Happy Easter!

Due to the fact that Easter fell a measly one week after Cal Poly's spring break, yesterday's holiday was the first Easter spent away from mi familia (please notice the smattering of Spanish). It was a little sad knowing that my family was getting together without me. Luckily, there were still nine of us in the house so we decided to have a little Easter celebration of our own. We started with an epic egg hunt put on by April and Anna. I think that my favorite hiding place had to be the one in the fish tank. Poor Wesley (the fish) must have been a little overwhelmed. After the hunt we had dinner together. Caitlin, Anna, April, and I made a ham, potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs, and the ever-popular Pillsbury biscuits. Even though we weren't at home, it felt like we were with family, which was really special. It's been such a gift to live with these people and develop relationships with all of them. Now, even though Easter is officially over, we are still celebrating it by eating our way through a pile of chocolate, cake, and jelly beans left over from the celebration. This would be a good time for my will power to kick in.
