And here I am at 0250 on Monday morning still no sleep.  So in 48 hours, I have had 4 hours of sleep. Go me!

I know most of you probably skimmed that, and I don't blame you haha.  But overall I have a blast this weekend.  And honestly, I experienced something I have never experienced before.  Now I know some of you read my last post about being terrified of going to church with him... but I have never been happier I went.  We weren't 10 minutes into the pastor's sermon and I would have swore to you he was talking to me alone. I came to a realization that I want God in my life.  I want to further my faith and believing.  He moved me to tears.  Here I am, walking up for communion trying to hide the tears on my face.  I sat there while everyone else finished getting communion praying to God for forgiveness that I haven't been faithful and not ashamed to be faithful to him.  Prayed that my Father would forgive me for not being there my entire life.  That service moved me more than anything ever before.  And I have never been so happy either.  As I sat there in the parking lot smoking with my boyfriend, trying to explain to him what had happened, I was crying happy tears and laughing.  I have never seen more love radiate from someone before that moment.  He was so happy that I finally felt what so many search for, and I am so happy he was there with me to experience it.

I know that was kind of sappy of whatever y'all will call it, but it is the truth and I am not ashamed nor too soft spoken to say it.  So here is some cake porn of the cake I made when we got home from our little trip. Oh, and the boyfriend's sister and I at the bowling alley.

We had a little too much fun with the blacklights haha

Yes, I took the time to edge it with chocolate chips... 
Yes I know I need a new hobby. 

So there you have it! Easter weekend in a wrap.  I hope yours was equally as interesting or fun.  Comment and let me know how it went! I would love to start hearing from my loyal readers! Love y'all!
