I was Totally excited to leave on Friday morning! We drove to Locust Grove, Ok. First to visit my mother and step father Larry. We had a great visit and mom gave me an early birthday gift.
Okay I collect pigs and this is a pig dressed like a chef holding a sign that says "Chef's Special".
I really like it because it goes with the decorative plates Ernie got me for an anniversary gift.
So we leave mom's and get on the road to Eureka Springs. We stoped at Natural Srpings State park for lunch and enjoyed the weather and sunshine.
Finally we arrived in Eureka Springs Arkansas after what seemed like and eternity in the Ozark Mountains! The little Lodge that we stayed at was only about a mile and a half from the Great Passion Play and we had dinner at Forset Mountain Restaraunt. --Bye the way if you ever go there the dinner buffet is 9.50 and very limited. No one in our group really liked it.
Then it was on to the Passion Play! The weather was perfect but the seats were narrow. I really enjoyed it though.
I watched The Passion of Christ film that Mel Gibson put out but this was much more compelling. It was in a language that I speak and it was played out right before my very eyes!
We really had a great time!
Today I started my first day of work as our Church's Secretary. I am really going to enjoy it. I know it will be slow paced for a while but God will bless our church and it will start to grow. We are looking at hiring a Youth/Music Minister and having another person to do things for will pick up my pace.
Well Tomorrow is my 8th Anniversary. It is hard to believe that Ernie and I have been married this long. I mean it seems to have flown by so quickly! God really blessed me with a keeper when he put us together. I pray that my children will listen to God's direction concering their mates. I know it is sometimes a struggle for us as Christians but I know that Gods will is perfect.
I have been praying for our new addition. I know we don't know his/her name yet but I pray just the same.
Holly seems excited to be getting a sibling. I know she misses being a big sister and she will be great at it.
Well I don't have much time and I need to get some things done tonight.
Take care, God Bless and please keep us in your prayers!

I've been to the Passion Play with mom. It is a wonderful place. I want to take my family but they said that they would rather not thinking that it is just like some musical that you see at church during Easter. They're just missin out.
Glad to hear that you had so much fun!
