I had a great time on spring break. It was so nice to be with mom and dad again and on Easter we all were able to be together. We had a family picture taken that I will hopefully post sometime in the near future.

We matched :-)

On Saturday before I came back to Tennessee, I met JoHanna Tangeman and Erin Ruark in Dayton at a really nice mall called "The Green" We had the best time together and just had a good time catching up and just had some great fellowship. We went to the Cheesecake Factory and called our friend Kirk Kirkland because it is his favorite place and he ended up coming to meet us there and that was nice too. I am so thankful for these great friends that God has put in my life!

We met and had coffee first

This was the girl who served us and took our picture for us...very sweet girl

Our lettuce wraps we ordered at Cheesecake Factory! mmmmm!!!

I am now at home AGAIN!! Since last post I went to state competition with our Bible Quizzers and we got third place! I was so happy for them. We were the first team in our school to place at state, so...GREAT job guys, you did so well.

Now it is spring break and I am enjoying being with my mom and dad. I am milking cows twice a day for my mom since she is still not able to walk on her foot. She had surgery and is still recovering. I went to a funeral today for my mom's cousin and it made me so thankful for how my parents raised me. It was a Catholic funeral and I had never been in a Catholic church before. It was so sad and a lot of ceremony. They just say all these prayers and hope and just assume that God will allow them to go to heaven. So I am just so thankful that I know the Lord personally and that I know where I am going when I die and it will not only be a sad time, but a happy time because I will be with my Savior!

I went to church tonight and they have done so much there to improve the church. The main doors are new and SOO nice. The carpet is no longer RED!!! I am so glad and it is now mauve and the pews are recovered and it looks SOOO nice. I was so glad. I always said I would not get married in there until they changed the carpet and so everyone said.."Ok Cathy, we changed the carpet, now you can get married :-)" They are so funny.

This weekend I plan to spend some time with JoHanna and also I am going to get to see my sister. My family will all be together for a little bit this weekend and that is going to be so fun.

Well I guess that is all for now...hope to hear from you!
