Easter Weekend Fun!






This last weekend was Easter weekend. It was wonderful to be able to be with most of my family. We missed you Mom, Dad, and Karen. We also missed the Armstrong side of the family as I know Tim and I were the ones missing from their Easter Sunday as well.






First off though, Saturday was a great way to begin the weekend. . Tim and I had pre-marital counseling with Pastor Jim to begin the day. We have both enjoyed meeting with him...we are learning great communication(no garden yet!)!! Then, we went out to Red Robin and had some great burgers and fries. Then on to the mall where Tim and picked out his wedding ring!!! Fun, Fun!! Of course, it could not be a Saturday without a visit to the library for Tim to work on school. (He is done in two and a half weeks then we will get a break from the weekend library dates!!!) That night, I dog sat for Don and Katrina Hines. Dan, Karis and Kayla ended up staying there with me overnight (Thanks again Don and Katrina!!) which made it so much fun.






Sunday was Easter Sunday. We enjoyed a little different service that day. We met together for Sunday School , and we participated in the Lord's Supper during that hour. The morning service was normal with singing and preaching. Again most of my family was there, so we were able to fill up a whole row which ended up being called the "Varner Row". We all ate at John and Beth's house which was very good. After that, Tim and I went and played softball with some friends from church. It wasn't the most warm day for that, but we sure did have fun. That night, we hung out in the library again!! Gotta love seminary!! All in all thought, it was a great weekend to celebrate the risen Saviour as well as spend some great time with the family.

Yeah -- school will be done soon for both of you! Glad you're having a good Spring Break, Kristen.

Kayla woke up saying "roni" this morning as I walked into her room. I told her that we don't eat macaroni for breakfast. She replied "Auntie". I said that yes, Auntie has "roni", but her house is too far away to go get some "roni" from her. I asked her who made the "roni" for her. She promptly said "Kori." She's so fun to talk to although there's a lot of guessing involved with the incomplete sentences. :-)

Hey that's a nice lookin' dog you got there! Must have some great owners! =) Thanks again for being so flexible and helping us out. Now, you know with you getting married, it doesn't change your status in our minds . . . you will still be called upon to have some enjoyable time with our good looking dog. You know, if you and Tim are still available/willing.

Thanks again!
