Easter Sunday

Hoping everyone had a very blessed Easter Sunday! We spent the day at the Ockanders in Gretna. It was a nice day; I will give it three stars and a wish!

Star #1: The church services in Gretna are always contemporary at 10:45am, and it is so fun to have a band and sing upbeat songs. I always feel the presence of the Holy Spirit when we visit Good Shepherd. Pastor Woerhling is such an amazing pastor...so in tune with the Lord and his people!

Star #2: How can you go wrong with ham, hashbrown casserole, green bean casserole, rolls, jello salad, lemon meringue and peach pies. Needless to say, I am still stuffed, but it was soooo good!

Star #3: The kids had so much fun playing together. Now that Eli and Korben are 2 and 3, the kids can go downstairs and play with the toys, and the adults can visit (or watch golf~ick!). This was the first time that we've really seen that independence and I think they had a great time!





Wish: I know better than to go empty-handed. I typically head into Omaha after we eat for something to do; however, with it being Easter, I didn't do that. I CANNOT just sit....and watch golf....and have minimal conversation. In my family, we visit...about everything and everyone. Jarod's family is just different in that way. So, I usually busy myself with a list of goods that I need, or a book from home, or any handstitching that I might need to do. Today....nothing. I did chat with Kristi on Facebook for awhile! That was a huge treat ~ and I think we came up with a plan for the girls and I to extend our visit to Iowa into Illinois to see the Gudemans, too! So that was great! I did outlast all of the children in coloring, too! They came and left in shifts! Lesson learned...NEVER go empty-handed to the Ockanders. A lesson I learned a long time ago, just something I needed reminding of!

I am looking forward to the fact that we still have another day! I cannot believe that we are a month and a week away from the last day of school! We have so many fun things planned for this summer...but we'll save that for tomorrow!
