I hope everyone has a blessed Easter spent remembering our LORD and SAVIOR'S death, burial and resurrection.
I kinda fell off the face of blog-land for a few weeks. I've been very preoccupied and overwhelmed with a secret "project" that I've been working on but I can now share that:
I PASSED the Pennsylvania Property & Casualty Insurance Licensing Exam!!!
The hubby and I traveled to Harrisburg Monday so that I could take my exam. I was so nervous!!!! I studied the material and took practice quizzes for weeks but still was unsure of what the final outcome would be. I prayed so hard the whole time I took the test.
The wording was different on the exam than was in my online course, so I made many educated "guesses". I might not have gotten the high score I wanted but I was over the minimum score of 70% and that is all that matters. It was either PASS or FAIL. Whew! Huge sigh of relief!
I start my new job at State Farm on May 1st so I have just over a week to get things situated at home and work on a routine. I will be working full-time. In fact, it is an actual 9-5 job.
Now on with the post!

The weather outside is:
We had a nasty storm Saturday night that knocked the electric out for a lot of people in my area. Thankfully, we didn't lose our electricity at home.
This next week looks very nice with some great temperatures. I'm going to enjoy my swing as much as possible.
On the to-do list:
It is 8:17pm when I am typing this post so not much else on the to-do list for today. I might try to work on writing down what I want my weekly routine to look like so that I can start getting into some good habits.
Happening this week:
~I have to go to our local library to get my fingerprints done for my licensing application tomorrow.
~The hubby has a dentist appointment and Laken has an eye appointment on Thursday.
~Laundry, groceries and cleaning on Friday
~A few of the ladies from Church and I are going to a Ladies Spring Luncheon on Saturday at a Church about 2 hours from here. I volunteered to drive even though I've never been there before. I really don't mind driving new places as long as I have my Google Maps!
I'm getting ready to listen to "Fragile Designs" by Colleen Coble. It is the April selection of the Good for the Soul Women's Book Club. I'm a little late to the party but hopefully I can get it finished before the Zoom Book Club Meeting.
Listening to:
Right now I'm listening to the hubby watch an action movie in the Family Room. I usually have music playing in the background but didn't even turn it on yet tonight.
Watching:
The only show I've really been watching is Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3. Anybody else watching it? If so, what are your thoughts? I've been making the hubby watch it with me so I have someone to talk to about it :)
In the Kitchen:
We've been experimenting with Gluten Free foods. I'm surprised at the variety of Gluten Free options there are at the market but also a bit shocked at the prices! I'd love any input from fellow Gluten Free eaters/cookers/bakers.
In the Craft Basket:
Nothing. A big, fat nothing. I've been so busy, overwhelmed and preoccupied with my studies that I haven't even picked up anything that looks crafty.

No new pictures recently.
Prayer Requests
~Laken's health and school. She has a little over a month left of her senior year. I pray that she can finish strong!
~My Dad has to have a heart valve replacement. I would appreciate your prayers that they can replace the valve using the minimally invasive procedure and that they won't have to do open heart surgery. (continued)
~My new job and routine.
~As always, prayers for the safety and well-being of all school/college kids. (continued)
~Our Country, our Leaders. (continued)
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said."
