Hey everyone!!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!!! Christ is Risen! 
In this family, yesterday was not only Easter, but also my mom’s birthday!!!!!! My sister and I made her a single serving carrot cake, because back in March, on my sister’s birthday, mom said that her cake looked amazing and that she wanted one as well! 
We had some family time in the morning, and went to church in the afternoon. The service was really great!!! The church choir did a cantata with TONS of gorgeous music and we really celebrated Easter for what it truly is: Jesus’ resurrection!!!! How was your Easter????
So, today is playoff game day!!! We’re Memphis Grizzlies fans….and my dad has been able to watch the games online! Mom and I are planning a special surprise for him! He always says that the Neely’s BBQ Nachos, which are sold at Grizzlies games, are the best. So, when I saw this BBQ sauce recipe, adapted from the Neely’s, I immediately told my mom. We’re making it for the first time ever today and having some BBQ nachos for dinner!!!! I’m soooo excited because I think that dad will LOVE it!!! Another cool thing about this game is that my dad’s best friend will be there, so we’re going to “watch out” for him as we’re watching the game!!
As for work, this week I have to wrap up my NSLC stuff so that it can get in the mail to their office in time!!!! I honestly can’t believe how fast time is going by!!! I only have a couple more weeks of school, then a short break, then CHICAGO!!!! Wow!!
What does your week look like????

Sounds like a great week, and a fun thoughtful way to surprise both your mom (carrot cake) and your dad (nachos)!
I have today off from teaching, but will be super busy the rest of the week–I’m looking forward to the weather being nicer (if it ever stops raining!).
