Wow! What a busy weekend it has been! Today should be my wind-down day, but instead I get to try to catch up on all the stuff I needed to do during all the other days this week I was so busy! So here's what's been up:

First, we sold our house on Friday!!! Thank you to everyone out there who has prayed or hoped for us to get it sold. I guess it's not 100% sure yet, but even just the thought of it being sold is enough for me! The guy wants to rent it for a couple of months while he gets his stuff in order, and he wants to move in Friday. So, we have to hurry and get our stuff out, but hey, that's fine by me! We are not making any money on it, but that's much better than losing our credit for seven years! Hooray! Thank you again, everybody, and let this be my testament to the wonderful things that God can do if you really believe He's working for you!

Yesterday was the Easter egg hunt at church, then TJ's birthday party. It was such an awesome and fun day! First, we went to church and TJ made some nifty crafts with Nana, and then he searched for some eggs. We thought it was funny, b/c they had the 2 and unders go into this little courtyard at the church where there is a statue in the middle. There were all kinds of eggs up at the top of the statue, which stood about 5 feet high, and was surrounded by a low brick wall and pretty flowers. What a perfect place for people that are 3 feet and under to look for eggs! Yes, so we took TJ and threw him right up into those flowers, and said, "Have at it!" Ahh, the safety of finding eggs! It was fun, though, and he had a great time! Gayle (Nana) missed TJ finding eggs, b/c she got way too wrapped up in the crafts they were making, and told us to go on ahead of her. By the time she got there, it was over (those parents are cut-throat!), and she was upset. She said, "Come on, TJ, let's go find some eggs somewhere else." Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that there was nowhere else to go! Oh well.

Next was TJ's birthday party. It worked so well, or so I think. There were forecasts of rain yesterday, and the morning was looking pretty overcast, but we carried on in the hopes that it would not spoil our party. It was Family Fun Day at Finley Park (it's a HUGE park), and there were all kinds of rides and kiosks and the like out there. The place was a madhouse. We went over to the playground, where I had originally planned to go, and after eyeballing and hinting at wanting the only picnic table there for about half an hour, the lady got up and we stole it from her! We had a picnic and played at the playground and talked for a while. It was fun! The sun quickly came out, so much so that TJ, Trey, myself, my mom, and probably many others got pretty burnt! Now tell me God wasn't looking out! It was great! TJ had a blast playing with the ten million other kids at the playground, and hopefully so did all the other kids. I love Finley Park. They have a really neat and big playground. We had watermelon, pb&j sandwiches, chips, cokes and Capri-Suns, and cupcakes in ice cream cones. I would like to mention that if you think it would be fun to make cupcakes in ice cream cones, I hasten you to rethink that. It's a PAIN IN THE BUTT! I digress....TJ got every Elmo toy in the universe, I think, and Trey is super thrilled at that. The Silly Parts Talking Elmo is my favorite one. My mom "loves" me, and decided to get TJ a brand new keyboard, with lots of buttons and drum sounds, and a groovy new guitar! For those of you w/kids already, you know now just how much my mommy "loves" me. For those of you w/them on the way, these toys are what we call "Grandma's house toys". TJ really loves these toys. I really love my mommy...really, really love her....He got some cool books and a fishing game, too. I know there's more, but I can't think right now, so....Thank you to everyone who came yesterday. I really appreciate you coming out to hang out and have fun with us. TJ (and Trey and I) are lucky to have such great people in our lives!

Well, that's really about it, I guess. When I write it down, it doesn't look like as much, but I sure am tired from it all! I'm going to try to put a few of the best pics on here for you to see, and I'll try to find a way for everyone to see the rest if they desire (I took quite a few). Alrighty, you guys have a great day, and I'll see you soon!
