Cutest Kid at Church

What a great week!

After Monday's failure at Fiesta Mall, I went to Tempe Marketplace and got the phone case returned without ANY issue and got the ghost armor replaced on my phone. I also got a car wash because it was time, and they have a gas discount with a wash. Total success and Indigo and I shared a a smoothie, which she LOVED. It is so fun to see her enjoy new foods and flavors.

The rest of the week flew by. Emily and Tito watched Indigo overnight. I met them for dinner (along with her parents and "cousin" Eli) and handed her off. She enjoyed dinner at King's Fish House. Grilled artichoke was a big hit and I ordered a dish with pineapple and peas and rice which she enjoyed. I'm glad that she's pretty good at restaurants. We like to eat out and it's nice to be able to take her along.

David came home after working the Good Friday church service and we had a date night planned on Mill Ave (as part of the downtown Tempe business board, there was an event he was going to), but he came home with a very sore eye! He drove through something on the bike and it got him in the eye. There was no way we were going out. He was able to sleep and in the morning he was still in pain so we looked at our options. I called our eye doctor and she said to go to Urgent Care. I called Urgent Care and they said to go to the ER. Knowing that the ER might take several hours and could cost hundreds of dollars because of our health plan, I suggested the MinuteClinic at CVS. It's staffed with a Nurse Practitioner and I thought that we could find out what might be wrong and figure out the treatment options. The NP saw him pretty quickly and found he had a scratch on his cornea. She gave him antibiotics and said it's like a skin cut and would heal in a day or so. So, we got a diagnosis and great care for $0 copay and the cost of the prescription vs. hundreds of dollars and time (that we didn't have) at the ER.

Emily and Tito had Indigo all Saturday because we had a long rehearsal for Easter Eve service. They tried to take her to see the Easter Bunny but she was having none of it. I have to admit, the Easter Bunny is a little creepy, especially when you are little. But I appreciate the attempt! Emily has so much fun playing "auntie" and I love that she tried. Our friends stayed for church and we had a nice dinner afterward with some good conversation.

Easter Sunday was AWESOME! The theme at church was Insurrection and they set the crucifixion story in the 1840's with video, costuming and set. Indigo's Easter outfit from Grandma and Grandpa Empey was a sailor dress and hat. It was as if she was costumed specifically for the day. She looked SO CUTE!!! I'm biased, I know, but it was so fun to have her walk around as people came in. Everyone commented and she had a blast being so doted on. It was very fun. And service was great. I ran the light board and feel very blessed to have an opportunity to enhance people's experience during worship and to really enjoy church as much as I do.
