Catholics, baskets and old people...

We have been kickin' it here in Ruston and having a pretty good time. Since we got married, this is what we've been up to...

This is my new brother-in-law, Derek (I now have two brother-in-laws named Derek, it's confusing some days)...

He's a crazy, radical, conservative republican who loves Reagan and hates Obama. Ninety percent of our conversations are arguments about politics. But we enjoy it and he's a good guy, for a republican (just kiddin!)

D dub decided recently to become a Catholic we are excited for him because he's excited about it. Here he is on his baptism day..

These are two of my new siblings, I like them and I'm sure they LOVE me...

It was very dark in the room, but I got a few keepers...

If you've never been a part of a Catholic baptism, here's your chance....

So congratulations to D dub on his Catholic initiation! :)

GQ and I also had our first Easter as a married couple. Kids, GQ and I are WAY too old so the Easter Bunny doesn't come anymore so we have to buy each other stuff, it's way lamer!

I am so on the ball that I started getting stuff for GQ's Easter basket WEEKS before Easter. However, I had periodic sugar cravings and by Easter someone ended up eating all of his candy. Come on guys, it's not like he's a kid, he's a grown up so it's not THAT bad.

So I had to go shopping again to replace said candy, I got a bunch of healthy snacks which he loves and I hate so then I didn't have to worry about eating any of it, it worked out pretty well.

We hid our baskets under some towels so no one would peek...

Why is my basket so much smaller? This is gonna change next year, I'm thinking of purchasing this...

Even though my basket was small, I was highly pleased with its content....

Can't you tell?

Chocolate HEAVEN!!!

And can I tell you that I ADORE chocolate covered peeps!

GQ was less spastic about his basket but was happy none-the-less...

Cause I'm a dern good Easter Bunny...

This is our straight-out-of-bed-still-groggy Easter morning picture. Why do we take these awful pictures???

Later, we decided to do a walk for the March of Dimes...

We are cute right!?! We actually DID walk a little...promise.

Our friend Mikey put on the big event and did a really great job. You can't see it in this picture but I know he put in a TON of work.

We love Mikey! :)

My husband is a total NERD, I mean seriously nerdy. He reads ALL THE TIME (and does other nerdy stuff). I swear he has a book in his pocket at all times...even when waiting to do a charity walk...

We did walk but we couldn't take pictures of that because I can't walk and take pictures at the same time, I guess.

It was also GQ's birthday! He turned 30~so happy birthday to Grandpa GQ! It's been his birthday month so he thinks he deserves presents like EVERY day. So here he is him with one of his presents....

Look how 30 is affecting him, his face kills me here.

He got lots of weird stuff from GNC from his brother. I don't really understand what any of it is, all I know is he likes it and always gets me to try it.

Random Story: One time he had me try this energy enhancer stuff so I did. We then went to workout and he said I would be pumping mad iron after taking it. Well I fell asleep doing crunches. It was the oddest thing. Turns out it can have the opposite effect on someone.

So this is what he got, whatever it is. I have no clue.

Fascinating right!?!

Anyway, onto something MORE important :) My bro-in-law also got me a late birthday present. So it was awesome to completely over-shadow my husband on his birthday and still celebrate MY birthday! :) Good times!

I got a $100 gift card to this store in town called Beehive who has the MOST......ADORABLE.......SHOES!

Angel's sing!!!!

But because I am the best wife ever, I am going to devote an ENTIRE post to my husband for his 30th birthday here soon. You'll love it, I know it.
