Let me back up before I talk about my Easter adventure, I'm going to recap last night.
Last night Coop, Taylor, and I went to the store and got things to make a delicious fajita dinner. Basically this feast was bomb. Then I made the executive decision to watch Hook. It had been years since I have seen that movie. I was surprised at how funny and what great morals that movie had. The message of family and knowing who you are is powerful. I also think that as a little kid the jokes went way over my head, well I got em' this time!
Now to the main event… EASTER! Coop made the greatest waffles ever. We had some homemade kneaders syrup and I put peanut butter and bananas on the waffle with that divine syrup. Best breakfast ever!
I got to experience a BYU YSA ward again. At least it was in a chapel and not on campus in a classroom or worse the testing center (which I actually had for a semester). Church rocked today, focusing on Christ and the Atonement. It is easy to get caught up in the commercialism of the holiday, which takes the focus off of Christ. But I am grateful for Christ and his life and that He atoned for my sins and that He was lives that I may too live again.
After church I got to caught up with my dear friend Tessa. We roomed together back in the Elms. Good ol' Elms. Worst apartment I have ever lived in, but made some of my favorite memories there. So it had been quite awhile since I have seen her. I heard all about her adventures in Canada and what she has been doing since 08' or 09' or however long ago it was. I even learned about her childhood, which I was surprised I didn't know very much about.
The very best part of the day was visiting Isaac and Carlene! I consider Big I to be one of my dearest friends. I have missed his sense of humor and his wits. I was so happy to get to spend more time with Carlene, too. I felt like she opened up to me and this is the first time that I really got to spend quality time with her. Big I and Carlene are so cute together and I can't wait to see them get married in July. Carlene slipped me a peak of her wedding dress, which is stunning! Absolutely stunning! She is going to be a gorgeous bride. I am so happy for them! I was so happy to get to spend time with such good friends. I wish I could hang out with them more often. So as we were cooking a tasty Easter dinner and catching up on the latest news of each others lives, we dyed Easter eggs. Not going to lie, I haven't done that since I was a kiddo. It was fun and Carlene is super artistic so she made some sweet designs. (And the picture I took doesn't give Carlene any justice to her eggs).
