Hope everyone is having a good Easter weekend! I was fortunate enough to be able to come home for Easter weekend. It has been fun to be able to be home with my whole family. This is the first time we have all been home since Christmas break. My sister and I had different spring breaks so we did not get to see each other over spring break.
Easter Sunday has been a quiet day for us, we went to 9:30 mass this morning and it was really nice. Church was packed this morning, the choir sounded great and it was great to see family friends who were there. To make it even better the homily was great! The church was decorated so nicely.
Last night we went to the Easter Vigil. I have to admit it was long (at like 2.75 hours) but it is always so exciting to welcome new members into the church and just welcoming in Easter.
I grew up spending a lot of time at the church volunteering with different projects etc so it is fun going to church. It was also nice to see some of my friends who were back from college for the weekend.
On Thursday night we went to church to the Holy Thursday service. At our church everyone has the opportunity to wash their families feet at the mass not just wash some people's feet like at some churches. Then on Friday afternoon we went to the Junior High stations of the cross. They did a great job! My mom was in charge of coordinating the stations of the cross.
This week looks to be a busy week. This is the last 5 week stretch of classes then finals. The weekends get really busy as honors inductions come up and other things. More details to come in the following blog entries. This week also my internship enters into full swing.
Hope you have a great week! Enjoy the Easter Sunday!
