Happy Easter!

Happy Belated Easter everyone!! I had such a wonderful Easter this year. I was kind of worried because I was afraid I was going to be by myself, but I wasn't at all. I found out they do a sunrise service here on Sombrero Beach at 6:30 am! Man, was that early, but totally worth it! It was so beautiful and I went with Sam and Sarah. It is really cool because all the churches in Marathon participate. One church will do the music, the other will do the sermon, the other did communion...it was great! Pastor Peggy from the Methodist church I've been going to for bible study did the message and she was great! It was over by 7:30, so we all went to breakfast after. It was a wonderful way to start the day! We were open at DRC on Easter so I did have to work, but it wasn't too bad of a day. That night, I went over to Catherine's for an Easter dinner! Her family has taken me in as one of their own and they are all such a blessing! We had a great time and I got to play with Ella and Jack and all their new Easter presents. Here are a few pictures from that night.

Me and Ella. She was showing off her new Disney princess stickers :)

We did that bunny puzzle at least 20 times throughout the night! She was so proud of it! haha

And here she is showing off :) She's so cute!

For dinner we had ham, cheese potatoes, green beans (which I ate!!), salad, bread, and bunny cake for dessert! It was so yummy :)

So even though it was my first Easter away from the family, I still had a wonderful day celebrating Jesus and everything he did for us! What a huge praise!

Then, I had Tuesday and Wednesday off. On Tuesday I went to bible study in the morning. I am still enjoying it so much and I'm getting so close with the ladies there. They are so great and I look forward to Tuesday mornings! Next I went grocery shopping and picked up Tyler's favorites things...Oreos and Steaks! haha. Guess you know what we will be eating next week when he's here! And finally I decided to go to the beach for a while. I'm really starting to see these tan lines and I know I need to work on getting rid of them.

Wednesday I had my staff meeting in the morning and then I came back home and took my test for American Lit. It wasn't too hard, but it was not something I enjoyed, I'll put it that way. The best part of the day was that Catherine came to get me and her mom and Pete, her step dad, took us out to lunch! It was such a great surprise and they are just awesome people! They all love Jesus so much and it's so nice to spend time with wonderful friends and family. Then, Catherine and I drove all over Marathon looking for an alterations place. I need to get Amy's bridesmaid dress altered, but for some reason, all the alterations places were closed on Wednesdays! What are the odds?! Oh well...guess we'll go next week. Once I got back home, I went on a cleaning spree. I went and got Jeff's nice dyson vacuum and cleaned the floors in my place. It is so hard to get everything up, because the floor is brick and all the dirt goes into the groves in between the bricks. That dyson...man let me tell you! Worked like a charm! Here is a picture of the beast...

My room is so small, I just had to slide it around like 5 times and I was done! haha...it worked so great. After I cleaned I lit my candle my mom brought me and enjoyed the clean house! Now my room is all nice and clean for Tyler to arrive :)

As I was going back downstairs from returning the vacuum, I ran into Sarah and Dave. They were on there way to go look at a house they are interested in buying. They invited me to come along so I could see the house too. I felt like their daughter tagging along...It was so cool to look around the house, but I had such a hard time imagining my own stuff there and not the people's stuff. It was fun to go to though. We stopped by Sparky's on the way home and I had a salad for dinner...can you believe it?!

Things at DRC are going really good too. I'm getting to do more and more everyday and we've been so busy lately that I've been able to watch a lot of crazy session and learn from them. The dolphins will get bored if you don't do things out of the box and I've been able to watch so many great trainers so such cool things I would have never thought to do. I just love it there and feel so at home. I am so blessed to have the job I do and be so passionate about it at the same time!

BEAR UPDATE: I have a few because he has been making me laugh so many times lately. First, this is him while I was taking my test...he really wanted to help me with my school work so I could hurry and get it done :)

haha...and then this is his new favorite spot!

He has a bed up there and everything and his favorite thing about it is that he can get closer to the moths that fly around in the light fixture...haha. I thought he was going to fall off while he was chasing this one...

He is so crazy, but still the best roommate :) I can't wait for him and Trigger to become buddies and be able to hang out together. That should be fun!

Well thanks for reading! Everyone go to bed early so you can wake up for the Royal Wedding tomorrow at 4 am!!
