We had an interesting weekend. Chris was on Spring break from the college so he had Thurs-Mon off. In addition to the wonderful Easter party at Lani's on Saturday we had two others that we didn't make it to. Friday afternoon I was at Mom's with the kids. She had a heart proceedure Wednesday and I just wanted to make sure she was taken care of. She has wonderful brothers, sisters-in-law, and friends that have brought her food, took her to and from the hospital, and that just came to make sure she was doing well. Thank you to all of you for your love and support.

Chris went in Friday afternoon to prep food for the Ward Easter breakfast, he is on the activities committee. He works with a guy named Gus on the food. I think they have way too much fun to call it work, or service. :)

We ended up in Evanston for part of the weekend. We took some tires up to a lady there and went to look at a truck. We saw a lot of deer on the way up, but almost twice as many dead as alive. I couldn't believe it! Usually we would expect to see one or two but there were at least 50 dead off the side of the road. There was even a small elk at the mouth of the canyon. It was really sad to see. I ate the worst burger and fries I've ever had at Wally's Burgers. The fries weren't fully cooked and were dripping with grease. The burger just wasn't flavorful. But the onion rings were great. I'm glad we got the sides to all share, that would have been an even bigger waste of money if we had ordered our own! So if you are going through Evanston any time soon, DO NOT stop at Wally's!

Anyway, we are back to our routines today, I hope! It was fun to have Chris off work all that time, but I think we always like to get back to "normal". We did have a lot of fun this Easter weekend. And most importantly, we were able to remember the sacrifice of our Savior. I am so grateful for Him and His atonement for each of us. I know that He lives and loves us. I'm thankful for family, both mine and Chris's and for the family we have together. I know that it is fun to go to these family gatherings, but more importantly, it is important to be together as family. To build our bonds and friendships with one another. We strengthen each other and I'm so grateful for the people in our families. I love you all!
