Easter and Goodbyes

After all of the traveling, we were excited to spend Easter at home. It was anything, but relaxing, though. Saturday we threw a going away party for our good friend, Ryan. He is moving to D.C. :( We thought it was fitting to throw an "Oh My Heck!" Utah-themed party, complete with jello salad, funeral potatoes, and casserole. I was a bit disturbed, though, when people did not immediately realize that I was dressing to fit the theme with my long-sleeved t-shirt under a tank top, long shorts, and hair teased back in the "Wasatch Front". I eventually gave up and changed clothes.

The photo booth was a big hit.




Isn't this cake amazing? Ryan's sister made it.


It was a bittersweet night. We had a lot of fun sending Ryan off, but we are sure sad to see him go. He went to law school with us, and has played an important part in so many of our law school memories--parties, Strawberry Resevoir, Bar Reviews--and post-law school memories. I can always count on Ryan for being up for making cookies or going out. He has always gone with me to Sundance and is one of my PTC buddies.

We will miss you!

The next morning, we skipped church, and headed straight for the slopes. It was the best snow we had all season AND we had the mountain (at Snowbird) almost all to ourselves. Kelly and Seth joined us. There was a foot of new snow! It was perfect. The whole day, I couldn't help but think that you could not write a more perfect day than this.

I surprised Rod with an Easter basket.
