friday i got to my dad's about 5pm and went for a little run. it was beautiful weather and i got in 2 miles before i had to get ready for dinner. my dad, step mom and i went to one of our favorite spots, villa antiono. this was the first time i've had pasta in 2012 and man, i forgot what i was missing. it was so fun to go with just the 3 of us. it's not something i get to do often since i am 1 of 3 daughters. i loved it!
when we got home, i decided to tackle the giant task of cleaning out my room. i haven't lived at home since the summer after freshman year (5 years ago), and crap has been accumulating since then. it was a daunting task, and i had to retire after the bathroom, dresser and nightstand were complete. i woke up on saturday and finished with my closet and under my bed. at the end of it all, i had 4 giant bags of trash, 2 bags for goodwill. it felt like i had a new room!
after that was done, i ran errands with mary ann and she even got me a new easter dress! later, i ran from dad's to mom's house - it was beautiful outside. leigh, derrick and i helped my mom and brian get some things done. their house goes on the market in 2 weeks, so we're helping finish a lot of the last details. after i indulged in some chicken lettuce wraps from jojo's - i went back to my dad's to shower for katt's easter party. court was there when i arrived, so i asked her to come with. we got WAY too dressed up for a house party, put on lipstick, grabbed two bottles of wine and went on our way.

we died easter eggs and drank wine and courtney made friends with cooper! we headed to the bar for a little bit with some of the boys. interesting, but fun night. after sweet brett saved our lives and found our keys, we headed back to our parent's house since we had to get up for church early.

sunday we woke up and put on dresses and headed to church. i got to see one of my oldest and most favorite friends, and sit next to another old friend during the service. getting to celebrate jesus and see your old friends make for a great morning. we headed home to get things started for easter. every holiday around our house is BIG. my parents open their home to our friends and their families who may not have people to share the day with. it's always a running joke to see how many people we can get to come, but this year it was (only) 23. the food was delicious and i ate about 5,000 homemade peanut butter eggs. my step mom is the bomb. what a great day to celebrate the most precious gift we have ever received. i am continually amazed and blessed that this is what i get to call life.
