Easter Blessings

I always love conference weekend, because family, food, and relaxation are always involved. Not only that but we get to hear messages from our prophet and church leaders and through them we hear the words of God.

This conference was especially great because of all of the extended family that came into town. I was able to play with my sweet, young cousins, see my aunts and uncles, and my grandparents. Will and I spent the weekend at my parents house, even though it's only 30 min away from our house, we figured it would be easier to be there and not spend so much on gas or lose time with them because of travel.

I have forgotten how beautiful easter is with little kids. The egg hunts, candy, and easter bunny are all so much more fun when seen through the eyes of a child. Magic, you know?

Along with the easter festivities we had a great time playing a lot of games and enjoying each other's company while watching conference. Cooking good food, eating it all, etc.

However, Saturday night I came down with one of the worst migraines that I've had. And if you know me at all, you know that my migraines are awful. I was so nauseous that I couldn't keep any food or water down for almost a full 24 hours. I couldn't sleep or relax either. My family took notice and they all took such good care of me. Will took me out to get medicine, my mom came and sat with me in bed, and all of the men there, my dad, grandpa, 2 uncles and husband were able to give me priesthood blessing. Wow. I can't even begin to explain the power and love you feel when you are surrounded by worthy priesthood holders. It's an amazing and wonderful thing. I was definitely looked after this weekend. And I am a firm believer that no matter how old you are, if you get really sick you will always want your mom.

I had a really great easter. It was full of love and fun, and I don't think you could ask for much more.
