Easter

On Saturday we went to my grandma's house for an Easter egg hunt, and to roast hot dogs. A very large portion of my grandma's land isn't manicured so there is a lot of tall grass. This made it perfect for an Easter egg hunt. The eggs for the little kids were in the shorter grass and the teenager's eggs were hidden in trees, the tall grass, and anywhere else that they found to hide them.



On Sunday we went to church. I love going to church and hearing more about Jesus Christ. What a blessing it is that he came to this Earth to live for us and to die for us. I am so grateful that he was resurrected, to break the bands of death. Because of him I am able to be with my family forever!



Sunday night we went to Harris' aunt and uncle's house. A lot of family were there, even some from out of state, it was so good to see them all. While we were there we had a little mini Easter program. Several people read stories about the Savior and we sang a song that went along with each story.



Monday I spent the day finishing lesson plans for my final project for a class. And today has been full of finals.

Harris got called in to meet with the cadre, this afternoon. I went with him and before the major had Harris come in he let me come in and stand behind his desk so I could watch Harris salute. (He looked so good!) While we were meeting with the major we found out that Harris has been selected to go to field training this summer. It will be for 21 days... but we still don't know when. While we were talking to the major he said that there are many people that didn't get to go (60% national selection rate) and for Harris to do his best and not waste his slot. He told Harris to do it for his brother. It really hit me when he said that. Harris' brother was in the ROTC it was his life long dream to fly for the Air Force and at the beginning of this school year he was disqualified for medial reasons. (His brother is still working to get back in.)

I'm glad that Harris was selected for field training now he prepares more and we wait to find out when he goes...which I hope is soon.
