He Is Risen Indeed!

I had a good Easter. Church was really really good this morning. The sermon was awesome. Pastor Dan was really great. He preached on the Resurrection, obviously, and was saying how the women were so faithful and how they were the first ones to really believe in Christ's resurrection. He went on to talk about how the debate of the ordination of women has continued over the past century and that really the whole thing should be reversed to the women debating whether or not men should be ordained since the women were the first to believe while the men doubted. Yes!

The weather was clear, sunny and.....82 DEGREES! Woo hoo! Yee haw!

After church Emily and I went to the nursing home/assisted living place we visit every now and then. Two of our friends, Georgia and Lorraine, had passed away since we'd last been there. That was really sad. Many other people were really glad to see us, though. This one little old lady, Alicia, is my most favorite. I don't know what she has, but she can't remember things that well. She may have alzheimers. She's always so chipper, though, and gives tons of hugs. She saw Emily and I today and came right up to us with a huge hug and then started talking a mile a minute: "It's so good to see you girls! Did you know that I can't remember diddly?! Did I tell you about the time I ran away?! I ran away again, and now they don't let me near the front door!!" She said all of this with the greatest attitude and was so pleased about all of it. We were talking to her daughter and then Alicia started walking towards me and I could tell she was on a mission. "I gotta tell you something. Did you know that you have the most beautiful eyes? Them are some good lookin' peepers!!" Hahaha!! I told her that she had just made my day.

After visiting our friends we went to Emi's aunt and uncle's house. We got there early so we were banished to the backyard to tan and finish our homework. Darn, huh? Yep, I got a tan today while reading my women's studies homework! We had dinner around 3 then did an Easter basket hunt. I didn't realize that the hunt would consist of multiple baskets for each person. Yep, I came away with three baskets' worth of candy. Aye! I'm gonna share with lots of people, that's for sure. Emily's aunt gave us some fun socks and shower gel and body butter, though. I was needing some of that stuff, so perfect timing. We took a walk with the dogs after the Easter basket hunt and watched the sunset behind the mountains. Then we came home and I put in four loads of laundry. I need to finish some homework and get to bed. All the fresh air and sunshine has made me really sleepy.

He is risen! He is risen indeed!
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
He is risen! Alleluia, He is risen!
