The Lord is Risen, Alleluia!!! He is Risen, indeed!
I am so glad that Lent is over! I usually LOVE Lent! This year was no different, but it seemed sooooooo long. Maybe it was the never-ending (except in the last week) gloomy weather and freezing temperatures. I was over all of it! I was so glad to hear the joyful music at mass this morning! It was wonderful to see everyone appearing happy and walking with a spring in their step!
Being a part of the Prayer Buddies was one of my favorite aspects of Lent! I had the privilege of praying for Mrs. Blondie from Waiting For Baby Blondie! It was wonderful to be able to pray for her. I went back and read her blog history to get to 'know' her a bit better. I prayed for her and her hubby D, especially when she had surgery and was recovering. I thought about her often and lifted her up in prayer many times during the day and while I was at mass. Having someone specific to pray for was a great way to keep me focused on prayer! I loved it! I also held all of the bloggers close to my heart during this Lent! It is wonderful to be a small part of such a wonderful group of ladies! Thanks so much to my prayer buddy... whoever you are!! I prayed for you often and thanks for all the prayers!! You rock!
Doug and I went to Ohio for Easter to see my parents. It was a nice visit and long overdue! I love being at 'home' and this trip was no different. We had a very low-key and relaxing weekend. We did a little shopping (new curtains!!), did a little cooking and even played a little w.ii with mom and dad. We celebrated my dad's birthday and just hung out. My dad and Doug tinkered around in the garage together -- it's nice to see their relationship develop! I love it. They are so much a like... in all the good ways! Doug and I surprised my mom and dad with a preview of our official wedding video. Our videographers gave us a rough advanced copy of the Nuptial Mass and some reception highlights. They were very excited! It was great to watch the wedding with them and see their emotions... my dad was crying the whole time all over again. I admit, I shed a few tears as well. Overall, it was a great little trip!
I hope all of you are feeling the peace of the risen Lord! Happy Easter! Alleluia!
p.s. Ann -- the photos of the Easter dishtowels are coming soon! :)

You better. I’m waiting with bated breathe. You should see my horrible spring craft project I attempted. Martha Stewart would not be proud (and I'm a little embarrassed to post it). It wasn’t too tacky, but nothing in my house is “crafty.”
I’m so glad you had a happy Easter. This Lent was rough for me, too.
Thank you so much for your prayers. Have a great Easter season.
