Well Easter went Fantastic! Saturday was a hit. Ben's grandparents loved the kids and his whole family was so welcoming to me. I found out that his great aunt laura ( his grandma's aunt) is the oldest Uof M graduate. She earned her teaching degree one class at a time. How cool is that.
The kids had an Easter Egg hunt at his grandma's well it was more of a scavenger hunt, the kids got a piece of paper with clues and they had to find their eggs, then Ben's aunt surprised us all with a hunt for the adults. Ben and I were on a misson...We found them all and came in second place. Not bad for a beginner!
The Easter Bunny does not visit our house Sunday Morning, its always been that way so that we were never late for church because we were playing with our toys and eating chocolate in our Easter best. So Sunday morning Ben and I were up bright and early to go to church with his dad. The church had a wonderful Easter breakfast of Eggs, Sausage, Biscuts and Gravy, Pancakes, Bacon, OJ and coffee. Needless to say I was full. It made it very hard to stay awake during the service, I always need a nap right after I fill my tummy. I made it through the service with only a few yawns. (Breakfast started at 8 in Swartz Creek, so were up at 6). After church Ben and I came home, (Bailey and Hunter were with my Grandma so they could go to church with her and Ethan was with Bens brothers) I started to make dinner for that evening. We had Lasagna, Salad, Cottage Cheese and Garlic Bread. It was a complete hit, his family loved it ( I took dinner to their house) While dinner was cooking at his parents house, Bens parents and Ben and I took a walk and I got to experience some of what it was like when Ben was a child. where he played, forts he built and trouble he got into. It was really nice.
The weekend was great. I must say I am quite happy with the way it went. Ben and I are still having a few bits of trouble here and there, I just don't know how to fix them. I just can't seem to portray to him how happy and appreciative I am. I try, and I think its enough, but its not getting the job done. Neither of us feel appreciated. I've got some work to do. I honestly think it is becasue I am getting back down in the dumps. I have put on 10lbs over this winter and I just don't seem to have the energy I had before. I need a boost. What I really need is summer I need the warm air and the fresh breeze to get me motivated. I am going to talk to my doctor and get back on my medication for awhile. I was taking Wellbutrin and it really seemed to help raise my spirits. I guess I am gonna take it for awhile longer. I am having a bit of trouble seeing the good in every day. I am always irritated, and on edge. I don't want to live like this. I have got to fix this.
Ok. Enough for now, Hope you all have a great day!

So glad it all went well over Easter!
Good for you for knowing that you need some improvement. A lot of women are in denial in that area.
I know you have heard this before and you have probably even said it to someone else before but get some good exercise in! Definitely still talk to you doctor but hey, it can't hurt!
I didn't doubt Ben's family would love you and the kids. I mean, duh! :D
The scavenger hunt sounds like fun!
Glad you had such a great Easter. Hope you're having a great week!
Now that Spring is here, get outside and soak in some of those happy rays. That might be all you need to raise those spirits. If not, then there's no shame in getting outside help with meds. We all have things we need to improve about ourselves, so don't beat yourself up.
Today is a new day and another chance. Just keep trying! Changes can be gradual... you don't think you change at all but then it's been a year. You look back a year and realize how much you really did change.
I can never seem to keep my comments short!
