{easter + 6 months}

happy easter! elder holland puts it best in my all-time favorite talk: {read the whole talk here: http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2009/04/none-were-with-him?lang=eng}

"As we approach this holy week—Passover Thursday with its Paschal Lamb, atoning Friday with its cross, Resurrection Sunday with its empty tomb—may we declare ourselves to be more fully disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, not in word only and not only in the flush of comfortable times but in deed and in courage and in faith, including when the path is lonely and when our cross is difficult to bear. This Easter week and always, may we stand by Jesus Christ “at all times and in all things, and in all places that [we] may be in, even until death,”  for surely that is how He stood by us when it was unto death and when He had to stand entirely and utterly alone." -Elder Holland

today is also our 6 month anniversary! today was a beautiful sunny day and we had a great time at church and then went and drove around utah lake. then we dyed eggs...with kool-aid! it was brilliant; thank you pinterest. no vinegar smell and it worked great! we are loving life and are grateful for every minute together.
