Goodness, the holidays are amongst us. Good thing I don't ever crave Easter party foods (except for the Reese's Egg of course). I am not a fan of chocolate, unless it has peanut butter in it, so these holiday treats do nothing for me. I do, though, love me some funeral potatoes. Nom nom nom!
This morning I went to the gym and had a good workout with John. I am pretty sure my arms are going to fall off. Lots of arms and lunges today!
After, I went to a RS activity with Cindy Bohn. It was actually pretty great. The Food Nanny was there as well as the lady who won the cupcake wars. The Food Nanny said to have two meatless dishes every week and to not eat red meat back-to-back. I never knew that. I may have to try that.
Since Emily is moving out and back in with her parents, I told her I would help her go through some old boxes up at her parents house. It didn't take as long as I thought. Also, Emily did really good getting rid of things. There were only a couple times where she would look at me and I would say, "You know exactly which box that needs to go in..." meaning the DI box. She would just laugh. She got rid of a couple of boxes and organized a lot more.
After that, she and I went to my family Easter Party. This is where the food treats became a little difficult. My mom always makes the best treats. She made a coconut cake (that I didn't eat), that looked like an Easter egg field. It was super cute. Funny thing, we do informal dinners. We put food on the counter, and if you want it, you come get it. You can eat inside or outside, on the ground or at tables. We don't care. Just eat. Charlie was at the counter with Heather and myself. He was scarfing down corn and funeral potatoes. Heather got up to go and get her some food. Michelle, Charlie's mom, came around to steal Heather's seat and Charlie would have no such thing. Michelle asked Charlie if she could sit my him and he looked up at Heather, who was on the other side of the counter, scooted to the end of his stool, and put his legs up on Heather's chair. He would look at Heather and say "sit". Michelle continued to ask him if she could sit down, and he was just not allowing it. So the same thing happened when I went to go get me some food. He saved my chair with his little legs too. Michelle was a little upset. The rest of us died laughing. I wonder where a 2 year old would learn to save someones chair with his legs. He is probably the most adorable kid ever. I just love his face so much!
After that Easter party, Emily and I went on a hike with our friend Cindy. She knows where all the hikes are. She took us on a new hike called Bonneville. It was really pretty. I was reminded about how much our Heavenly Father loves us. Even though there were dead plants all around us (due to winter of course), it was still so beautiful and peaceful. God loves us and nature is proof of that. I often think of the Garden of Eden and when He threw Adam and Eve out of the garden. God said He cursed the land. If this land that we are living in is the cursed land and it is still this beautiful, I cant even imagine what the Garden of Eden would even look like. It is just an ongoing way that Heavenly Father shows us His love for us.
It was a good day. I had a lot of fun with family and friends. It was a great way to spend Pre-Easter.
