Long Table Event

At the end of every year Matt and I host all of his staff (head coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, managers etc & their significant others) for a meal, to thank them for all of their work during the athletic year.  The group is getting larger and larger and so we thought it would be a good year to mix things up a bit.  We came up with the idea of a long table event.  It is exactly how it sounds - a meal shared at a long table, at center court in the Columbia Gym - the place that is "home" for so many of those people during the season!

all four of us worked hard to set up the event :)

Bearcat paw and jersey cookies at every place setting were a hit!

The Feast! (it turned into a LONG table - 15 people on either side)

like one big happy family - the food was AMAZING!!!

we are so thankful for Matt's staff - they make his life manageable - they are a talented team - a true blessing!

Master Matt!

Matt finished his Masters of Science in Leadership this past week!  I could not be prouder!  He worked so hard over the past two years - on top of his full time job, full time daddy duty (not to mention welcoming a new son in the middle of his studies) and full time husband - he aced his Masters!  He finished with a GPA of 3.85!  He did amazing at balancing all of his different duties.  He often worked late into the night because he made us a priority during the day - good man!

Matt's co-workers made him this diploma :)

B was SO sick at the beginning of the month - here he is "sleeping" on the tub while I was taking a bath - it was the saddest thing

Easter

We had a great Easter Weekend!  On Good Friday we shared brunch with Tim & Tricia

Trish gave me a selfie stick so of course we had to test it out!

Dying eggs with the boys - they both thought it was pretty awesome

Easter Sunday!

after church we did our annual Easter Egg hunt - another hit at our house!

the bunny ears made an appearance

Sunday night Grams & Gramps flew in and on Monday evening we had our Easter feast!

Thankful for all that Easter means - that we serve a living God - a God who died and rose again!  We remembered that, as we gathered to celebrate!
