It was really nice to be able to spend Easter at home this year. The last time we had been home was five years ago. I especially appreciated being able to celebrate Easter in our own church. Although the day began cool and cloudy, it truly turned into an absolutely lovely day.
I really enjoyed our weekend. Even though we have weekends every week, I commented to Andrew on Saturday that I appreciated the fact that he didn't even have to think about doing lesson plans the next day. That is the thing about a teacher's job that I know most don't understand. Yes, we have weekends off every week, but one does not get to just show up to work on Monday morning and begin the week. There is a great amount of prep work that goes into preparing for a school week. It was nice not to even have to think about that.
Instead, Andrew and I began our vehicle shopping. This entire process will undoubtedly be drawn out, and a post of its own. Between our stop doing that and our grocery shopping, Andrew and I went to a winery that is only ten minutes from our house. We knew the lady that was working there, and we decided to do a tasting. We really enjoyed ourselves, and it was a fun way to spend some time. That evening our family made homemade pizzas and watched a movie together. It was a fabulous way to spend our Saturday evening.
Yesterday after church we drove to my grandmother's house for Easter lunch. My mother, sister, and aunt & uncle were also there. We checked out a few car lots for inventory on the way home, and then just hung out for the evening. It was our first front porch evening of the year, and today is another absolutely gorgeous day. So thankful for Spring break this week!
