Happy Easter - 2 weeks late!

Yes, I am VERY behind on my posts but I didn't want Easter to completely slip by without posting anything so I am doing it now.

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Yes, it's another scrapbook but it's the easiest way to share all of the photos. We were in Bemidji, MN, for Easter. We rented a cabin and enjoyed just being away. It was just what our family needed - especially with the crazy schedule in the next month! For those of you who don't know, Bemidji is home to Paul Bunyan and also the first city on the Mississippi! We had a wonderful Easter although I must admit it was a little strange going to a "new" church for Easter where we didn't know anyone.

We hope you had a wonderful Easter celebrating our risen Savior with your family!

SOOOO not funny!!!

I can't believe it, I just really can't! Yesterday was a beautiful day. Josh had Prom and we were able to get some outside pictures - the sun was shining it was in the 50's and it was so nice. Then, about an hour ago it started to ... you guessed it - SNOW!!!!! I thought even if it did snow there was no way it would stick - boy was I wrong! Just to show you the difference, I'm posting the "scrapbook" I made of Prom pics for Josh, then I'll post the pics I took today of the snow!

Here are a couple of pictures of the snow at our house!

Too crazy!!

Josh Update

It has, once again, been a while since I've had the time to sit and blog and I do have lots to blog about - it's just finding the time to do it that's the problem! After talking to some family members, I realized I haven't mentioned much about what is going on in the life of Josh - our soon to graduate senior! We still have no idea as to where he will head for college in a few short months, but here's a list of the ones he has applied to: Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, MI, Cedarville University in Ohio, Palm Beach Atlantic University in Palm Beach, Florida, and Northwestern College in St Paul, MN. They are all christian universities and part of the problem is not knowing where we'll be after next summer. He's pretty much ruled out Cornerstone although he really liked it due to the fact it doesn't have a graphic arts program. He's in between wanting to do graphics, something with science and theater. I think I pretty much have him convinced NOT to major in theater but he's not sure between the graphic arts and science. The one in Palm Beach is supposed to have a program in Marine Biology which is something he used to say when he was 7 that he was going to do and he's back to thinking about it again! So, that's the update on the whole college search stuff as it stands right now.

Although he isn't currently in any theater productions he is staying busy with a new activity - working! He started working at Coldstone Creamery a few weeks ago and seems to really be enjoying it. The job almost "fell in his lap" because the owner of the store goes to our church and helps out with the youth so he already knew Josh and didn't need to interview him! The owner also told Josh that if he goes away to college, he can still work for him when he comes home on breaks, so that's nice!

Josh is also gearing up for Prom!! It is a week away and his date's name is Amanda. They met through a mutual friend because she goes to a different school. We got to meet her when we went to help pick out Josh's tux. She's going to be wearing a pink dress so he'll be wearing a pink tie and vest. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes out.
