Easter fun, a few weeks late

I'm back-dating this blog post, because I couldn't bear the thought that I'd actually gone more than a month without posting on my blog. Shameful.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays of the year: I love spring time, I like pastel colors, I like dyeing eggs and I LOVE Peeps. But this year, I was sick to the point of not being able to get out of bed and had to cancel my plans for an Easter dinner with my grad school friends. But Mike--who must have the world's best immune system--could sense my disappointment about scrapping all my Easter plans, and he said he was willing to risk getting sick in order for us to celebrate. And so we did, in a smaller fashion. A little dinner, a little egg dyeing, and some Peep jousting. All in all, a pretty good Easter, despite the illness.
