for a short while anyway. We got the Mustang home today and Brandon is thrilled. He picked it up this evening. His first stop was by the other mechanic, the one who will put new tires and the exhaust on it. Then it should be permanently home. We couldn't be happier. I'm just glad to see him happy and not stressed about this. I thought that I would share my joy with you!!!

The Easter Drama for the Children's Dept and Youth Drama was together this year. We used the song "Lord You're Holy" by Karen Wheaton. It was amazing. Lexie had a solo signing and Braden was a sign carrier. It was such a blessing to see my kiddos worshipping God. It touches my heart!!!
Well we had a wonderful Easter...the Easter bunny came and left a little in each basket this year. We had a drama at church that involved the children, Youth and Choir. It turned out great. And then we went to Nana and PopPop's to hunt eggs. Too much fun for one day!!! But most importantly we celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins so that I may live!!!
Hope this wasn't too boring...will post pics of presents later.
Monday I left for a short getaway trip to Atlanta, GA. Let me tell you, I had a wonderful time...from shopping to laughing the ride was worth it. I went with Jenny and Allison and it was just the best. Our first stop was Atlantic Station. Where we went into H&M, West Elm and at at Doc Green's. From there we went to IKEA (insert the Angels singing Hallelujah and sparkling dust). That was amazing. Then we ate at Murphy's, quick trip to Target to get blister guards and it was off to bed to be ready for the next day. Day 2 came with a vengence...up, ready and down to breakfast. We left the hotel (Bye Embassy Suites...your beds were comfy and the full breakfast was great). We started our Day 2 adventure by going to the Centennial Park, and touring a little of downtown. We left downtown and went to Lenox Square where we shopped at Crate & Barrel (good thing we don't have one of those here or I would have no money), Bloomingdales (where I had to get my brown bag and we came in by the MEN'S underwear that had cars on them), and Neiman Marcus. From there we went to Phipps Plaza. We went into Nordstrom, Jimmy Choo (AAAAHHHHH), Tiffany & Co. (Holy Moses is all I can say) and United Colors of Benetton. Here are a few pics.
So last night was a marvelous girl's night. I picked up tickets for the Wizard of Oz over a month ago. Allison, Jenny and I went out for dinner and to see the show. Allison picked our restaurant (she is just the best at this). We went to Ocean in Five Points.
It was absolutely delicious. I had the pan seared scallops, 
with mashed potatoes, ratatouille and the "ocean" salad. The salad was a Greek style salad that had fried feta cheese (yumyum). Then we left to go to the show
...which was wonderful. I have been addicted to the Wizard of Oz since I was a little girl. I did splurge on a shirt. All in all it we had a great time.
