Long overdue

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.

                        -Romans 12:12


What a perfect verse. I can not believe I have never come across this one before.

Admittedly, I do not spend enough time in church. I want to. I need to. I just don't. It has nothing to do with not wanting to get out of bed on Sunday morning (we are usually awake way before an 11 am church service). It has more to do with finding a church that we like, are comfortable in and is within a reasonable distance from our house. We just can't seem to find somewhere that feels right.

I am so looking forward to this Sunday. We are going to church at Dustin's parents church, which is exactly what I need right now. We are eating Easter lunch with his family. This means I get to see my niece and nephew, which I am so looking forward to! After lunch with D's family, we will head to have dinner with my parents. My brother will not be around though, which stinks.

Mostly, I am just looking forward to this restful and rejuvenating time of year. Spring break from school. A mini vacation with friends. And a visit to church, which I am so in need of.

Oops

I have been a bad blogger lately. Maybe it is because I have nothing to talk about. Or maybe it is because I have too much to talk about. Either way, I have been sucking it up with the whole blogging thing.

Things have been pretty uneventful in the Hayes' household lately, which is probably a good thing. So, here are the few updates I can muster up:

*I had the best overnight shopping/eating/drinking trip this past weekend with Jessie. Love that girl. And shopping. And drinking.

*We are 7 school days away from Spring Break. But who's counting?

*My best friend from 5th grade is now a married woman. We had a blast at her wedding and are so happy for her!

* I will be seeing Luke Bryan in concert in 4 days. This makes me excited.

*Dustin won a free Otterbox just by retweeting a RealTree tweet today. He got the new, waterproof Armor series (normally $100) for free! Shipping included! Pretty awesome stuff!

*I have decided to start selling Origami Owl. They sell seriously adorable lockets and I am SO ready to get this new business venture up and running. Check out their stuff here and let me know if you love it as much as I do!
^^^More about above post coming soon :)

That is pretty much the excitement in my life right now. I certainly hope your life is more exciting than mine!
