Oh, Happy Day!

This weekend was so great! Not only were we able to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, but we were able to spend some great family time together. The weather was amazing yesterday and Caleb was able to spend a lot of time outside. Grandpa helped him dig in the dirt, he went for a bike ride with Grandma, and the three of us(matt, caleb and I) went for a nice long walk when we returned home from Easter dinner. I cannot express in words how much I love my family. I am so thankful for what the Lord has blessed me with! As we were walking, we talked about how the Lord continues to reveal to us, in small portions, the plans that he has for our future. Last year at this time we were really in the dumps and lonely, as we had just moved to Kearney a month earlier. The week after Easter the Lord brought together our small group, that are now, some of our closest friends. God is so good!

Matt recently accepted a postition as Executive Director for Youth for Christ out of Holdrege, NE. He's in his second week, and so far, so good! I think we are both just really excited that he finally has a job in the ministry! This is also a job that will help to equip us for church planting! I just recently accepted the Assistant Manager position at the Ramada...and so far, its been ok! Im not too keen on working and would rather be home--But it is going to be wonderful to be able to pay down our student loans faster! Marie, my mother-in-law has decided to stay home and watch children, starting in May--which means Caleb will be with her while we are both working! This has been an answer to prayer, because I didnt want to put him in a daycare where I didnt know the person who was watching him. Caleb is now almost 15 months old and is hilarious! He has starting saying a few things, one of which is 'Hi Kitty'! So funny! He loves playing outside, and going for walks in his stroller! He also loves sweets, just like his mom! But, dont worry, he rarely gets them:)

Well, thats all for now! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Here are some pics of the fam on Easter!
