Easter Blessings

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend spending time with family and friends. I know that I truly enjoyed celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ with my loved ones. There is nothing better than praising God while being surrounded by the abundant love of friends and family. Every Easter my family and I all go to church together and then afterward we get together, enjoy a great meal and simply enjoy one another’s company. It’s so wonderful to be able to see so many family members that I haven’t seen in a while. Being away at college hasn’t allowed me to see my family as much and I am truly thankful and blessed when I am given the opportunity to do so. Easter is truly all about celebrating the blessing that we are given because of Jesus Christ being crucified on the cross for our sins. I know that I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such an amazing and supportive family who also shares a love for Jesus Christ.

How do you spend your Easter weekend? I would love to hear your thoughts and traditions. There are so many ways that people celebrate. Feel free to share and comment below! Again, Happy Easter everyone!

    I am glad you had a great Easter, it is always great to see family and friends. I got the opportunity to spend Easter with my best friend and second family. We were able the attend church and then gather to eat a large meal. My friend has a large family, so she has many siblings. After the meal we hung out for a while playing card games and having some great laughs. A day of relaxation was definitely needed as the end of the semester is upon us.

    Happy Easter to you as well! My family also has traditions that we do every year! This year, my brother and I sand at church, which was nice. My parents really enjoyed being able to see all my siblings together for the first time since Christmas. I have younger cousins and I got to be the Easter bunny and hide all the eggs, so that was fun to watch. Glad you enjoyed your holiday!

    Happy Easter! I am glad to hear yours was great. My family was lucky enough to have some of the other side of our family from Canton drive down and spend it with us. However this just meant more food would need to be made. More people was no match to my mom and my aunts, they still made to much.

Joys of Being Home

Image
Like many of you, I have been soaking in the sun and enjoying this great spring weather we have been having recently in Ohio. Coming from a small town, country background one of my favorite things to do is ride four-wheelers when the weather is nice. While spending this past weekend at home I was able to enjoy some much-needed time with family and friends. On Sunday I went with various friends back to the woods and creek. It was so great enjoying the fresh air and spending time with my friends that I hadn’t seen for a couple of weeks while being at school. I took for granted the relaxing atmosphere of my hometown while being at school. After being home I am so excited for spring to come and stay for good. Here are some pictures from the weekend! There are so many great things about being home. What are your favorite things to do when you visit home? I would love to hear what you do in your hometown.  I am a firm believer in where we come from sha...

Spring Has Sprung!

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo...

Vera Bradley Annual Outlet Sale

Image
Last Thursday I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven. Not really, but I was on very overjoyed and excited! I went to the annual Vera Bradley outlet sale in Fort Wayne,Indiana with my mom. For those of you that don’t know the Vera Bradley sale is held each year with large amounts of their products on sale. My mom had gone for the past several years and I was always so jealous and wanted to go but I couldn’t miss school because of softball. However, this year was finally my turn to go and experience the craze I had heard so much about. We arrived for our 11 a.m. session at 9:30 a.m. We wanted to make sure we had a decent spot in line to avoid a lot of the madness that was going to follow behind. Also by arriving early we could beat a lot of the long lines at checkout. While waiting in line Vera Bradley had various staff members encouraging us to use their hashtag and post pictures. Of course, my mom and I followed their instructions. There were prizes up for grabs! They al...
