Easter in Atlanta

The week after going to the baseball game I only worked 3 1/2 days. Friday was good Friday and Thursday i took a half day so I could drive to Atlanta to spend Easter with my aunt, uncle, and cousins. Chaleece and I drove up on Thursday and Tine drove up on Friday after work.



Friday we all just laid around the house. The basement is basically like an apartment and he bedroom down there is amazing! The bed is so soft and comfortable and there are no windows so it is pitch black with the lights off. You have no way of knowing what time it is. It was so nice. Savannah, Katie, Challece, and I ran a few errands with aunt Barb and when we got back to the house we dyed Easter eggs. will admit that on the outside I was rolling my eyes doing the whole "I'm 23 and WAY to old to be doing this." But on the inside I was squealing and had a stupid grin on my face. So the 4 of us girls dyed eggs and Savannah managed to spill orange dye all down her leg and her foot was that color for a few hours.

Tina arrived around 11pm as everyone was heading to bed. The next morning we all got up and along with a friend of Katie's went to the World of Coke. It was really cool. It had been many, many years since I had been there and they had done a bunch of renovations. Chaleece was in heaven running around touching and looking at everything :) It was really cool. They had a 4-D short video. I was a little wary at first because i was traumatized by the Honey i Shrunk The Audience movie at Disney World when i was 8. So I pretty much hate 3D movies. But I survived. Actually I just stared at the bottom of the screen and kinda watched the movie through my eyelashes. haha

So we headed back to the house and just spent the evening watching movies and relaxing. Sunday we got up and went to Dunwoody for church. Tina, Chaleece, Savannah and I went to Sunday school with Savannah. It was a good message. It was great people kept asking what grade we were in and what school we went to. Plus most of teh room was full of adorable, awkward middle school boys. So the 3 of us went to big people church and then home. My mom had called my aunt and told her to get me chocolate bunny since she didn't get a chance to. My aunt made a basket not only for me and her kids but for Chaleece and Tina. It was a wonderful surprise. A Friend of Aunt Barb's came over and we had Easter dinner. Again the rest of the evening was spent relaxing there was a house wide nap at one point which was wonderful :)

Savannah recently got a recording studio type computer program and basically has a recording studio in the basement. A while back she said she would help me put music to some lyrics that I had written. So the two of us spent a few hours playing around. Then a friend of Savannah's came over and we were about to eat dinner when Aunt Barb starts saying "oh no we didn't have the egg hunt." So at 7:30 with the last bits of light Chaleece, Tina, and I hid Easter eggs and Katie went looking for them. There were 47 eggs I think and we hid them all. By the time Katie got outside though it was pretty much dark so she couldn't find all of the eggs. It was decided that she was going to go looking for them the next day. I'm not sure if they have found them all yet.

Monday morning Chaleece, Tina, and I got up early and headed off to the retreat center, which we had to get there by 4pm. it was a wonderful relaxing weekend. I got to sleep in, I didn't have to worry about work, or cooking, or cleaning. It was wonderful mini vaca. Plus I love spending time with my family.

Love and miss you all
