Easter 2012

April 9, 2012 | family, fitness, running, Uncategorized

happy Better Monday! (Get it, Good Friday…better Monday?) Ok, so so not so funny. I tried. Either way, I hope your Easter weekend was a great one. Mine is still going, as Bobby is off work today instead of being off last Friday. Fine by me, three day weekend either way! Having the third day off makes a huge difference, don’t you think?

Here is a look at what our Easter weekend looked like…(and you can check out last year’s Easter Weekend, too.)

Saturday, we got up and went for a six mile run on the very steep bridge and back, and along the beach. it was windy, but a beautiful day, and we had a really good run. On the way home we stopped by a little farmer’s market.

Bobby bought some tomato plants to add to our garden, and we bought the most amazing garlic and olive oil flatbread. We put cheese on it and put it in the oven…oh so good!

That evening, we decided to go blackberry picking. It’s still a little early, but we were able to get some. We found a ton of them in both the empty lots next to us, so I know where I am going in about another week! (We got more than this, I just took the picture right when we started.)

We also visited with the Easter bunny. He couldn’t talk long, he said he had a very busy night ahead of him.

We planted the new tomato plants in the garden, and picked some flowers to put in vases in the house. I thought this one was really pretty.

We also did the traditional dying of the Easter eggs. If you know me at all you know I am all about traditions.

All done!

Yesterday morning, we went to church…and I was glad to be able to wear white shoes again.

HAPPY EASTER!

    That’s so cool that you guys dyed eggs! I haven’t dyed them in a long time. Looks like you had a fantastic Easter weekend, too!

    Looks like you guys had a great time! Our weekend was long with Friday off, and we went and saw The Hunger Games. Then Saturday I had a race (PR’d and got 3rd in my division!) and yesterday I spent the day at my aunt’s house stuffing my face. That, of course, led to a horrible night’s sleep and now I’m super tired at work!

    We don’t really celebrate Easter, plus we live pretty far from our families so we didn’t do anything. But I love your Easter outfit – it’s so perfect for spring!

    I made Easter lunch for us and the neighborbors and then we hid eggs for the kids to find. It was such a beautiful day and I sat in the sun and soaked up the vitamin d.

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you don’t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.

2016 was a VERY big year for us. Moving states. Running multiple businesses. Being accused of getting a divorce. 🤣🫣 People are wild, yall. 

Looking back they were some hard, wild times and I now know more hard times were ahead for us, but I wouldn’t change any of it. I know it’s part of our story, God had a plan, and there is a reason for it all. Just gotta keep keeping on! ❤️

If you’ve been feeling behind, exhausted, or like nothing you do is ever quite “enough”… maybe it’s not because you’re failing, maybe it’s because you keep raising your bar.

Growth isn’t always loud. 👈🏻
Take some time to look around and celebrate the small steps.
