Easter Weekend

No one really has to read this post, its going to be long and kind of rambling. Its mostly just so I get it down. I am finding that my blog is turning in to my journal. I am much more likely to do this than write it down on paper. And I really want to get some scrapbooking done, but I haven't for a while, so its my scrapbooking too.

This Easter was a little different for us. We were going to go to Kimberly, but I had things going on in this neck of the woods, so we're holding off on Kimberly for a while.

Friday night I drove to Idaho Falls. I hung out with Abby and mom a bit and then picked dad up from the Salt Lake Express stop at 12:30 A.M. My poor mom was trying to figure out how she was going to be able to stay up and get him so I offered to do it. The next day I went to my cousin, Christie Call's baby shower. It was at Uncle Gary's house. Christie is the cutest pregnant lady! She is going to be a great mom. They are naming the baby Lynnli Dene. She got so much stuff at the shower! I made a knitted bib for her. Anyway, it was fun to see family there and chat a bit.

After the shower I drove back to Salmon with grandma and grandpa Stucki following me. They came up because Lindsey's husband Tyson got ordained to be an elder at Stake Conference today. They got to see our house, which they liked, but Grandma wasn't too impressed with Ginger. Every time people come over Ginger turns in to a slight nuisance. She doesn't jump on people as much as she used to, but she gets so excited and can't contain herself - kind of how I was when I was little and visitors came to the house....

It was neat to have stake conference on Easter Sunday. I really enjoyed the talks - which were mostly about how we can find happiness and how we are meant to be happy. It was special to be there for Tyson's ordination and to sit with my grandparents. I love them so much and am grateful for everything they do for me. They really are wonderful people and I'm so glad I have been able to be a part of their lives.

Later, we opened the Easter bags that mom sent up with me. That was fun! I love it when she does cute things for us! Then we just hung out, not doing too much. It was nice to have a relaxing day. I am glad that we get to celebrate the huge sacrifices that our Savior made for us every year. I am so thankful for all that He did for us and have a testimony that He loves us. I hope everyone had a great day!
