Like the Energizer Bunny...

...I've just been going, and going, and going.

Seriously, sorry for going MIA on here for the past two weeks! Unfortunately, all my craziness isn't over yet (and won't be until the end of April), but I'll try to do a better job at updating my poor neglected blog. Some exciting stuff is going down this month!

Here's a taste of what's been going on:

• Two-day trip to Atlanta to visit the Candler School of Theology at Emory
• My parents coming to visit
• The craziness that is Holy Week. If anyone reading has ever worked or frequently volunteered in a church, I believe I can get an "amen" on that. This year, for example, our small church with three paid staff persons held a Maundy Thursday service, a Good Friday service, and two Easter services (sunrise and normal)!

And here's a preview of what's yet to come:

• Two-day trip to Durham later this week to visit Duke Divinity School
• Co-hosting a bridal shower next weekend
• Attending Jazz Fest in New Orleans the weekend after that!

Other random things that I would like to fit in there: Laundry, sleep, exercise, decorate our house for spring before spring ends. Oh, and working. I suppose that might be good for our finances. :)

I'll definitely want to say more about my trip to visit Emory, but I think that deserves its own post. This is just a brief catch-up and apology. But I hope you now understand the reasons for my silence as of late.

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter with family and friends! Our household certainly did. In our normal worship service, three people were baptized and four joined the church! It was a beautiful day for our little congregation, and I was so thankful.

Afterwards, the hubs and I napped for two hours, ate homemade fajitas (cooked in the crockpot overnight), and saw The Hunger Games (second time for yours truly). So, our Easter was truly a day of joy and a day of rest. :)

What was your favorite part of Easter? Is your spring starting to get insanely busy, too?
