What a great day! He is RISEN!

Kathy and I enjoyed going to FBC Mountain Park this morning. We heard the choir’s Easter cantata “I will Rise.” It was great!

After church we went to Fuddruckers to have lunch with Kathy’s brothers and sisters and extended family.

24 people there!

They’re a great crew! Always enjoy hanging out with them.

Miles and his sister Roxy and her baby Isabella also got to come!

Came home and rested. Then sat outside and soaked up sun for awhile. That always makes me feel groovy.

Then spent time with Kathy watching some movies. I didn’t like them, so I went to packing for my trip to Costa Rica next Saturday.

I did a packing dry run to check to see how the space would turn out. Looks like I’ll be fine. I’m super conservative on what I take. Just the bare essentials, baby!

A lot of my space is camera gear. Even that I really took a hard look at. I eliminated a bag and went to zip lock baggies instead.

All clothing based on 5 day rotations. I’ll wash clothes twice.

My standard attitude is “Pack your bag and take out half of it.”

This evening Jesse and I worked on making sure that all the details for the two teams coming in for Spring Break are perfect. It’ll be a busy week. Especially Monday through Wednesday.

I’ll have Friday off for final prep.

Then leave real early (4:30am) from my house in Stone Mountain.

I’ll have a chance to rest on the plane.

Sure was great to have more family time!
