What a pretty day! Today was Russell's Easter party at preschool and I had the day off. Ricky worked 2 hours over this morning, which means...he's now asleep and this mommy got a day all to herself! What did I do, you ask? I went to watch The Hunger Games for the second time. :) I know it doesn't sound like it, but before that, I was very productive. I did 4 loads of laundry, I've gone through Russell's winter clothes and placed those that no longer fit him in "storage". Ha! Who am I kidding...we have no more room for storage! I seriously feel like I'm starting to live in a Hoarders episode. This summer, we're getting a storage building, but there's no time or money for that now. :) And once we have another kid, if it's a girl, I'm getting rid of it
ALL, with the exception of a few special baby outfits.
We ended up going on our cruise during Spring Break rather than waiting for summer. I think it may have been the best vacation EVER, and the timing was perfect. I came back to school fully refreshed! We went to Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico and Cozumel, Quintana Roo, Mexico. It was our 4th time to Cozumel, but 1st to Progreso. Progreso was way different and I loved it! It was much less commercialized than Cozumel. My favorite things about the cruise were 1) the beautiful Cozumel water and 2) our balcony. Wish I was still there.... ;)

In my last entry, I mentioned, "We have to catch a break sometime, right?" Well....on the cruise, we were seated in the dining room with three other couples. One of the couples, around our age, just so happened to both work at the Home Office for Walmart!!! How amazing is that? We all really hit it off and became cruise buddies. In the end, the husband told us his job is coming open due to his promotion, and that he would be happy to turn Ricky's resume over to his boss. Ricky and him exchanged contact info and he actually emailed Ricky when he got back to Arkansas asking for his resume. So...obviously, Ricky sent it in ASAP! No clue what will happen with all of that, but the fact that it happened gave us assurance that we are where God wants us. It's so easy to forget that sometimes!
I gained 5 pounds on the cruise (ate EVERYTHING in sight), but lost 6.4 pounds the next week. I'm now down 65 pounds and 57 inches. Holy moly! I'm only 12ish pounds from my goal weight. I've GOT THIS!!!
Easter is Sunday and Ricky found out this morning that he's off tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday. YAY! He gets to go to sunrise service with us. Sunrise Service with Mt. Pleasant MBC in Langley, AR is something everyone on Earth should get to experience. It's such a blessing. Can't wait!
