When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Easter Weekend




This weekend was definitely a busy one! It started for us on Thursday when Todd's sister April drove to Cedar to surprise her mom. Friday we headed to Milford to go visit more family. Friday started out GREAT because we got our tax return!!!!! So we got to pay off all of our debts except our house of course. Then we got to go shopping! The TV we had at our house was Todd's mom's so we decided we should buy one for ourselves. Then we needed a new vacuum as well so we bought one of those too, plus our camera pooped out on us a few months ago, so we went ahead an purchased one of those too. It was a busy day, but man was it great to finally have things to call our own.
Saturday as filled with Easter goodness. We had an Easter Egg hunt just with the grand kids (Lily, Robbie, and Taylor.) Robbie is just 10 days younger than Lily and Taylor is 5. Lily and Robbie caught on to the easter egg hunt rather quickly. They had a blast! They were enjoying the candy as well. Then we were able to dye some eggs and then enjoy a nice birthday dinner for Todd and April. Their birthdays aren't until next week but since we were all together, we thought we might as well celebrate it!
Sunday we woke up to the Easter Bunny's gifts. Lily thought that was amazing. Then we said goodbye to all the family and decided we should probably get home to watch some General Conference. Luckily we have DVR and were able to record it all weekend. We weren't able to view it as well as we would have liked with all the family here, so we're going to concentrate on it when we can actually listen to what is being taught. All in all it was a fabulous weekend and we had a blast!
