Easter!

Yeah okay, so sorry about not writing for awhile. It's amazing how fast the week goes. So Galveston was fun. Well, actually it was kinda depressing. It got us excited to go to school, but seriously, the apartments we saw, and we even went to some NICE ones, they were all a little ghetto. That's because everything in Galveston is old. Oh well. We found a good deal on one that is next to campus. Not only that, but it's also close to a park AND the beach. So I'm a little happy about that.

Easter was crazy! Luckily my friend and I decided to do an easter egg hunt on the Wednesday instead of Saturday before Easter, because that Saturday it snowed!!! That's right SNOWED--in Texas no less! A big Artic storm came in with a huge cold front, and made the weekend miserable. Okay, I shouldn't say that, at first it was fun. . . . until the power went out! We had to run some errands on Saturday evening, and while we were driving around in the snow, the power went out in the city. It was crazy! The street lights went out, the traffic lights went out, you name it. We were sliding all over the place--which I'll admit, we're a little embarrassed about, seeing as how we survived an Alaskan winter.

We came home about 8 at night, and found out our power was out too. As I said, it was fun at first, using candles and all, but then it got COLD. When we woke up the next morning, HAPPY EASTER, we still had no power. We went over to Whitney's (my brother) and had pancakes and eggs on his coleman gas stove. Oh but don't worry, aparently our little neighborhood was one of the only ones that didn't have power still. We were looking forward to going to church to get warm, but aparently they were out of power too. They had the generators on enough to give light in the chapel and bathrooms and that's all. No heat, no lights. Fun. I don't think I'd ever been so cold!

Luckily we had a friend who invited us over after church to have dinner and get warm. We could've stayed the night, but thank goodness the power went back on at about 6 that evening. So that was our Easter. The Easter bunny visited us twice though, and that was fun. He left us something at Whitney's and our house. It's been fun having family so close. I don't know what we'll do next year.

We had a good Easter, it was unique, to say the least. Carter was fun to watch getting the Easter eggs. He was excited to find them, but it still took him sometime to connect that he should put them in the basket. He loved the snow too! It made up for him not being able to play in any at Christmas time. He had fun trying to catch the snowflakes, which were HUGE, and I mean HUGE! So that was our weekend. I hope everyone else had a good weekend and week!
