HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

i think of topics to write about and then i sit down to blog, but i can't remember wat i wanted to write about. hehe. todays been a wonderful day. Easter service was spectacular...! ive included a clip for you to view. we sang our hearts out, raised our hands in praise, and cried tears of joy! after church, johan and i came home and took care of some things around the house. did laundry, dishes, i did some work, and johan did some homework.



recently we worshiped to "friend of God" at church and i just loved taking in the lyrics and letting it soak in:

"Who am I that You are mindful of me,
That You hear me when I call,
Is it true that You are thinking of me,
How You love me, it's amazing!"

its so humbling how great His love is for us. who am i that God would think of me? who am i that He would die for me? today we got to celebrate how Jesus overcame death and Hell, so that we could be saved and have a way to be with Him in heaven. such a beautiful day! thank You, God, for wat Your Son did for us...


we are pretty pumped about our upcoming u2 concert in june. ive been itching to attend other concerts, but i dont really want to attend any of the artists that are coming to the twin cities. some bands/artists id like to see are: vampire weekend, phoenix, sondre lerche, kings of leon, taylor swift, coldplay, michael buble...sigh...if only we had money to do these kinds of things regularly. hehe. johan and i dream of one day visiting other countries just to attend a concert: "oh yeah we're in spain just to see u2 perform." :p

i cut my hair over the weekend. i kinda wished i had cut it shorter. o well! i hate my hair. now that im older and have become lazier, i just want to wash and go. if ur a woman u know thats impossible! but id like to minimize the amount of time i spend on it in the mornings. cutting it shorter seemed like a way for me to do this...we'll see how this week goes!


everyday for work i try to dress nice in heels and make myself feel better and more confident by dressing nicer. awhile back i watched this japanese drama called, "real clothes." its like the japanese version of "the devil wears prada." i liked it, it made me want to dress up and stay fashionable hehe. i think its important for woman to dress up and do make-up each day. i know that im not happy with myself and things about me, but if i try to build confidence and increase my self-esteem each day by focusing on good things about me--it helps...do men do this as well? haha. i know a handful of girl friends who share the same view, but guys probably dont do this. :p

lately johans been very sarcastic towards me. maybe we're getting TOO comfortable with each other hehe. i wonder if that can happen in a marriage where we become so comfortable w/ each other that we forget to treat each other with respect. im guilty of this as well...i guess we need to be more careful about how we address one another. we're approaching our 2nd wedding anniversary in may. we dont have any plans yet, but im really thankful that i found johan. he's such a smart and intelligent man. there are different parts to him that not everyone sees. when i watch him play the guitar and write music--im in awe. =) i hope we grow really old together! today as we walked to church an older couple was walking in front of us holding hands. white-haired and dressed stylishly, the woman was holding a gold clutch and the man in a navy blazer. hehe. i hope johan and i grow old together with white hair and wrinkles. it will be telling of all our years together! =D

well thats it for tonite. i hope u guys had an inspiring Easter weekend! may the week ahead hold great things for us.

God bless,
