New life

Hola friends. I hope you are all blessed and doing well these days! So here's a quick update of the past few weeks for you guys... sorry for those of you that read this to stay up to date, I know I've been a slacker, but again I haven't been in the writing mood.
Last time I wrote that the new baby will be here on May 2nd, well yesterday they moved her up again and she will make her debut on April 30th! I just can't wait! Other than that news nothing is new with me really. Like last time, I've seen a few new movies (including TMNT, Blades of Glory, and Shooter) and they were all entertaining. Shooter was really good though, and no, not just because Mark Walhberg is in it!
I was on spring break a couple of weeks ago, so I spent some time Illinois hanging with family and friends. I went fishing with my brother and we rode some 4 wheelers. It was cool just to hang out. Then Trent came again that thursday through saturday because he had an interview, so that was fun times. Then I had to go back up to IL for my sister's baby shower which was a good time of course.
Since then I've been working again, finally. I've also started packing up my stuff and getting ready for the move. My room is so sad right now. All my pictures, candles, and decorations are gone. We just went through the movies and divided them up. We also went through all our pictures to ensure we had copies of each other's pics. It's just been really sad. I've been really sad. But it'll all be ok... and I'm REALLY excited to see what God has for me. There's a possibility of a trip to Russia which is exciting. There's just so much I can do right now, so we'll see!
I'm excited that it's Easter weekend. I love this time of year. It's such a triumphant time! God knew what He was doing when He conquered death through Jesus in the spring time... I just think it's beautiful. The weather might not reflect new life right now (stupid cold coming back!), but that's what spring brings... new life, just as Jesus brought life. Very simple, but so amazing, yeah?
If you would, please be praying for a smooth move and just that opportunities would be presented in the job search. Thanks so much!
I hope you have a great Easter and get to spend time with your families. I can't wait for Kayla to do the Easter egg hunt with my dad's side of the family this year... she's finally old enough to contend on her own. All of my cousin's kids are older than she is, so she always gets shafted... not this year, I'm gonna show her how to do it! Only pick up the eggs that don't rattle, go for the ones that feel empty, that's where the money is! Nice, I know.
Oh, sidebar, I just remembered...I'm going to a memorial service for my Uncle's father (obvouisly not my grandfather) today, so pray for healing for his family. He suffered for a long time, so it's good that he's at rest now, but that doesn't make it easier on their family, you know?
Let me know how I can uplift you right now. Blessings!

"This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10b
