we drove in the car waaayyyy too long,
we ate waaayyyy too much food,
and made lots and lots of great memories!
i took time to reflect on the real meaning of Easter (thank you Jesus for conquering death and dying for my sins!),
my sisters, emily and gretchen helped Sister paint her first ever Easter eggs!
there was lots of "oohing and ahhing" over Brother's head improvements (if you don't know what i'm talking about, find out more about his condition and surgery, here.)
got to see my bff, chelsea (from Nesting Time) and we cuddled each other's babies. so fun!
a trip to the farm wouldn't be complete without a "bobcat" ride from Papa. (Claire even got in on it this time!)

hope your Easter was a blessed one as well~!

I love my earrings...I would say my diamond studs, but I lost one :(, so my cheap studs are great!

My grandmother's engagement ring from the early 1920's became my engagement ring! She gave me the ring because I was named after her - She was "Granny Ruth" and I am Kimberly Ruth! She was very dear to me. I had the ring for several years and wore it proudly even though one diamond was missing. When walking through the mall one day Joel suggested that we drop it off at a jeweler and have it repaired (it needed bridge work too). That night he proposed to me and said that the refurbished ring would be my engagement ring too since it was so special to me. My grandmother actually lost the ring early in her marriage while planting her garden. Year's later while tilling the soil the sun hit something in the turned up soil and it gave a little glimmer. She reached down and to her dismay found her long lost ring. She actually tilled it up again. the ring has a lot of history and sentimental significance to me and that is why it is so special. I will post a pic of it to your email. From Aunt Kim
It was so great to see you this weekend friend! I just wish it could happen more often!
Let's see... I follow your blog already, and the jewelery I couldn't live without would have to be my wedding ring! Now... I'm off to "like" your Facebook page and I will definitely blog about this giveaway too!
I don't currently follow your blog, but I will start. I found it from my friend Chelsea, who is also your friend. :)
The piece of jewelry I wouldn't live without is my wedding ring. Not only do I love it, it's a reminder of my best friend.
