Friday was pretty uneventful, and no pictures were really taken. We went to Good Friday service at our Church, which was really nice. It was hilarious, though, because I admit that I have never actually kissed the cross on Good Friday. New experience for me! It was definitely, different. But, when in Rome, right?
Saturday was spent de-cluttering the house to get it ready to put on the market. Taking down our sports stuff (I was told that a potential buyer has been known to not but a house because the owner was a fan of a team they hated), our personal pictures, and some extra furniture. It was sad, and doesn't feel as "home-y" anymore. But, if it sells the house, it's a small sacrifice.
The dogs really enjoyed the afternoon, though. It was warm enough that they were able to hang outside quite a bit without overheating, and so they sunned themselves most of the day.
We then headed out to Easter Vigil service, which in all honesty was hilarious. We went on base because they had an earlier service, and the Priest said that since people don't come to church for it to last forever (Vigil is usually a good 2 1/2 to 3 hour service), so his goal was to get it under an hour. Umm...what? He was close, coming in right at 75 minutes. I won't go into detail, but quickening the service made some parts quite comical. It was a great service overall, though. Even with the quirks.
Sunday was Easter morning, followed by Brunch. The Melting Pot was offering a great Easter special, so since we gave up desserts for Lent, it seemed like to perfect way to conclude the season. And, as always, it did not disappoint. Yum, yum!

What a good weekend, that food looks tasty!!
That is a speedy Vigil service! I hated the years we went on Saturday because I knew it would last so long. As a kid, I did not want to sit still for that long.
Sounds like a good full weekend! I really want to try out the Melting Pot. I feel like it's something both me and my husband would love.
