easter

i wish i had a cute picture of drew and I from our first married easter to share.

we were color coordinated and everything.

but nope.

drew was too busy balling it up on the badminton court while i was eating TRIX rice crispy treats, having my little cousin braid my hair and talking about the labels on our ribs. (gluten free sweet and sour and sweet and sour were just a few of the options in case you were wondering ;)

no family photo either. mandy was too busy playing football.

and it was glorious. :)

He knows I am not perfect. I finally am realizing that it doesn't make me ANY closer to Him when I stress out about the calories in my easter brunch meal or if the shirt I really wanted to wear for Easter was in the dirty laundry. Things that I waste hours of my days worrying about? He would much prefer I spent those precious minutes doing other things.

He doesn't WANT me to stress out over not being able to make it to the gym on a regular basis or if my instagram account has lots of followers.

He wants me to LOVE others like He loved me. 

He was perfect to wipe away all my imperfections. and I need to be okay with that.

so we had an perfectly imperfect Easter.

in fact, we didn't even dye easter eggs. (first time in FOREVER. i force people to do it with me usually :)

and we even ate peeps and jelly beans off of the ground that we affectionately named "bunny turds" :) (that the easter bunny had left to point us in the direction of our goodies, of course)

hope you had a great day remembering how much you are LOVED :)
