the Easter Festival: TO HAVE FUN!!!!

H-O-O-K-S game & Easter Festival & more

Today was our church's 8th annual Easter Festival. It was AWESOME. It rained off and on throughout the day, but we still had a blast. Check out PJohn's blog for more info & pictures....

Amanda, Tori, and I went to the Hooks game tonight & had an absolute blast! Those two are crazy-fun. We had second row tickets right on the 3rd baseline. :) It was chilly (even Tori thought so) and I was very much thankful that Amanda had a blanket in her car. We are definitely doing it again soooon (hint hint Amanda...need free tickets again ;) ). Here's a couple pics from tonight...and, unfortunately, I couldn't seem to get a picture with all three of us in it.







On another note, Amanda & I will be running a 5k this coming Saturday. It should be fun...if I make it. LOL.

Beach to Bay is quickly approaching. 5 weeks from today (aah!!!) I got a team together with friends from church (and one from school). It's gonna be a blast. Some of us have started running every morning at 515. I have done that once so far, but I'm going to try to run MWF of this week at 515 and TR I'll go to the gym...But...we'll see how that works. Lord knows how much early mornings & I don't get along. LOL.
Funny story: Last Tuesday, I went and ran with them at 515 & came home to shower & get ready for school. I was so tired that when I got out of the shower & began to put lotion on my legs, I realized that I had only shaved one leg. Genius, I am.
