Happy Easter!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! One thing that I'm saddened about with the "west coast" is that people don't really gather together as families on Easter Sunday. It's not a huge deal like it was in my family. If I didn't have a root canal on Friday then I would have planned a big feast. We are getting together with Kacey and Chris today, but it's more of a BBQ. I want to have an Easter with ham, mashed potatoes, corn and all of the good stuff. Maybe next year when I can actually eat it! :) Luckily my jaw and mouth don't hurt as much as I expected them to. That makes me REALLY happy!

My friend shared this link from Fox news. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/04/22/especially-easter-easy-mock-jesus-christ-dont-dare-mock-faiths/ I was surprised that it was actually shared on the news. It seems controversial because it is about Jesus. I guess we are just so conditioned to think since we're not supposed to say Happy Easter or Merry Christmas anymore at work that we can't talk about Jesus period. So needless to say, I enjoyed the article. They made a good point about Lady Gaga in it too. About a month ago she changed her profile picture on Facebook to the cross and the name Judas. It really disgusted me. There have always been some things that I disagreed with her on, but I let it slide because I liked her songs. Well, no longer.

It is important for us to understand the importance of today, Christ's resurrection. We should surround ourselves with those who also have a love and appreciation of Him. Happy Easter, everyone!

It's Been A Long Time

Hey All!

Sorry it's been a while. We've had a lot of great things happen lately. 1) Joseph had 1.5 classes left until he's done with his Associate's Degree!!! 2) Joseph passed the first part of his A+ Certification yesterday and he will take the 2nd half this coming Friday. 3) I'm finally off all of my pain prescriptions for my jaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My jaw is feeling so much better now. I still get some headaches and my jaw hurts a little bit now and then, but it's really nothing I can't handle.

We started a garden over at the Stake Plots this year. We planted tomatoes, bell peppers, yellow squash and zucchini. I'm really excited for these to start growing.

Next week we are going to SeaWorld with some friends of ours. I'll be sure to post pictures from that. ... I swear I had more to write when I started this post, but now I'm drawing a blank. Oh well!

Hope you are all having a great Saturday!
