Happy Good Friday!

Happy Friday ya’ll! This Friday is especially joyful because it is Good Friday. I woke up this morning with a feeling of peace – of gratitude – of faith. Let me tell you, with everything going on around our place these days, it was the most peaceful I have felt in weeks!

Hubs and I have a slam packed weekend on the books. We are meeting our Life Group this evening for dinner and fellowship. We are hosting a dinner party with one of our closest friends, Jim, and his parents who are in from Philadelphia tomorrow night. They are bringing a traditional Italian meal – I’m super excited. I’m not sure if I’ve ever eaten real homemade Italian food before.

I am especially looking forward to Sunday. We will be celebrating our first Easter at FiveStones, the church we recently joined. Steven’s dad and family are traveling from Winston-Salem to join us at Fivestones. Then I am hosting Easter lunch at my house. I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally host a holiday meal at my place! I am going to get to use my fine china for the first time! Yay! Yay! Yay!

So as you can see, I have a lot to prepare for. I need to get my house ready for not one, but two events this weekend. Thankfully it is going to be a beautiful Easter weekend. The high is expected to be 85 degrees here! It feels like summer!

I also wanted to share a few pictures from the charity football tournament last weekend. Sarah and I had such a great time watching our men play football and the weather was wonderful.

Just happened to catch a smile at the end of the play!

Hope this adds a little cheer to your last day of work before the weekend. Just think of how beautiful this weekend will be! I hope you all have a blessed Easter holiday!
