This year Easter was a little different. According to my court order, the boys were supposed to be with their dad, however due to the death of my Grandpa Ireland, I got to keep the boys, and we took a surprise, and VERY unplanned trip to Texas! Because of the rush to leave on Thursday so we would be able to be rested for the funeral on Saturday, I forgot my camera, so I have NO pictures of ANYTHING! My mom is supposed to email me some soon. Anyways, It started out like this.
Thursday morning I woke up to a phone call from my dad saying that his dad had died over night. So we began packing immediately. I then called my brother about 10 times before he FINALLY answered his phone. I told him we were leaving for Texas and asked if he wanted to go. At first he said he couldn't, and about 20 minutes later he called and said he wanted to go. We originally wanted to leave by 10 in the morning because it can take about 15-17 hours, however Jason wasn't able to leave until about 12, so we ended up leaving at 1:30 that afternoon. We began our drive to Texas.
Friday morning we arrived at my grandma's house just in time for breakfast. We went Easter shopping that afternoon with my mom and grandma. Then later that evening, my sister Aleah, brother Caleb and I went with my dad and uncle to our Aunt Theresa's house.
Saturday Morning, we woke up early and went to the funeral home for the viewing, then right after that we went out to the cemetary and did the grave dedication. After all of that was done, we all went to my uncle Russ's house for food and games.
Sunday Morning, we woke up early again and went to church. It is so weird because in Texas they do Sunday School and Primary first and then they have Sacrament. Anyways after church we had 2 Easter Egg hunts, and then on again to my Aunt Theresa's
Monday morning, we woke up early again! We packed everything up, said our good byes and started our trip back home!!! My brother drove most of the way home since my husband drove almost the whole way there. He got pulled over TWICE, got a warning the first time, but was not so lucky the second time! We got home at about 2:30 am.
SO as you can see our Easter was extremely busy and hectic!!! Ever since the trip, nothing tastes good, I always have a bad taste in my mouth, I have NO cravings, and I am not eating as much!!! We have our first ultrasound next Wednesday! We will keep you posted, and I promise we will put up pictures soon, once I get them!!!
