HE IS RISEN!!!

Happy Easter to you all! I hope that you are having a wonderful day celebrating.

My day started out very early this morning. My husband worked nights last night and got off at 6AM. He woke us up when he got home and we got ready for the 8:30AM service at Lakewood Church up in Houston.

We have been members of Lakewood Church since 2002 and we just love the Osteen Family. Many people ask me what it is like to attend one of their services and I all I can say is that it is AWESOME!! The Praise and Worship is like no other church I have ever been too and the of course Joel Osteen's messages of hope and encouragement leave you feeling loved and uplifted. Yes the church is huge, but if you have ever gone you would probably agree that once you are there it doesn't feel like you are in a huge arena. It feels warm and personal and you feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. God shows up every Sunday! You better believe it. We have tried other churches and to this day have not been able to find the same connection as we do there. If you are ever in the Houston area, you must go to one of their services. You are going to love it.

After the service we ate at my most favorite restaurant in Houston, Chuy's Mexican Food, over on Westheimer. It was so delish! It had been a while since my BFF and I had gone and I was going through some serious withdrawals. I feel better now! LOL

When we got home I took a little nap (ahhh it was so nice) and then got up and put the Easter Ham in the oven. The day is almost over and I can't believe that I did not take a single photo today. Darn it. Oh well, we did take some on Friday though.

A friend of ours told us about this big field of Bluebonnets here in League City and we all headed out for some photos. My BFF Wendy and her daughter Catherine joined us and we got some awesome photos. Every year we miss the bluebonnets because we don't want to drive up to the Hill Country, but not this year. They were pratically in our own backyard! So these are our Easter photos. Hope you like them.
Hugs, Heidi

Beautiful pictures! I just visited my parents in Dickinson and had to drive through the hill country...actually through bluebonnet territory...beautiful! I loved seeing all the flowers and people pulling over to enjoy them! Where in League City is the field of blue bonnets?

East of I45. Take HWY 96 east toward Kemah. You will see a new Kroger grocery store on the left side. Approximately 1/2 mile past the Kroger on the left is a small field of Bluebonnets. It is on private property but the owners encourage folks to stop. There is a small pond out there too which makes for some nice photos.
