Still Here…

Whew…these past few weeks have flown by!  We had an amazing Easter…even though we didn’t get to travel back home to be with family.  Instead, we were able to celebrate our Saviour with our church family.  It was a great afternoon with food and fellowship…and of course, an Easter Egg hunt.  This past week I got the chance to stay over at my parent’s house on the way to a college fair in Peoria.  As always, it was nice to snooze in my old bed.  The college fair was really good too…always a bonus!  I stopped by my grandma’s house…where she had saved me a bag full of ham loaves from Easter.  (One of my favorite meals there!)  I was super excited to prepare them for Jared last night…since he’s never had them.  At first he thought the texture was a little strange…but then he gave them a thumbs up.  If you’ve not had ham loaves before…it’s almost like meatloaf…but with pork products and a tangy tomato sauce…quite yummy with mashed potatoes!  (Thanks grandma!)  On another note…since we’re still cleaning up the basement (thanks to the crazy amounts of rain in our area), we’ve been having fun camp-outs in the living room.  We pulled out the sofa bed and have been watching lots of fun movies.  Not something for every night…but definitely a fun little “retreat” for a few days.  It’s raining again here…and there’s more water in the basement again…so that will probably consume a chunk of our weekend.  Otherwise…I’m looking foward to sleeping in tomorrow…finally!  Adios!
