Spring Break

This past week has been our Spring Break and we decided to take the time to visit some friends north of us!! Most people usually head south for Spring Break to go to the beach, but we head north!!

First, we stopped in Indiana, to see the Lantz family! We met this family in the Dominican Republic on a mission trip 3 years ago. We have stayed in touch with them since then and we see them a couple of times a year! We absolutely love this family!!

Next, we went to Michigan to visit our good friends Jeff and Rachel and their son, Reid. We haven't seen them since Rachel was pregnant with Reid and now he's two and a half! We used to hang out with them just about every day when they lived in Georgia, so it was good to catch up and spend time with each other like no time has passed at all!

One of the best things was that it snowed! We haven't had ANY snow here in Georgia all winter long, so it was nice to see a little! Also, Michael got to experience the snow for his first time!

Now we're back and home and everyone is recovering from sickness. We all got colds while we were on our trip. Michael has had a rough time sleeping all week long. I'm hoping it won't take too long for him to get back in his regular routine!

On another note...Yesterday was Good Friday and we had some pretty bad weather here. We even had to go to the basement because of a tornado warning!! I think that every Good Friday that I can remember has had horrible weather. I really think it's Jesus' way of reminding me of what happened on the cross. I had some time to just sit and reflect on what Jesus did for me! I used to wonder why they called that day "Good" when something horrible really happened! However, I realize that what Jesus did was "good" for all of humanity! We are supposed to be the ones crucified for our sins, but Jesus paid that price for US!! He took our place on the cross that day! He loves us so much!

Great picture! Jon thought the picture was fake, and I had to tell him that you guys were in Michigan! The snow looks beautiful. You guys are so photogenic.
