Our last NC Easter

There aren't very many Easter pictures this year.  The days leading up to Easter were filled with packing and packing and more packing for our Easter day move to Iowa.  We did manage to squeeze in some time to color eggs.  We just did it earlier than usual and hid them earlier than usual and then made egg salad out of them for the road on Saturday before we left.  It's hard to hide eggs in an empty house anyway.  On Easter morning I hid plastic eggs around our shoes, suitcases, behind doors, and the few random boxes left in the house.
 Hadlee's job during egg coloring was just to look cute and laugh a lot.  She did good!
 We went to church for the last time (with Jeremy's mom who was there to drive one of our cars to Iowa) then came home to load the last stuff up and take our last Easter picture in front of our first home.  Yes, I was sad.  I still am as I write this.  We had a lot of good memories in that house.  It's hard to leave the house where you started your family, hard to leave all the things you loved about the house and it's location and it's neighbors.  Hard to leave the town where Jeremy and I started our married life together and made so many memories for our first 6 1/2 years.  (Have I really only been married 7 years??)

Now on to bigger and better things and many more memories here in Waukee, Iowa!
