Happy Easter!

"Then the angel spoke to the women. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying."

Matthew 28:5-6, NLT

Birthday

Today is my 26th birthday. I am at home with the flu....well, recovering from the flu. I got sick on Wednesday and missed work Thursday. I am normally off Fri-Sun and then the doctor told me not to go back to work until Tuesday so that I wouldn't get anyone else sick and so I wouldn't catch anything else while my immune system is already weakened. So I am on day 5 of my sitting on the couch wathing movies/home improvement tv shows marathon. 5 days of that is really about 3 1/2 days too many. I am feeling pretty good with the exception of a cough. Andy brought lunch home and while he was here the doorbell rang. The FEDEX man brought my birthday present! Andy got me these really cool stackable rings from Sundance (my favorite jewelry place!)

The blue one is technically blue topaz but it look just like aquamarine which is my birthstone. Yesterday Liz and her sister Sus came by on her way to the airport. She was in OKC for a couple of days and we were supposed to meet for lunch on Friday but since I was quarantined I couldn't make it. So she brought me a bday present (some earrings, a scarf, cd, and pjs). Thanks Liz! I tried to wear the scarf this morning but Yoda just kept sniffing me because I guess it smells like Schnoozeberry. I also got to talk to Amy Riedel yesterday! It was so great to hear from her....I havent talked to her in over a year. She is going to become a loyal reader of this blog :) HI AMY!

Liz "tagged" me on her blog probably over a month ago...but I forgot until now so here it goes....

Share 5 random and/or weird facts about yourself on your blog and Share the 5 top places on your “want to see or want to see again” list.
1. I cannot live without Dr. Pepper. And I really like it ice cold, in an insulated mug thingie, with ice and a straw.
2. I really like filling out forms....applications, rebates, warranties, etc. There is something strangely satisfying about completing them.
3. I would have 70 dogs if I had the space (don't worry, I do NOT have the space)
4. My dream house is the house from Father of the Bride.
5. I have never seen the movie E.T.

1. Alaska
2. Europe in general because I can't just pick one place.
3. Australia

4. Hawaii

5. Ireland

Long overdue....

In my last post I forget to mention one of our major highlights of January....Josh, Sara, Jake and Luke came to OKC to visit! (I forgot to post these photos because they were taken with Andy's camera and uploaded on the "other" computer.) So while they were here we went to Pole Position and the guys raced while Sara and I hung out with the Jakester.

Uncle Andy and Jake playing with Grandpa Dave's guitar. Jake loved playing the guitar.

Jake was playing in the office with Andy and Luke and I was sitting in the hallway taking pictures of them. He started to play the open the door-close the door game and this was the look he gave me just before he shut the door in my face. We had lots of fun with our family and we can't wait to hang out again!
