Happy Easter

Just walked back into my room in what feels like the first time in four days.  I left Thursday evening to meet Kristy for a night out with a bunch of new French friends, spent the night with her left to go work on a paper with Laura to run from there to the grocery store for dinner with Kathleen. From dinner Kathleen and I met some friends to go dancing at our favorite club and spent the night with her. I came home yesterday (Saturday) for a bit to get a little nap and skype with my Oakland girls in and then met up with Kathleen and Amy for a night of leftovers and movies. We watched Roman Holiday and someone like you   (the one with Ashley Judd and Hugh Jackman) This morning Kathleen and I got all of our food together to trek to Emily's for an easter brunch and egg dye. Which turned into quite the funny situation because it is next to impossible to find white eggs in France so really the blue and green dye were the only ones to truly work. It was fun to share an American tradition with the French and British people who were in attendance.

Here are our beautiful eggs, I stole this picture from Stephanie, Big thanks to her for being so quick to upload on facebook!

When I think of Easter I think of how the Easter bunny would normally make an easter egg hunt for us inside and that I would feel sick by the end of the day for all of the chocolate. I also seem to think about deviled eggs and my Dad's side of the family. Strangely, I don't think much of church thankfully my parents have become more reasonable about church attendance on Easter, I think they have grown tired of the intense crowds of people they have never seen, this newer change in sentiment is fine by me, more time to gnaw the ears off of my rabbit and get ill.

So this year when Easter rolled around and I wasn't going to get to spend it with my family I had a second of "Oh my gosh, what am I going to do? no easter egg hunt?" and even though I don't like peeps an easter without them seems wrong! Then I realized that I had the unique opportunity to have an easter with my new France family, all of whom I absolutely adore! It was a fantastic brunch the food was fantastic the mimosa's were never-ending and the conversation flowed.  There were no deviled eggs, but the consolation of realizing how happy I am and how great all of the around me are was enough!

I hope you all had a great easter as well and that you don't have a stomachache because of too much chocolate!
