March

In March we said goodbye to Elder Finney. It was so fun getting to know him while he was serving in our area.

Stephen surprised me by setting up a two night weekend slumber party in the front room.

We moved to the apartment upstairs.

March madness Peirce family tournament challenge.

Stephen started his last rotation in his 3rd year of medical school.

Pollen turned everything yellow and Atlanta's spring is gorgeous!

Ate lucky charms all day long on St. Patrick's Day.

Easter

"He is not here, for He has risen."

I cannot think of a more perfect season than spring to celebrate Easter. The blossoms and flowers everywhere, new leaves beginning once again, and the birds are all so happy with the warmer weather. I love knowing that this family of mine that I love so dearly will be together forever because of my Savior, Jesus Christ. What a beautiful gift he has given me. I truly feel his love daily because of my wonderful family who shows their love for me even when I may not be feeling it for myself. Jesus Christ lives and he truly does love each one of us. I am so grateful for my Savior. I love that we have this wonderful day to celebrate and be reminded of him and that He lives.

Our Easter highlights

Our first ward Easter egg hunt as a family. We had such a fun time and didn't even mind the rain.

Everett found two eggs and won a goody bag from the hunt.

Everett also met the Easter bunny and thought he was just the funniest thing ever. It was adorable!

The Easter bunny came Sunday morning and brought Everett a soccer ball along with other fun toys and books.

Stephen sang in the choir at church.

We celebrated Easter dinner with 4 other families and once again truly feel blessed by our ward family here in Atlanta.

Stephen and I watched finding faith in Christ after Everett went to bed.

Oakland Cemetery

Oakland cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Atlanta. It was founded in 1850 and is less than a mile from the heart of downtown Atlanta, a beautiful hidden gem.

February

Stephen and I celebrated Valentines Day a week early by spending the night at the Meridian hotel and were upgraded to a suite! For dinner we went to Maggianos. Grandma Carman was so nice to babysit Everett so that we could have a mini getaway.

We love when grandma comes to visit and while she was here she restocked our freezer again with homemade spaghetti sauce.

Stephen and I have been wanting to start eating healthier so we finally started using our ninja that we got for Christmas. We have the most delicious fruit and vegetable smoothies for breakfast now.

Finally got to see Star Wars! And yes it is now one of my favorite movies.

Lastly I became an Usborne Books consultant.
