Easter is a pretty busy season for us. Paul sang at a total of 4 services and had 2 rehearsals so he was busy all week long. He also had horrible allergies that week which I in turn had this week. At least we think they were allergies...ah well! His kids at school also put on a live Stations of the Cross (14 Stations where you meditate on the sufferings of Christ) which his kids were amazing in from what I heard.
My mom and Randal also came to town! It was great being able to see them and enjoy roaming around town. We went up to the top of the mountain last Saturday and despite dealing with 37 degree weather and winds had a wonderful time. Most of our time was spent indoors eating lunch and admiring the views.
That night was Easter Vigil Mass with Mom, Randal, Jeff, and July. Always love that Mass. Just the idea of being complete darkness in the beginning to coming into complete light after the readings really brings home the Easter message of Christ's salvation given to all of us. The service lasted until 11:30 so after a midnight meal at IHOP it was bedtime!!
The next day was mainly just relaxing. We took them out for some good New Mexican Food at El Pinto, played Ticket to Ride (an awesome board game kind of like Risk), and lazed around the house. They left Monday morning which was sad but the visit was great.
PS here's a blast from Easter past (I would show one of Paul's Easter past...but I can't find a single picture of him as a kid! Someday there will be an epic Paul as a kid post! lol):
On tap for today: Dawn, Jessica, and Paul's birthday barbecue. I have some surprises up my sleeves, which y'all will know about shortly. Yes it will be legendary as Barney would put it! :-D
