/Easter Weekend/

Well I find myself in my room/ all of my bags packed/ everyone safe and sound asleep in the Van Camp household/ and just reflecting on my life for the past few days.

I feel as if I say this A LOT but it is true : I am blessed.

This weekend was incredible. I got to spend the entire day Friday with my family.

I wish I could do that every Friday. 

It was absolutely refreshing.

Then picked up Aunt Sherry, Adriane and Baby Tate on Saturday. 

Easter was amazing. Spent the morning with my church family 

and the afternoon with my relatives.

Trey gave a BOMB sunrise service sermon. wow. 

I grow respect for my brother more and more each day.

And daddy knocked the service out of the park !

Daddy graduates in May from Seminary, and I really don't think

I could be more proud of him for that.

Trey spoke on The purpose of the cross

Daddy spoke on The purpose of the resurrection

I have amazing men in my life :) 

The afternoon was spent

Eating way too much/ playing card games/ and strolling down memory lane.

It is so fun to reflect back on times when you were young. Adriane seems to remember small details so well. I wish I was able to do that. She remembers certain things we used to say, and even little tantrums we used to make! 

Then I spent the entire day with all of the girls in the family, making sure we got all of the good deals at the mall, and going to coffee with grandma because we were SO TIRED!

I got to teary eyed while I was packing tonight. It seems so silly since I am going to be coming back in a couple weeks with UCO. I think it is just the combination of not wanting to go back to school, being stressed out with all of my final papers, and not knowing where exactly I am going this summer or in December when I am finished with school. 

I get in Queen Creek and I just have an entire different out look on life. 

I love the small town, everyone riding their horses, and no traffic what so ever.

Then there was baby Tate. oh. my. goodness. 

She is the most precious thing that has ever been! 

She has the personality that can make any heart soft and the eyes that can melt anyone.

It made any motherly desires that I have just ten times worse. 

She is such a precious little girl. 

well, there is my heart. I wake up in a few hours to fly back to school.

I have to remember there are only a few weeks left !

"You heavens above, rain down righteousness;
       let the clouds shower it down.
       Let the earth open wide,
       let salvation spring up,
       let righteousness grow with it;
       I, the LORD, have created it."

Isaiah 45:8
