Easter Mems

Happy Easter, World (should that be capitalized? It is the only one of its kind)! 

On this day there are so many things that I am thankful for, the greatest of which is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, because of which my sins are forgiven and I will spend eternity in Paradise with my KING.  

Incidentally my entire family (that is the extended kind) spent the holiday in Hawaii - WITHOUT ME - which left sister and myself in ATX to celebrate. Therefore, I spent this weekend photographing several Easter egg hunts. I work for a children's home, and, let's just say there are LOTS of sad would-be mother chickens due to the way we celebrate this holiday. 

While each hunt was unique, they all left me thinking about one very special Easter Egg Hunt. THE GREAT DARK HUNT OF 2005 was the one I remembered. Spent with my chicks&friends in college, it will go down in the books. This post is officially dedicated to those pictured above. Girls, guys, I really do love each one of you. I'm so thankful for the gift of friends and the memories made. I love that there are memories of "us" attached to each holiday.

So...love you! Happy Easter. Thanks, Brooke, for our midnight madness Easter Egg Hunt. 

AND

I'm so thankful that I get to spend eternity in Heaven with you all due to our Father's sacrifice.

I miss all the people pictured above. Even the two boys on the ends, who I'm not so sure I know.
