April 4th was Easter. I was off of work on Good Friday which turned out to be a blessing because we had a major snow storm blow through and cause a lot of driving issues that day. However, the cable-guy was working through the storm. He came to my place soaking wet from having been outside, but he was nice and got my DVR installed in no time. That's right, I have a DVR again! I never have to miss a show again! I love it, the only bad part is that I am so busy watching all of my favorite shows in the evening, I've been too busy to blog. Saturday the weather was better and we were able to drive to my parents house. We dyed easter eggs and had fun outside throwing slushy snowballs at each other. Easter morning Allyson put on her beautiful Easter dress and we went to church. While we were in church the Easter Bunny stopped by mom and dad's house and hid eggs and Allyson's basket. She had fun searching for everything and exploring the gifts she got.
I went to Ladies Night Out on April 8th and as usual had a great time. This month it was at The Blarney Stone, and Irish pub that is fairly new in town. Then on April 10th my friend S and I went to the Martina McBride/Trace Atkins concert at the Civic Center. I really like Martina so I enjoyed the show. S got us a great deal on the tickets by using her military discount.
This week went by quickly too. Friday was my dad's birthday so I baked him a quadruple chocolate cake, it turned out great! It was a chocoate cake mix with chocolate puding added, chocolate chips mixed and drizzled with chocolate frosting as well as caramel and nuts. Mmmmm! We had also gone out to dinner with them and then decided to stop by a park near my apartment to wear off some of Allyson's energy before going home to eat the cake. It was a beautiful day, probably the nicest spring day we have had yet.
Today Allyson and I went shopping and bought a new grill, some b-day party items for her upcoming party and we each got a pair of shoes. Allyson got silver Dora sandles that light up and I got a very cute pair of black shoes. She refused to try hers on so I'm hoping they fit. It took me over 3.5 hours to put the new grill together this afternoon! OMG, it was crazy! I have put together a lot of stuff, entertainment centers, dressers, baby gear and more but this grill was the worst. But it is together now and I grilled myself a yummy steak and some foil-pouch potatoes this evening and that made it all worth it. I love to grill!! Steaks, brats, chops, chicken, even fish and vegies, it all tastes better on the grill!
That is a very abbreviated version of the past couple of weeks! We have fun stuff coming up this week. My brother D is coming home on Saturday for a visit and we will be celebrating his birthday and Allyson's birthday on Sunday, each about a week early. I still need to get a cake ordered for her. She picked out Dora plates, whistles and stickers for her party. Whistles, my dad will love it, haha! Saturday we are also going to the wedding of one of my cousins. It will be here in town and I know Allyson will have so much fun dancing all night long.
I can't promise to update more often, but I'll try!
