The hunny do list is getting shorter! We worked really hard this weekend on the back yard and it looks better than it has in a while. We are filling the pool back up and hopefully will be ready for some swimming and a BBQ here in a few weeks if the weather will get hotter a little bit. It felt really good to be home and get things accomplished. I was so sore on Saturday night, we just vegged out it was so nice and my sunburned thanked me too. :)
Luckily on Friday night we were able to have a date night, we met up with Ethan and Megan who are also newlyweds and moved into our ward about 6 months ago. Ethan works with our friend Matt and we met them at a fight night a month or two ago and decided they were people we definitely wanted to get to know better. We met up at Yard House and since it was good Friday the waitress recommended the fish and since the Sea Bass is my favorite thing on the menu I went with it! We had a great meal and got to know them alot better! I didn't think about my outfit choice very well I wore this dress with tights and some boots and so when it came to something to do after dinner we went bowling and I ended up looking like this :
LOVELY!! Oh well it was fun! Next time I think we are going miniature golfing.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday, Ryan and I started it off at church. I think I have mentioned before but we teach a class of 12, 10year olds. Its pretty crazy but they are good kids. Ryan and I normally switch teaching the lesson every other week. This week was my turn to teach about the resurrection. I use Sugar Doodle (which is a website with teaching aids for LDS classes) alot to help find interesting ways to get the lesson across to the kids, and I found a Easter Egg Hunt lesson that then would have clues and scriptures to teach the lesson. It had 11 clues and we have normally 10 kids so I thought it would be perfect, except for this week we only had 3 kids! Made for a longer lesson, but we got through it and each kid learned a little more about the resurrection and got 2 treats (rice krispie treats with Robin Eggs in them) so I think they were happy!
For Sunday dinner we were able to go over to my parents since they are home now, and we invited Ryan's parents so we could have both sides of our families for Easter dinner, it was so nice and I love the fact that our families are so close and we can be one big family. We didn't go the traditional Ham route, we had homemade Cafe Rio pork salads which were SOOO good. I made the Cilantro Lime Rice, my mom made the Pork and the tomatillo dressing, Matt brought tortilla's and the beans and Renae made these fabulous brownies and brought fruit. It was so good to just be back at my parents house and have our whole family (minus Josh who I missed terribly) there to celebrate the Atonement and Resurrection of our Savior. I really felt the spirit all day yesterday and was just so grateful for where my family is today. I am lucky to be able to share this holiday with my them and will never take for granted again the time I get to spend with them.
For those curious my dad's tentative find out where he stands appointment is on the 14th of May so we really won't know anything until then. He is not on any medication right now and he looks great and I think he feels pretty good. He is an amazing man who is so strong and has handled all the drugs and treatments they have thrown at him, I really hope this is the last of it for a long while and he can get back to doing what he loves (golfing, travelling with my mom, working on his car etc) and just be able to live his life again. I pray every day for my dad to be healed and hope the Lord hears me and answers my prayer!
I hope everyone had an amazing Easter and remembered that is not just about the bunnies and candy!
Until next time...
