yesterday was easter. it was nothing too special here. i went to church. (NOT for sunrise service, which comes at 4:30). i hung out at the coffee shop. i tried to watch a movie that didn't work. i took a nap for 3 hours. i started spring cleaning my house. my bathroom is spotless now. some friends got home from weekend travels, so we had a movie night.

the highlight of the day was easily calls home. in the morning, i left for church about 45 minutes early, and wandered the streets while talking to my bestest friend in the whole wide world, katy. that alone would have made my day.

later in the day, i called my extended family at easter lunch and got to talk to parents, sister, gramma, aunts, and anyone in the background who yelled a "hello" to me.

but in between those two great calls....... i thought of sending an sms to my dad while he was at church to tell everyone happy easter from me, but then i realized that pretty much everyone would be there mingling together between sunrise service and regular service, so i decided: why not call?! i think i talked to just about everyone in the building in a matter of about 30 minutes - from the "older" folks who have watched me grow up to the younger kids who are too little to remember me. everyone kept telling me that me calling was the best easter gift and such a great surprise. that was such a blessing to me... i do miss home, and it's good to know that i am missed in return. so thanks to everyone who took time out of their easter morning to chat with me, even if just for a couple of minutes. i love you guys very, very much.
