Easter

Here are the Easter pics of my sister's family and then me. We had a good day today. Yesterday some neighborhood kids got to have an Easter egg hunt. We had breakfast. They really enjoyed it. That is why AZ is nice right now... 9:00 AM and a lovely day to be outside! We went to the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant. It was really good. I went from the Titanic disaster to the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster. I read Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. It was REALLY good. When I was in college I remembered hearing about this (even though I was a SR. when this happened). I talked with an old roommate and she said we actually had a fireside with a survivor of this....wish I could remember, but I was going through a hard break-up at the time and just remember Everest seeming so scary to me. Anyhow, something triggered this memory of wanting to know more about what happened so I read the book. Again, so GOOD! I don't know what makes people want to climb mountains, but it fascinates me. I have a friend that is going to climb Denali in 5 weeks. I want him to take a video cam to watch it all!!! He is a photographer so I am sure I will see awesome pictures. Then I had to read Left for Dead by Beck Weathers to hear another version of this disaster. This guy was thought to be dead not once, but twice!!! And he survived. Amazing! What is my next disaster to read about? Or maybe another mountain climbing book. I heard from my Bishop this week. The head Mission Department has one more group to look at my "file" and THEN my mission request will be sent to the First Presidency...so I am still waiting. Getting tired of waiting, but the things in this life that are really worth anything are worth the wait!
