This is so fun! I have no idea how this works, but I'm excited for it! :) So... something God taught me over Easter: The best friendships are based in Him and can never be torn apart no matter how rough it gets. I'll tell you guys the full story when we get back. I had a really good talk with my friend Chelsea (from high school) and it was a time of reconnecting and praising God for what he has done in our lives! Love you girls and see you soon!
We usually have Easter lunch with my dad's side of the family, but the schematics of everyone's immediate families have been changing a little over the past few years, and I wasn't sure which of my cousins were going to be there. It ended up that only six of my eighteen cousins showed, which was a little disappointing (initially), but then my Uncle Steve walked in carrying this picture of my cousin Kelsey. She was sitting next to a woman I'd never seen before, and Steve said that it was her birth grandma and that she was spending Easter with her birth family. Of their five kids, my Uncle Steve and Aunt Annie adopted four of them as infants, and everyone of them got to meet their birth parents this year and celebrate Easter with them! I thought it was pretty awesome :)

It's not really about me, but that's okay...
