Easter time!

Easter time is usually a pretty, happy, as well as a religious time of the year for my family and I. This year, however, is a little different. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my Aunt's death, so this time of year isn't as joyous as usual. I love remembering the great times I've had with her, but it still is sad knowing she isn't here with us.

Easter not only reminds me of the religious side to it, but it reminds me also of Spring and happy children... as funny as that may sound. And indeed, thats what it seems like every Easter we go to Louisiana. All the little cousins go on a Easter egg hunt, we eat crawfish on the porch outside in the nice weather, and everyone enjoys everybody's company. I remember when I was a little kid and loved taking pictures with the Easter bunny at the mall and then waking up Easter morning to see what he had left me in my basket. My mom still fixes me and my sister little Easter baskets with candy and stuff, but it's not the same. I love being in college and older now, but it would be nice to go back in time and be a child again sometimes.
