Happy Easter

Today is Easter.
Well, I was planning on waking up early this morning so I would have time to open my Easter basket. Yes, I am fifteen, the only child at my house, and I still get a basket. Anyway, when my alarm went off, I turned it off as I usually tend to do. And I wasn't awoken again until my dad was yelling at me to wake up or we would be late for church. So since he was speaking today, I figured I should show some decency and I quickly got ready. But before rushing out the door I managed to sneak a peek at my basket. Yesss. Enchanted and eyeliner(the good kind from Sephora, of course). It's all that I really wanted or needed. Truthfully, I don't really need anything at the moment, but I'm almost out of eyeliner.

I actually asked for a twenty dollar gift card to Sephora. A couple weeks ago while I was at the mall I was in there, not surprisingly considering I love makeup, and while my mom checked out I sprayed this amazing scent. It smelled SO good. I don't even know how to describe it. Warm sugar will suffice. But as most people know, perfume is expensive, and I wasn't shopping for it on that particular day. But, I smelled warm and sugary for the rest of the day and numerous people commented on it. So, I was going to add the twenty dollar gift card to the fifteen dollar one I recieved for Valentine's Day and buy the wonderful smelling stuff and my eyeliner. So...we'll see. But I do intend to buy the perfume(although that doesn't seem the right word, and neither does body spray...hmm) and SOON.

So when we think of Easter, we obviously think of eggs and candy and bunnies. But I need to keep reminding myself that that is not what Easter is about. Today celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and I need to remember that. All that He sacrificed for me so that I can return to live with Him again one day. I am grateful for His atonement. I wonder where the Easter bunny came from. Nevertheless, he's a pretty sweet rabbit.

We had a family over for lunch/dinner (I never really know which it is on holidays). The conversation somehow got on kids and the crazy things they do I guess. And my parents were able to tell horror stories about toddler Tony, the Tasmanian devil, but not really any about me. I know I am the angel child :)

I watched Enchanted tonight. I wanted to watch it in my basement on the flat screen, but my dad wanted me to watch a movie with him. I felt bad since I didn't yesterday even though he asked. So I grudgingly went upstairs and layed on the bed and watched it with my family. And I probably shouldn't mention the fact that he probably didn't watch half of it. But that's okay, really, I'm actually serious. I was fine with it. I just need to be patient, that's all. Give a little now and then, or more often than that. Today was better than yesterday, and who knows what tomorrow will bring.

Happy Easter!
