Easter Goodness

So I was going to wait until after the weekend to post so that I could post some pictures too, but being the vain person I am and that I can just tell this weekend is not going to be a photogenic one, we'll just go with no personal portraits this post. Ha ha. I am excited for Easter! I have always claimed Easter as my favorite holiday. We always got baskets full of candy and the Easter Bunny would hide them from us so we would wake up on Sunday mornings in search of our baskets. Juan and I continue this tradition, and it's much easier to find the baskets in a one-bedroom apartment. An extra tradition I started with Juan is that we not only get candy for easter, but one present. I'm always finding reasons to get a present! We usually just get each other a dvd or something. This year I got him a dvd that I really want, and maybe he doesn't want as much, but that's okay. Tonight we are going to an Easter egg hunt at my parents' house and also having Easter dinner with my family on Sunday. The dinner is probably a huge reason why it's my favorite holiday as well! Of course through all this candy and food and festivities, I enjoy the holiday to think about the real meaning of Easter and how grateful I am to have the gospel in my life and the knowledge that my Savior loves me enough to die for me. I take that for granted way too often.

On a side note, I was on such a reading kick! I read 5 books in 2 weeks and that rarely happens for me. I was so excited and then I started The Scarlet Letter. I remember reading this in high school and I remember liking it. Well right now I am stuck on the first 20 pages and it is frustrating. I have been reading sparknotes.com every day to find out what the few pages I read actually mean. Ah, I am a mess, I used to be smarter than this. I guess it shows what one year out of college does to you, my brain is slowly clearing the memory.
