Weekend Wrap Up & Easter!

Our Easter weekend was pretty low key and relaxing, which was just what we needed after Stephen having his wisdom teeth out on Thursday. He was able to take Thursday and Friday off work, but I only took Thursday off.  Since Thursday was a pretty eventful day, it only makes sense to start this recap there!

Thursday morning we were able to sleep in a little bit before Stephen's surgery. I felt so bad for him because it was obvious how nervous he was. When we made it to the OS (oral surgeon) office, he had the chills and could not get warmed up...I knew it was nerves. I really was not nervous at this point because I was looking forward to getting some reading done. When they called him back I stayed in my chair in the waiting room until they asked me to come back with him. At this point, I might have started getting a little nervous. Umm hello, I wanted to read my book and not be in the room while my husband has teeth cut out. Anyways, after they took all his vitals and had him hooked up they took me back to the waiting room...to wait...for an hour. When they called me back Stephen was laying on a cot in recovery and not looking good...I knew it was going to be a long day! After an hour in recovery when he felt like he could stand we hit the door and headed to CVS to pick up his narcotics...the good stuff! Next stop was for a milkshake and then home.

Thursday after noon was very long and bloody. For your sake, I will not go into details!

Friday I was able to go to work and have a relatively predictable day. Sorry there is nothing to report there!

Saturday the weather here was great. We were able to get out of the house and do some shopping in Fort Wayne. The best part? We were jacketless. Without jackets people!?! Woohoo! We also grabbed lunch a Chic-Fil-A which will always be my favorite fast food place! We had some coupons to use and I got some great purchases! I was excited to get home though because I knew I had baking to do! Our family here in IN was getting together on Easter Sunday for a big dinner and I was bringing the cake. Of course :)

Sunday morning we got up way earlier than I would have liked to attend a pie breakfast at church before the combined morning service. The service was great as was the music that my SIL picked for the day. All the songs were uplifting and so fitting for Easter Sunday. After church it was time for our shin-dig. Can you believe we did not take tons of pictures? I am going to blame it on the fact that Stephen was still not feeling 100% and may have been a little swollen. Also, it was kind of cold in the morning. Anyways, the only pictures I got were of the cake. It looked beautiful and I will admit that I was totally proud:

White Rose Cake

Beautiful and delicious? I'd have to say yes!

We had a great recovery weekend and enjoyed celebrating the resurrection of our Lord with family. The grave is empty, he isn't there. He is Risen, He is Risen Indeed! Praise God!
