Easter

Wow! I am so behind. I didn't even realize I hadn't posted about Easter. Silly me. Well, first I have to say how much I love this holiday. I love knowing that my Savior died to save me, but even more than that, I am so grateful to know He lives!!! It is such a gift and blessing in my life to have this knowledge and I thank Heavenly Father daily for it. Getting to hear General Conference that day was extra special; hearing the words of the latter day prophet while celebrating the Savior's resurrection was amazing.

On the secular side of the holiday, it was different, as I am sure all holidays will be while we are apart from our families. Having spent every holiday of my life with them and just now being away these last few months is a hard thing some days. We are supposed to be here, though and I am so grateful that we are. It is such an amazing gift for our family. We are so blessed with great friends and had them over to celebrate the holiday. I don't have a lot of great pictures, but here are the few I did take.
