Eggcellent Weekend

Ok, so I stole that from somebody else, but it was so cute I just had to! Had a wonderful time this weekend. It was the first weekend that I just forgot about all of my responsibilities (even though I probably shouldn't have) and relaxed. Went to Geoff's house early Friday and we had dinner and then went to a movie with his parentals. Saturday was chill and we went out to a soul food restaurant. Food was pretty good, not the best shrimp and grits I've ever had. The best part was that we walked in the door and we were the only white people in the place. In fact, we were the only not black people in the place. I really see myself as a balanced person, but I feel like I got a taste of what a lot of minorities might feel like. Watched another movie, The Kings Speech, which I had wanted to see for a long time and it was totally worth the wait!

Sunday was Easter and it was a really nice one. We went to church and the service was done really well. It felt good to get in my God time, since I haven't been giving him as many hours as I should be. I have a hard time motivating myself to go to church when I'm at school. I know that's not the way it should be, and I want to start seeing it as less of a hassle and more of a desire. I'm slowly working my way there, but I know that it will take time. We had a tasty Easter dinner with G's parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousin. We even Skyped Jenni so she could be included. This was the first holiday (except for New Years and Halloween do those really count?) that I haven't spent with my family and it was a little weird. I usually go to Aunt Deb's for Easter, but this year I wanted to see G more. I realized that by doing this holiday without my family, I'm really becoming an adult. When I get married and have kids and the whole shebang, I'm going to have to choose where to go for what holidays. I know that's far off, but it just got me thinking!

Geoff and I had a mini photo shoot and this is the only one I liked. The sun was directly in our eyes so we looked like we were in pain for most of them, but this one is the least painful.

In our Easter best, aren't we springy looking?
