Easter 2009

Well to tell the truth Easter this year went better than I expected.  I was dreading going to my Mom's since it was the 1st time I had been home since my Dad passed away.  But we had a nice time.  J and I left Friday at lunch and drove down.  We took Mom to the grocery store since she was "wigging out" about not having a ham for Sunday lunch.  So about $100 later we left the store and headed home.  We ended up eating seafood with my my sister and her family that night.  Saturday J, Mom and I headed out to go shopping, we went up to Myrtle Beach and stopped at the new Market Place Commons, which was nice and ate lunch, we shopped a while there and then headed to Coastal Grand Mall where we stayed for a while (thank goodness there was a Starbucks there!).  Then we headed to Lowe's to get Mom a new mailbox since someone backed into her's.  On Sunday we got up, got dressed and went to church and then cooked lunch and my sister and her family came over to eat.  After lunch we all headed outside to erect Mom's new mailbox!  That in itself was an adventure but it got done and about 4:30 yesterday afternoon we headed home from Mom's house.  Needless to say, we stayed busy and that's the way I like it.  I have ants in my pants and can't sit still so keeping busy was great for me.  All in all Easter was nice but I still missed my Dad like crazy and that part of it sucked!  But the meaning was still there and I know because of what happened on that cross so many years ago, I'll see my Dad again one day.  That is the one bright spot over the weekend.  I am so incredibly thankful for that.  So how was your Easter?

Blessings,
