I spent Easter with friends this year. Not the first time I have done so in recent years, considering the schedules I had: ’07 NWFASA Conference, ’08 road trip, ’10 leaving the country the next day. However, this year marks the first time I’ve made homemade treats*. Not to mention everything else we ate was also made by fellow students. I was impressed, to say the least.

The thing about Easter this year is that even though I was away from my mom, I still had the chance to celebrate a holiday with family. These are people I know will do great things.

And I’d trust them with my kids once they (as in my future spawn) get to college and start questioning the world around themselves.

*I made a bacon cheddar apple pie. Deal with that.
