A different Easter
This Easter was very different from those in the past. First of all, this was me and Richard's first Easter as a married couple, it was really great to spend it together! It was fun putting up the few Easter decorations I have, thanks to my Grandma Annie : )
Second, this was our first Easter in Washington. Needless to say, the weather was very different from what we are used to in Arizona. Usually on Easter we can wear shorts and dresses and spend the majority of the day outside. This year, it was all pants and jackets for us! and it rained the entire day. At one point, I wanted to get a picture of me and Richard, so we ran outside for a few seconds in the rain : ) You can't tell, but the rain was dropping down on us in this picture.
A great part of our Easter was that we were able to go to church together in the morning to celebrate everything that Jesus has done for us. Then we got to have a great lunch at Richard's Aunt Terri's house with Don and Lori and a few other family members. To make it feel more like home, I made a regular dish at my family gatherings and brought it to Aunt Terri's, a fruit pizza!
Like always during holidays or special times, it was hard being away from my family this past weekend. I was able to talk to a lot of them on Sunday and my dad even sent us a video text with everyone saying hi. I was a little jealous that we missed their Easter Badminton Tournament in my parents backyard and the beautiful, rain-free weather they had, but Richard and I were very thankful for the family that we do have up here and spent time with.
Hope you had a Happy Easter!
