Easter, Farewell, and Birthday

April's always been a busy month but this one seems even more so. One of my brothers, Andrew, left for his mission to Charleston, West Virginia this month and he is so excited and so ready to go. He is such an amazing young man and I know he'll be an amazing missionary who will touch many lives.

We had the opportunity to so to Utah conference weekend with some friends and it was so fun! Livy was thrown off her sleeping schedule a little bit as usual whenever we go anywhere but we still had a great time. That Sunday I surprised Peter and Livy with Easter baskets. Livy loved putting the basket on her head and playing peek-a-boo more than the little toys I got her, but she was so stinkin cute with it. I gave Peter all of his favorite candy, and he loved it! He didn't grow up with Easter baskets so I think it makes him feel like a little kid again to get something like that. It's hard to surprise him so when I do I'm more excited than him when he finally discovers whatever it is I've hidden for him.

My birthday was on Tuesday, the 13th, and Peter just let me be a lazy bump on a log for the day. =) I did have a migraine most of the day but Peter told me we can celebrate my birthday this weekend with dinner and a night on the town, so I'm pretty excited for that. He also got me a bicycle for us to go on rides together, Pres. Uchtdorf's new book The Remarkable Soul Of A Woman, and a journal that we're going to turn into our family's "Blessing Journal". Our goal is to write in it hopefully, each night and write down the little blessings we experience throughout the day. We got the idea in one of the Ensign and we both loved the idea because sometimes it's so hard to remember all of those little miracles and blessing we get to experience everyday.
