Spring Has Sprung!

Hey y'all! Sorry for the short hiatus on my blog.. it seems like forever since I have posted on here. I know I start almost every post with this, but I have just been so busy! As most of you probably know by now, Tyler and I are moving back to West Virginia.. I AM COMING HOME, Y'ALL! We have been traveling back and forth from Lexington to Charleston (a three hour drive) almost every weekend. Tyler accepted a position with a very prestigious firm in Charleston, and I couldn't be more proud of him! He has been recognized in Lexington as a Rising Star lawyer, and I just know he will be just as successful in West Virginia. Steptoe and Johnson is lucky to have him! 

Last week/weekend was a whirlwind to say the least. I have been working ten hour shifts in order to have Fridays off, so my days have mainly consisted of working. One evening last week, Tyler and I had dinner with the office manager at the firm he worked at while in Lexington. She is just the sweetest, and we both will miss her when we move! On Friday, we left for Inez after Ty got off of work for his cousin's birthday party. After having some pizza and cake, we were back on the road en route to Charleston. We spent the first night in our new apartment - on a mattress in the floor LOL We are slowly moving everything in to the new place over the next few weekends since we both will be living back and forth between Lexington and Charleston. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL Y'ALL!

On our way to WV! 

The BEAUTIFUL view from our apartment complex.

On Saturday, we drove around exploring Charleston and purchased a new washer and dryer (thank you grandmother!) We did adult things like getting our TV and internet installed and registering our vehicles. I can't lie, I am loving every minute of it. I sent Kelly this picture and said, "One of us is excited to move.. Can you guess which one?!" LOL Poor Tyler! 

Saturday evening and Sunday day we spent celebrating Easter with my family. On Saturday, we got to take baby Bo his Easter basket from my grandmother. He is such a blessing to our family! 

Bo's basket from Grandmother. 

Love my sistas! 

My two babies that I love so much!

After Bo got his Easter basket, we all headed home. Grandmother gave us our baskets on Saturday too because she said the Easter bunny was too tired to wake up early before church to bring them LOL Yes, I'm 26 and still get an Easter basket. Grandmother asked me when would I be too old for an Easter basket, and I simply pointed out that Taylor AND her baby got an Easter basket so I would say you are NEVER too old for a basket LOL Am I right Kelly and Taylor?! Gran always gets us the best baskets. They are full of candy, books, lip glosses and nail polishes, and sometimes we get beach towels and pajamas. This year, Taylor got beautiful bathroom accessories for her new house. You never know what she will come up with, but you can always guarantee it'll be good! 

On Sunday, we all went to church together to celebrate our risen Savior! After the church service, all of the children hunted eggs. Uncle Erick helped Bo find the Lucky Egg! We headed back to my maw maw and pawpaw's house to have Easter dinner with my parents, Kelly, JuJu, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Freddie, and Ross. I always cherish the time I spend with my family, which is why I am absolutely elated to be moving closer to them! THANK YOU JESUS! 

On our way to church.

The cutest little Easter bunny ever!

Cousins..

We missed you Emilee! 

After a great weekend at home, I knew I had a hectic week ahead of me. With only a few weeks left until the big move, I have lots to do. So far, I have packed up most of our decor and my winter clothes. When I first moved in with Tyler after we got married, I stressed him out really bad when I carried in all of my clothes. This time, I think it will be best if I bring it gradually in seasons LOL On top of moving, I have to start studying for my boards. What a daunting task. I just have to keep on keepin' on! I can't wait to share pictures of our new place with y'all! Maybe I will do a 'Before and After' post once we get settled. I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend celebrating Easter with your loved ones. What an unbelievable gift we received when Jesus gave his life to save us from our sins - to save you - and to save me. I can't even begin to explain how grateful I am for such a sacrifice. Now that I think of all of the things that are stressing me out right now, they all seem so petty and small. I have been saved by a loving God, and through Him, I can make it through anything! 

Until next time.. Take care y'all!
