Happy Easter

Easter Is probably one of my most favorite holidays! My Grandma Atkinson has a tradition where we get together the Saturday before Easter and have a fun family lunch and a HUGE! Easter egg hunt. We usually go to Grandmas for lunch but they had to go to a funeral so they weren't able to be at the lunch, so this year we went to my Aunt Amy's house and had our lunch.
We have a tradition that every family brings some kind of lunch, we then put a number on them and we have everyone draw a number and whatever number you get that's the food you will be eating plus the number you get will be the person you get to eat with. For the past 3 years I've had my little brother Kreed and low and behold we got each other again this year! We always have so much fun with each other. We had a yummy sandwich with apples slices, pickles, pringles chips and cheese. Like I said it was YUMMY!
After our lunch we went over to Grandmas and had our Easter egg hunt. It's always a blast to look for Easter eggs no matter how old you are. I had to go to work after the hunt but besides that everything was so much FUN!
Easter Sunday after church we went to Grandma Atkinsons and ate our Easter dinner once again it was so YUMMY!!! After we got done with dinner we went to Taylor's family's house to spend one last time with his sister before she moves to Virginia. I love my family so much! I really am so blessed to have them in my life.

My Best Friends Endowment Session

Going to the Temple for the first time is an exciting and scarey time. I remember the first time I took my endowments out, I really had no idea what to expect. I was so happy that I had so much love and support from not only my own family but from my husbands family.
Today I went to my best friends endowment session. She looked so beautiful! I loved that I was able to be their with her parents to support her. I can't believe that she's going on a mission, Valerie and I have been best friends since 4th grade and our friendship has grown stronger and stronger everyday.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I am going to miss Valerie. She has been the one I go to when I feel like the world is going to end and crash down on me. But this is something that the Lord wants my friend to do, she is going to be an amazing missionary and is going to change the lives of so many people. she is a wonderful person and who ever gets her for a mission companion is in for the best time of her life. I love you Val!!!
