Donnie Darko Ruined Bunnies For Me

Well, how was your Easter?!
I had the pleasant surprise of finding out Monday that our office was closed Friday.
Yippee!
So, Matt & I slept in 'till 11 & 11:30, respectively (which was glorious),
and then pretty much did a whole lot of nothing the rest of the day.
I did have a lovely time with the Lord in the backyard with this beast at my feet...
But then we made up for our laziness on Saturday where 
Matt built me this wonderful table for the laundry room:

And then, for fun, I painted my toenails all pretty-like.
And we went to Wal-Mart (with the rest of Lbk), and I cleaned the whole house, and watered the yard, and went to Lowe's, and Matt put up my trellises, etc.
And on Sunday, we got all dressed up to join my family at church.



It was so incredibly packed, but thankfully, we got there early for Matt to help usher.
I just wish all the ppl that come to church on Easter & Christmas would come every
other Sunday too.
It's so enlightening and refreshing to be in the house of the Lord with fellow believers.
Matt helped on the prayer team as well while hundreds of ppl went up to receive Christ.
It was pretty awesome.
(And no, that is not my child although a lady came up to me saying, "He's so cute! God bless you!")
OK, I accept the fact that I'm now old enough to have one of those myself so I didn't correct her.

Matt then watched the Masters for hours on end while I tanned & read The Hunger Games.
I just can't seem to get into the 3rd book!
Ugh!

Then, it was time for family dinner and Easter basket hunt!
 Mom went a little haywire with all the goodies.

And as we were sitting around, Walker came to show off his worm.
And in typical Neufeld fashion, the bidding started to get him to eat it.
It got all the way up to $125!
We'll pay anyone to see them eat anything we wouldn't dare touch.
Unfortunately, the pressure was too much for him.

But their hunt for Easter baskets distracted him:




Oh, and here's some pics of Ramon & Rainnie's 
2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt a couple weeks ago.
 
And if you've seen Donnie Darko, 
you'll know why this bunny is terrifying.



Hope you have a wonderful week! 
It's my birthday week, after all!

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Official Proposal Story!!!

Image
So, finally, I will be telling you the wonderful story of how a regular date night turned into the most wonderful night of my life... Buckle in! It's a tear-jerker! Matt had told me earlier in the week that we were going to have Date Night Thursday night. He said he had been grumpy from his cutback on dipping and wanted to make it up to me. (I didn't think he'd been that grumpy, but I love date night, so I didn't argue.) I looked forward to it all week, and then Thursday came around and he sent me a text asking me to wear his favorite B/W sleeved dress. (Oddity #1) He's never asked me to where something before, and I might have complained a bit since it had sleeves and it was a scorching 102 that day! But, I conceded. Then, he said he'd pick me up at 5:45 (Oddity #2). I figured that was a bit early, but I was just happy that Matt was planning our date night out so nicely. So, I had been wanting to get off work a bit early that day, but it just wasn't so. The
