p.s. I'm sorry this is kind of long.....

Easter weekend. I decided to come home for the weekend to spend Easter with my family. The weekend started with a great car ride with Jerrica! We talked a lot about how our first year of college is almost over. We don't to leave Logan for the summer and say goodbye to all the amazing friends we met there. I am so happy for the guys who are leaving on their missions! I sure am going to miss them!

I got home yesterday afternoon to an empty house. My mom and dad at an appointment, my sister at work, and my brother somewhere doing who knows what with his friends. I didn't really know what do do with myself so I did my nutrition quiz....whew! Only one more of those! I

That night we had salmon for dinner. YUM....there is nothing like Mom's cooking! I watched half of Indiana Jones and Tangled with my parents. My dad, of course, fell asleep. My brother got a new bed and it is so comfy. He went to a sleepover so I took advantage of the opportunity and went and laid on his bed. I wrote in my journal and then I talked to a very dear friend on the phone......for a really long time. What a great conversation it was!  We both ended up falling asleep and I woke up in the morning in my brother's amazing bed. :)

This morning I continued to write in my journal [I'm really behind :( ] Then I got ready and went to lunch with my mom, Maegan, and Spencer. We went to Pei Wei...yum. This is what my fortune said: "Opportunity awaits you on next Tuesday." I will definitely  update you if anything special happens on Tuesday. ;) I came home and crashed on the couch. My dad came home and laid on the couch as well. I love him SO much!

We went to dinner and then went and saw Soul Surfer. Its a good thing I didn't put any makeup on this morning. I didn't just tear up....the tears were streaming. It was an incredible movie and I am inspired. I definitely recommend that you go see it. After the movie I went and filled up my car with gas. What a painful experience.

Now I am sitting in the dining room listening to pandora, writing this post, and thinking about so many things. Maybe later I will fill you in on all the things that have been running through my mind. Tomorrow is Easter. The day we celebrate the Savior of the world. My Savior. I am so blessed to know about this amazing restored gospel. I know that Christ suffered for me, you, and everyone else out there. Isn't it miraculous? Wow. I just got the chills.

Tomorrow the Easter bunny will come. I'm going to my home ward in my Easter dress. :) Easter dinner with my family. What a treat! Then maybe I will go see my grandparents. I also might go to Dallas Olsen's house to see him open his mission call. Then I will drive back up to Logan. What a beautiful day! There is no other way I would rather spend my Easter Sunday than surrounded by my family and friends! The perfect way to start "dead week."
