Happy April 15th!!!

Happy April 15th to everyone!!! You might be asking is today a holiday or something? Well to anyone who has worked or has a spouse who works at a CPA firm, it is. The tax season is almost over!!! I can't actually complain about this year because Val hasn't been too slammed since they just started their new firm. He is still able to get home at a reasonable time but that is only because they just started in January. Last year he came home for like 2 hours between the 14th and the 15th. That is in fact one of the reasons he decided to do his own thing. Who can blame him? I wouldn't want to be at work for 2 solid days either. Anyways that is why April 15th is a good day for us at least. This can also be a friendly reminder to all of those who might have forgotten or have put it off. I do know a good accountant if anyone needs some help. :D I hope everyone has a good April 15th! I know I will. :)

Happy Easter!

Why Weepest Thou-Simon Dewey
I love holidays if you haven't noticed yet and Easter is one of my favorites. This year it was even more special to me because of Dad's death. I have never had anyone close to me die and I have realized through this trial that I have never really appreciated the Resurrection like I should. I have never doubted that the Savior broke the bands of death and that he took up His body again and that someday I will die and so someday I will be resurrected but the Resurrection is not just for someday, it is a blessing now and it is helping me get through this hard time. Now I can truly say I am thankful for and have a testimony of the Resurrection. I don't think I would have learned this lesson without experiencing Dad's death. I am so thankful for the Savior and I know He lives! Because He does I will too and so will my Dad! That is why I love Easter! So I hope everyone had a good one!
