Happy Easter Time

Me & the Easter Bunny

I had planned on doing something cute for Chris for Easter. I waited until he was going to do his homework to slip out and grab something. I decided that since we live right next to a store, I would just walk over there, and grab a few things. I guess Chris had the same idea. He kept looking out to see when my car would leave, and it never did. He decided I was probably over at Rite-Aid, and wanted to come scare me. I was looking at some Easter stuff, when I heard "What are you going to get him?" It scared me, because I whipped around and it was Chris. We ended up just shopping for things together. We got home, and dyed some eggs. We bought some Paas kit to decorate the eggs with, but we never got that far, so we gave it to our neighbors to decorate with her little girl.
We went to a park with Chris's family to eat yummy food. We brought our neighbors with us. Chris got surprised by being asked if he could play the Easter Bunny for all the little kids there. It was hilarious indeed. We finished up the night by going to my parents to see Buddy, Tiffany and Kids. We went up to the "Wooden House" to see the progress. Eric actually let me tote him around for a bit. He has started to mumble a few words I don't understand, but it is so cute! Caden had fun picking up the never-ending nails. It was fun to see them.

Sealing

Chris and I went to our Bishop's appointment last night for our Living Ordinance Recommend. Our next step is to go to the Stake President, and we are all good to go to be able to get sealed together for all time and eternity. We are waiting for Chris's brother to come home from his mission since he will be the only family member besides his parents that will be able to attend and it will mean a lot to him to have him there. We are tossing around August 6th, 13th or the 20th. We will let you know when we have decided for sure. We are extremely excited to get sealed to each other.

There are not many updates on our house. We just submitted all of the paperwork to the loan officer. It was fairly easy to round up everything, and we got everything we needed. We are just waiting to hear back. Underwriters always seem to want an arm and a leg though. We are trying to round up boxes. It was nice when I worked at NPS because I got all the boxes I could ever need. Funny story about boxes......... Chris and I went to pick up the Bountiful Basket last Saturday, when Chris decided that he is out of cereal. We just went to the Dick's in Centerville. We had a few groceries in the bottom of the cart, and got a huge stack of boxes from the produce people. I told Chris to put the boxes in the cart so he didn't have to carry them around. We were down the cereal aisle, and I was waiting for Chris to pick out some cereal, when a woman walked by me, and leaned over and said in a really snide tone "Hmmmm.... That sure looks ominous!" I kind of laughed and smiled, because it didn't hit me what she was saying yet, and I thought she was joking. I turned around and she was muttering down the whole aisle "Those kids, hiding their groceries under those boxes....." She thought we were planning on stealing the groceries! I wanted to go up to her and tap her on the shoulder and say "Thanks for assuming!" but I just let it go. I couldn't believe that people will just walk right up and state their assumptions straight out like that. I was already having a bad day, and it was just weird. I laugh now though.

House

Chris and I have the house. The only thing stopping us right now is the financing. We are just getting that done right now. The bank got us the addendum on Friday, and we have already signed the papers and sent it back. Next is financing, then it's ours for good. We are pretty confident that financing will go well. The bank wants to close on it ASAP. We are really excited to have a place of our own.
