Easter Weekend!

Good Friday-
Abby and I woke up and took our showers and dried our hair. Then our power went out!! So we had to finish getting ready by flash light. I guess it was due to the storms, the whole block was out. That made the morning interesting. I went to mom's to work on Tracy's food for her bridal shower. Abby and I then went to West Town Mall to meet up with Tracy and her sister Kristy and her kids. Well, we all know about the tornadoes in Murfreesboro, where Ben's sister Marrion lives. We found out she was OK but she did witness a tornado forming outside her work. We were relieved that she was OK. Abby was worried when we left the mall. She thinks so logically (like her mother). She asked me, " From West Town Mall is it closer to Mamaw Kincer's house or mamaw's?" I told her Mamaw Kincer's house was closer, which I think she knew that already. She told me that is where we need to go then because of the chance of a tornado. We made it to my mom's house just fine and then went into the bathroom and told spooky stories because Abby was upset about the chance of a tornado. That night Abby had to talk to Marrion to hear for herself that Marrion was OK. What a crazy day. I realized again how smart our Abby-do is.
Saturday-
Another busy day. Mom and I hosted a bridal shower for my best friend Tracy. For those that don't know, Abby and I were supposed to be in the wedding July 25th but due to my 'condition' we can't make it. It was a great shower and I think everyone had a great time. Afterwards, Abby hunted Easter eggs with Tracy's nephew Will. They were so cute together!!! He is 11 months younger than Abby. Then we headed to Rada's (Ben's mom) that night to spend the night.
Sunday (Easter)-
We woke up for the sunrise service that is always at the Simmon's pond. Ben did not think I would get up for it, but to his surprise and I'm sure others, I got up and went to the service. The sunrise was gorgeous and the birds were singing. A beautiful place to worship God and the resurrection of his Son. We had a delicious breakfast (even though it was chilly) and headed back to Rada's to get ready for church. The pics are posted of Abby and I in our Easter dresses. That afternoon we had a great big family get together at the pond. My whole family came, even Nick's girlfriend Shanae. We had a great time. We hunted Easter eggs, ate great food, and some played basketball. I walked back from the pond to the house with Abby. Sounded like a great idea at first, but it took a lot from me. I needed the exercise though. It was fun and a beautiful day. I was worn out that night. Still am today (Monday).
That's a summary of our BUSY weekend. Poor Ben had to work Friday, Saturday, and do school Sunday. I'm proud of all he is doing. It's A LOT!!!!!
This Wednesday I have another ultrasound and Abby is having her surgery Friday. A very busy week. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers please!!
