Take Me Back Tuesday | Easter Celebrations

For those of you who follow the blog regularly, I apologize. It is my goal every week to blog Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Typically I am successful but every once in a while…it just doesn’t happen. Yesterday was spent at the dentist office and then at my parent’s house getting help from my father on this thing that we all love called taxes. Riveting I know. Anyway, still check in every Monday, Tuesday and Friday!!!

On a different note, last weekend was a special holiday! EASTER! What a significant day of celebration that we so often ‘Pass’over… See what I did there?!?! Oh dear, I crack myself up. In seriousness though, it is one of my favorite holidays because it is the MOST significant holiday. Christmas is wonderful but without the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, his birth is meaningless. I hope that you had a wonderful holiday weekend and whether or not you celebrate Easter in the name of Jesus, I pray that you at least considered what it all meant. I called my mom a couple of weeks ago and told her I was coming home for Easter Sunday and she was beside herself with excitement. For real. When I told her that I’d be bringing my roommates, she was even more excited. She immediately said, “Oh my goodness, I never thought I’d be given such a gift! We will HAVE to dye easter eggs!”  So, as we did when we were kids, we dyed us some beautiful eggs. What a strange but fun tradition. I’d like to tell you that mine were the coolest but I’m afraid my artistic roommate, Julie, won out one that one.

Not only was it a day of celebration in the name of Christ’s resurrection, but my roommates and I finished our 30 day Paleo diet challenge and were able to devour everything that is wonderful in life…food-wise of course. After having denied our cravings for the last 30 days and only eating ‘clean’ foods, we were anxious to CELEBRATE! We started the day with wedding cake (leftover from Saturday’s wedding), added in a coke after church and then partook of delicious Easter candy as the day progressed. Sugar coma soon followed. It was glorious. (See thumbs up pic at the end to see how proud we are of ourselves)

So, in the name of dyed Easter eggs, sugar comas and our glorious Savior,

I Say, Take Me Back!

Roomies!!! So proud of us for completing our challenge!
