Survival of Spring Break

Well, Spring Break is about over. After 1 movie, countless trips to the park, several works of art via sidewalk chalk, inning after inning of backyard t-ball, 1 trip to the zoo, 100 playroom picnics with plastic food, and way too much Elmo and Mickey Mouse (for mom), we are ready for Monday and SCHOOL!!! (OK, I am ready for Monday and school.) We had a great time, don't get me wrong. But the energy level of the kids is much higher than mine! How is that fair? I don't know.

I really thought I would hear our travel date by now. But, I am confident we will be traveling in April. I just hate the weekends because I know I won't get any news. Yes, my current life revolves around going to Serbia. You know, it is hard to plan anything not knowing when we will be gone. I can't volunteer to be class mom or for church activities too far in advance. I did buy concert tickets at Christmas time for my husband and I to see Paul Potts next week. I was thinking, we will be back from Serbia in plenty of time to go to this. Funny. But we get to go which is cool. For those of you who don't know Paul Potts, he was the winner of "Britain's Got Talent." He was just an average guy who worked in a cell phone store and came on the show and sang opera. He is phenomenal!!

Happy Easter to everyone! Easter is always special for me. I found out on Easter in 1998, that I was pregnant with our first child, Braxton. I feel so grateful at this time of year for our Savior, Jesus Christ and his atonement and resurrection. I know that it is only through Him that I can be with my son again not only in spirit but with flesh and bones. I will get to HUG my son again. That is a day that can't come soon enough. May you all have a wonderful Easter with family and friends!
