Our Easter

Easter was a good celebration.

On Saturday we had two parties to attend so we were super busy.
First was our party with Jared's family. Usually we gather at Grandpa Halling's house but the weather was supposed to be cold so it was changed to the church. But then, turns out it was kinda warm so we had it outside the church. It was quite nice! We had hot dogs of course, then an Easter Egg Hunt/Go Find Your Egg On the Lawn

(Which I love by the way! I'm not a fan of having to look for anything).

Getting the bags ready for the Candy Hunt

Then all the kids go find candy on the lawn.
Jared helped Cooper
(I think Jared was being a little bit of the Candy Hunt Nazi slash Spaz. Cooper just kinda followed him around slightly confused.)

Then off to our second party at my mom's house. Another Easter Egg Hunt.

There's my mom and sisters. I really wanted to post the one where Kid is laughing hysterically but she threatened me...and apparently I'm afraid of her because that picture is not on here.

(Still on my memory card though and that's what matters!)

Blake playing a board game with himself and his Manpris. Just thought it was cute.

It was a really great Easter and we love when we get to spend time with our families. They're fabulous!

Also, we are like 99.6% sure Jared has the job with Hill Air Force Base. Nothing is "Official" yet, but he has had like 5 interviews with supervisors in different departments. A few of the supervisors have called him and told him how bad they want him to work for them. Basically, he just needs to decide who to work for and then wait for them to make it official. It's kinda a slow process out there. He has a couple different options, one is to work on the displays in the F-16s, one is to work on the firing controls on the missels, and I can't remember the rest. He is really excited for it though. I'm glad he majored in something he actually enjoys and gets excited to work with. Oh, and I'm glad there is such a high demand for Electrical Engineers right now...

This whole thing just makes us really excited. We can't wait to get back on our own feet again. We hate not being independent and feeling like mooches. We are so grateful for Richard and Susan letting us stay here and always being willing to help out. We are so lucky to have them and cannot thank them enough! But we are excited to start our life again. It's like we finally get to move on with that next phase in our life and we are looking forward to what the future holds.
