Hope everyone had a happy and blessed Easter!
Up:
- It was so great have Mike home this week especially to celebrate Jackson's 2nd birthday and Easter, two occasions he missed out on last year while he was deployed.
- So hard to believe my cutie pie is already 2 years old. Jackson brings so much joy, love, and laughter to our lives and I'm so thankful for him. Some of his funnies this week include saying that Old McDonald had a camel and then last night I could hear him singing 'Red Solo Cup' and 'Jingle Bells' in his room to put himself to sleep.
- We had a pretty low key Easter this year. After mass we went to the club on base to eat lunch with friends. It was nice not having to cook a big meal. Then we went back to the house and Jackson opened all his Easter basket prizes before his nap. After an extremely unusual 3 hour nap, he got up and hunted Easter eggs. He was definitely more into it this year than last. Last year he wouldn't even attempt to hunt eggs because he was scared of the grass. Kennedy looked adorable in her dress and acted like an angel for the most part, Mike said we should put her in a dress more often if she would act like that!

- We got our taxes done this week and found out that we are getting a pretty fat tax return. That definitely gives me some peace of mind with all the money we shelled out recently for the pick-up.
Down:
- Mike found out at work this week that we won't be moving this year. So at the earliest we would move this time next year. I know that God has a plan for us, but I really don't know how much longer I can stand being in this house. Yes, I know I'm very fortunate to have a home and no monthly payment, but we are rapidly growing out of this space. Not to mention that I'm not a huge fan of Mountain Home itself. (Sigh) I guess we'll stick it out a little longer.
- Mike had to go back to work today. It is so great to have him home and then he took off work through yesterday. We had a great time and he even took Jackson golfing with him yesterday!
