I used my free day biology pass from last year today and got to watch...the wedding was beautiful and Kate Middleton is one lucky woman.

Happy Easter

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.     Ephesians 2:13

Washed in His blood,

A Spring Saturday in the Bouchillon House

Today is Saturday and it has been a joyful day! This morning, my mom, my sister, and I woke up really early and to do a 3 mile run. The run was helping a group from First Baptist Church go on a mission trip so it was for an awesome cause. Even though I always tell myself that I'm a runner and even try to be hardcore by buying cool Nike shorts and running shoes, the sad truth is.....i'm not. but that's beside the point, it was a good race and this girl came in at 42 minutes. Not too shabby, right? This early morning run really made me realize how great running is and how good it makes me feel for the whole day. Maybe I'll be a runner one day...maybe. 

After that, we came back home and all died EASTER EGGS! This is something my family and I do every year. It was lots of fun and our kitchen table is now tie-dyed! :)

Then, I had a great idea to make an easter bunny cake. So, we ran to the store to get the things to make our cake which included: pillsberry white cake mix, white frosting, pink frosting, jelly beans, oreos, sprinkles, coconut (for the fur...creative right?), and marsh mellows. Let me just tell y'all, this was such a fun project that kept my family busy all day. Especially my mom, sister, and I. The boys just enjoyed the finished product. I really think this will become a Spring tradition for us. SO much fun! 

And here's some pics of the day...

Lizzy looks to see what color she wants to dunk her egg into next...

All of our eggs.

Our first step, making the cake.

We put the cake into two pans. One cake was for the face and one is for the ears and the bow tie...you'll see :)

Forming the bunny. 

Icing the bunny and putting coconut on him to give that furry effect. 

TADA! Our Easter Bunny! Coated in white icing and coconut sprinkles. The nose, mouth, and ears are pink icing. The bow tie consists of jelly beans, sprinkles, and an oreo. The cheeks and teeth are marsh mellows. The eyes are green jelly beans, and the whiskers are tooth picks. 

Happy Easter, Everyone

Even Though Today's Friday...Sunday's Coming.

Rain, Rain.

Right now, it looks like this out my window...

Considering I am home sick today, I am kind of enjoying the sound of the rain and the thunder. It's quite soothing. Tonight though, I am planning to go out with some friends to eat and then go to TMS's performance of Splash. Splash is a mixed show choir group and just like I love participating in show choir, I also love to watch it! I happen to be apart of Splash Alumni. Then tomorrow I am working the baseball games all day. Have a happy weekend, blog world.
