Easter Wreath

I've had my mind the past couple of weeks on making an Easter egg wreath for our front door. I finally got it started the other day and then ran out of eggs.... so I finished today! 
I think it's probably my favorite craft I've made.

While going through my camera I discovered some older pictures I've never posted. Here's one of Nicole, Juston, and Austin during our visit to Utah over Christmas. We went to this bounce place for my niece, Jennilyn's, 3rd birthday. It was super fun. Tons of adult siblings acting like 5 year olds again racing through bounce houses. Seriously. We made teams and then did a relay race through these inflatable things. 
I'm pretty sure everyone there, including other children, thought we were crazy.

 He must have blown out all the candles in one blow since he's so excited.
This was my Valentine's craft this year.

 And these babies just came in the mail today! We ordered snorkels for our trip to the Virgin Islands in June. Seemed to make more sense to buy them, then to rent them everyday. 
As you can tell, I'm pretty excited!

Randomness

Nothing incredibly profound to say. Have had a hard time feeling motivation to update the blog over the past month or so. We've been really busy, but with nothing important or cool. (Although we did go to Rascal Flatts on January 21st but I didn't get any great pictures.)

I really just wanted to change my background on my blog since we haven't had a winter wonderland at all this winter. It has been absolutely W.O.N.D.E.R.F.U.L.! Everyone talked about how Columbus gets ice storms and I wasn't too excited about that. But it's been a very warm winter like most of the country has been. Only two or three days where we got an inch of snow and I think I probably had to scrape off my car a dozen times. INCREDIBLE. Have had tons of rain, it's raining as I type. Makes for a "cozy on the couch and read a book" type of evening. I'm reading President Thomas S. Monson's Biography. (He's the Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.) It's amazing. He has lived such an inspirational life. Read it if you get the opportunity. I love reading his life stories and thinking about how incredible and supportive his wife is... Such an example to all of us.

On another random note, I booked our first hotel/place to stay in the Virgin Islands for June! We haven't bought our plane tickets yet, but this place only had two spots left so we had to get it quick. It's this Eco-friendly resort place in St. John. In other words, they're upscale tents!!! We're super excited. Click here to check it out. We decided that since we had a short honeymoon in August when we got married, we would go somewhere when Curtis had a break in June. Alright, I think that's all the randomness I have for today.
