Ok, so I think I have decided on the types of things I am going to write about on here......basically....anything I can think of. I kind of want to make this into a journal of my education, marriage, and other adventures. I normally have been doing a weekly e-mail to two of my friends in Michigan....though I haven't been getting the weekly e-mails as often as I like from them I have decided that these blog entries will suffice and Daniel agrees.
Today was my first Easter as a married lady. I loved it! Throughout the week we attempted to find lamb at stores to eat today....lets just say we failed epically and move on. We will look harder for next Easter. Instead we settled for steaks, mashed potatoes, carrots, and a salad. It was delicious!!! And not only that but our General Conference tradition is to buy an ice cream cake. We missed it this past conference because of low funds, but recently decided to watch a talk from conference each Sunday, which therefore merited a conference ice cream cake. So we caught up on our new tradition eventually. The conference talk we watched today was President Monson's talk about marriage. I thought it was lovely but I understand why it would make a handful of young men squirm uncomfortably in their seats.
We have a guest for a few days. And she left us an easter egg basket this morning on our couch!!!! It was so thoughtful and made our first Easter as husband and wife so much more special. So I will say a shout out to Bekka! :)
For next Easter I think it would be cool to dye eggs, and maybe I will hide eggs for Daniel to find. :P
Sometimes he acts like a kid so why not treat him like one!
Today we also played rummikub. (thanks to Jaren and Heather for letting us borrow the game.) Daniel won. The game was close so I didn't mind too much haha. In fact if I had remembered to move the wild chip I could have won.
I am curious, what does everyone else do for Easter?
Next time try a Lebenese/ middle eastern butcher. Toledo has one so a bigger city might too.
ReplyDeleteI love how you need a reason to eat ice cream cake, haha.
ReplyDeleteEaster? Let's see... we had a rare warm and sunny day (55 degrees!). We colored eggs like little kids and made dinner (gnocci with Italian sausage, sun dried tomatoes, herbs and spices). Then we did an egg hunt because Josh had never done one before. This is probably not a typical Easter for me.
Lamb is delicious.
I should try a butcher. We will probably look into it for next Easter. I was so surprised I couldn't find good lamb anywhere!
ReplyDeleteWow Paige...that is like a typical Easter...that is so unlike you. I am a bit disappointed, but hey, what are you going to do about it. :)
