Easter

For Easter, my family and I typically just go to church together and then spend the rest of the day at my Grandma’s house. I’ve never really found it too be all that exciting of a holiday until now. Last year I saw all of my cousins, aunts, and uncles all the time but now since I am away at school, I barely ever see them. I haven’t most of them since Christmas so I’m really excited to be able to see them all. I am also really excited to have my Grandma make a home cooked meal. My grandma is one of the best cooks that I know and I haven’t her make me a meal in a really long time and since I’m getting pretty tired of the food here in the dining centers at ISU, I think that I will appreciate her cooking even more. Another reason that I am excited about going home for Easter is that I will get to see a lot of my friends. Since I went to Catholic schools, the grade school that I went to is ran by my church. Therefore all of my grade school friends go to my church so it is great to be able to see them whenever I go home and go to church with my family. The last reason that I am excited to go home next weekend for Easter is because my mom will most likely take me out to go shopping in order to buy a new outfit to wear on Easter. Since I always want to go shopping, knowing that I’m going to get a new outfit is a nice bonus for going home for the weekend. The only downside to Easter weekend is that we do not get any extra days off of school here at ISU. That means I will have to leave straight from dinner at my Grandma’s house to come back to school. Therefore I won’t be back until really late which is inconvenient but at least I still can enjoy spending the weekend with my family and friends.
