This week Jake, Zoe and I had lots of adventures! The weather was pretty nice for most of the week, so we went outside a lot. On Monday we took Zoe to the park and pushed her on the swings and down a few slides, which she was NOT thrilled about. Poor pup!
On Tuesday, Jake and I went to the temple after he got off of work. It was my first time taking my own family names to do their work, and it was such an amazing experience. I've found a whole chunk of my family tree that hasn't had any of their work done, so Jake baptized me for 8 women who passed away back in the 1700s and 1800s. They've been waiting a long time for their work to be done! We'll be going back soon and going through the temple for each of them, and eventually sealing them to their parents and their spouses. It's gonna be AWESOME!
On Wednesday my textbooks for my last semester of college arrived. It's a pretty surreal feeling, being this close to finishing school. I've taken longer than most people to get my degree; by the time I graduate in July I'll have done six years of college, so it's about time I finish haha. But it's going to be VERY weird to not be going back to campus in the fall and taking classes...instead, this fall I'll be the one GIVING the classes! Even weirder! Anyways, back to my textbooks. I'm pretty excited about them, since they're not really textbooks. They're books that a teacher would read if they wanted to improve their teaching strategies and whatnot. I may or may not have already started reading them...heehee.
On Thursday Jake and I dyed Easter eggs! Zoe wasn't too impressed by it, and was getting very annoyed that we were so busy in the kitchen and weren't giving her any attention. The smell of vinegar was also making her spazz out a bit haha.
Friday I got a haircut! It's a pretty significant change; I got about four inches off. Since my hair is so thick, it feels like I've lost about 20 pounds!
Today is Easter Sunday, and I am so grateful for the reminder that Christ died for us so that we can live again. In the past year I've lost three grandparents, and knowing that it's not really goodbye is so comforting. I know I'll see them again, because of what Christ did for us.
He is risen!
