Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to everyone! I hope that everyone had a great day spending time with friends and family and reflecting on how blessed we are to have a Savior. After going to church this morning at 8:30 with Jeff and Bekah, we spent the rest of the morning preparing for a luncheon with a lot of Brandon's classmates. Everything turned out well considering we had to switch the location at the last second (the party room key had been changed) and we were 30 minutes late since the ham was not done cooking...our oven temperature is not accurate at all! All of Brandon's classmates are so wonderful...they all brought something to the potluck and just enjoyed the little break from studying and being able to spend some time with friends. Everyone also helped out with setting everything up. I think there were about 26 people that came. There was so much yummy food and the ham actually turned out well...it was my first time cooking ham. I think we got started eating around 2:15 and everyone had left by 4 since they all have a big test tomorrow...

Brandon and I came back and watched the end of the Masters. We both wanted Tiger to win but I guess it is okay for some other people to win once in awhile! Tomorrow I will have a busy night. I have a volleyball game at 7pm and we are playing the team the third place team so it should be a pretty competitive game since we are in second place. Right after volleyball I am playing bunko with all of the girls! This will give Brandon some time to study for the boards...I feel so bad that they have to study so much.

Thanks for organizing the potluck. With all our families so far away, it was nice spending some time with friends on Easter. Also, great job with the ham! I actually thought it was pre-cooked.
