We survived.

Yep-we survived Easter. We now have officially "survived" the two biggest Christian holidays as a large family & as a ministry family. Holy Week is CRAZY for a pastor! Dan is an awesome husband, father, and pastor. I am so proud of all of his hard work in all of those areas. He has tremendous responsibility in EVERY SINGLE aspect of his life. Poor guy-I'm amazed that he doesn't have a nervous breakdown! Do you know what he does on his day off? Does he go have a little "alone" time? Does he sleep in? Nope-he gets up, often cooks an amazing breakfast for all of us, sometimes lets me sleep in, and works tediously at his honey-do list. Yesterday, he spent about 4 hours putting a new storm door on the front door for us. I tell you-that man is AMAZING. I thank God for him each & every day.

For those of you who don't live with a pastor-don't forget that they are people too. They didn't just miraculously fall out of the sky glowing and ready for that huge pedestal they are too often placed on. Tell your pastor "thanks" and that you appreciate them.

Hey DAN-I love you! I am proud of you. Thank you for always being my shepherd & for the hard work you do for your family, your church, and your community. You are awesome.
