counting down the hours

My dear friend, Airwoman ShayLee is in town! Last week, we had such a great time. We had a party, went to the Cheesecake Factory with our moms, and went to breakfast at 6 in the morning. She left for a few days to visit her sister, Airwoman Lyndi in Missouri, but she came home yesterday! :)

This weekend is going to be amazing! Kristie is coming in town for the big girls night and sleepover! I am so excited to have almost all of the girls together! Sister Penny actually returns home from her mission today but, it might be too soon. :)

Have a very happy weekend! I know I will.

Easter weekend at glance:

3 hour visit from best friend, Kristie. Sweet bliss..

Bowling, Spaghetti Factory, and Walmart.

Yes, 3 hours isn't much but, we've had shorter visits :)

SO good to see you, love.

Coloring eggs with husband..
I was quite impressed with his creativity.

Family picnic on Antelope Island

Day consisted of the following:

-Picking up Jared's Grandpa. I could talk to him for hours..

"Jared got married! He didn't ask me if he could get married..."

-Eating delicious sandwiches with Easter cupcakes to follow.

-Flying kites.

-Walking down to the "beach" and skipping rocks.

mmm. I could get use to this "Spring" thing.

"Because everybody concentrates on Easter, and I know that without Easter, His death was meaningless. I concentrate on Easter every day. Every day, every day that I draw a breath, I know it is because I found my way out of the darkness. Every day that I go home to my children and I see them, it's because of Easter. Everything I have, everything I am is because I don't celebrate Easter on just Easter. I'm grateful for Easter every day" - Glenn Beck

Happy Birthday, Austin!

Peace.
