Christ is Risn'

HE IS RISN' INDEED!

Happy Easter to my family, friends and blog followers alike!

Eric and I woke up this morning at 5:40am and went to the Sunrise service at church.

I remember going to the Sunrise Service when I was a kid, I remember being so sleepy and falling asleep in the pew's. I remember then going to Grandma's for a big meal or home to squander our Easter basket treats. I remember my family getting sick and going to the service with just my Dad and Brother and my Brother having to spend most of the service in the bathroom being sick.

There are so many good memories of Easter from my childhood but today I add another memory of which I won't soon lose the feeling of. Sunrise Service at Grace. I had never gotten my sorry but out of bed to go to the Sunrise service. This year I felt compelled to go early so I had the whole day ahead of me on a Sunday (which is rare). There were maybe 80 people in church this morning, we ripped the black veil off of Jesus and sang Hymns accapella. I have discovered I'm a bit of a Hymn Junkie. I love them! We then all gathered around the alter and communed each other. It was a wonderful service and I hope to make it our Easter tradition.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter...
CHRIST IS RIS'N ... HE IS RIS'N INDEED!!!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
