Can I just start by saying I hope you all had a blessed and fun Easter weekend. I sure did! Hands down the best Easter weekend I have ever had. Much, much, much needed! As some of you know my weekend starts on Thursdays now, and it is nice. After I got out of class on Thursday I got the pleasure of eating lunch with two of my great girlfriends, Blair and Haley. We are all three so busy so we very rarely get to catch up. We laughed and chatted over two All-Americans and a chef salad from Duffers. It was such a treat to have both of them with me. Later on in the evening I met up with my two older cousins, Ang and Lauren, and the laughs continued over Zeng’s Garden Chinese food. Yum! As if the day couldn’t get any better, we then traveled over to Holden Beach to Paradise Café to watch my brother play drums with my boyfriends brother, Will, and his band Jaded Mayberry. I’ve seen them play quite a few times and I have to say this was one of my favorites. Everyone was full of energy and I knew every song! If you haven’t heard them play before, you’re missing out.

Sunday was the BEST! The Easter Bunny stopped by and left me a sweet pink basket full of all my favorite candy, a new bathing suit, and the new Rascal Flatts CD--Changed! (Thanks Mom & Dad! (:)  I got the opportunity to go to Sunday morning service with The Hickman’s at New Beginnings before I had to be at my church. Worship was fabulous and The Easter message is always touching. Our Easter service at my church was a little different; we always have a short performance before the message begins.  The 5-12 class performed a song they wrote, and the dance and drama team performed two numbers. I wish I had a video of ours—but here is a version from YouTube of one skit we did. Ours was more family friendly but this one is good too. Very realistic, and eye-opening!
