Easter!


This  year Easter was awesome. Sundays are always my favorite day of the week in general but Easter was so great. Jacob and I sang two songs with the ward choir which were both amazing and even tear jerking because that Sunday happened to be a mission farewell for a couple that I have grown up knowing, The Smiths. It was great. Then Jacob and I got to teach our 15 year old Sunday school class the Allegory of the Olive Tree which is a favorite topic of mine (if you aren't aware of it let me know and I'll tell you all about it!) My sister Tiffany was in town for Easter and she wanted to spend Easter Sunday with us! So my dad picked her up and we hung out at my parents and socialized and had so much fun catching up! I haven't seen my sister since my wedding! I love getting to see family. After we ate dinner we went to Jacob's parents house to visit which is always lots of fun. I love having family that live so close to us and that we are all tightly knit in our relationships. This Easter was probably the best Easter! I hope everyone's Easter was wonderful!

Hey everyone! So this last weekend was General Conference which I always look forward to. Unfortunately Jacob and I both worked Saturday so we didn't get to see Conference that day (except for me, I got home in time to watch the last 45 minutes and Jacob of course got to go to the Priesthood session) While Jacob was at the Priesthood session with my dad I was hanging out with my mom and feeling a little strange. I felt a little down for no reason (hormones maybe haha) and I just didn't feel like doing anything. Jacob came back with my dad and wanted to go get some food. He noticed I wasn't feeling to happy so he got me to go with him and he bought me flowers :) such a sweet hubby, he knows how to cheer me up.
Sunday was so nice because we got to sleep in a little and then we headed to my parents house to watch Conference. We just got to relax all day long while enjoying the talks and music and eating yummy food that my daddy made. After a good day like that, I wasn't looking forward to Monday.
So Jacob and I have been trying to get in shape since we have been getting sick so often and both feeling a little sluggish. Last week we started to go running in the mornings which was hard to give up our precious sleep to wake up earlier but we did it! Our plan is to exercise more and cut back on our junk food intake. So far we've been doing great! Hopefully we can keep up!
Monday night we had Family Home Evening with the Johnsons! We had an Easter lesson which was really amazing and spiritual and then we dyed Easter eggs which I haven't done since I was a small child! It is always so much fun to be around friends and we are lucky that they live so close!
