Eternal Easter Egg Hunts

I love General Conference. Today, miraculously, both the kids were incredibly peaceful, and I was able to listen to both sessions virtually uninterrupted. I sat listening to the messages of family and hope, and I couldn't help but feel so grateful for the family that I was born into, and also for the family I married into. Little did I know that while I was humming along and thinking of my in-law family, they were all gathered together having the Easter Egg Hunt which we were supposed to be attending, but my pregnant brain told me was tomorrow. When I found out that we had missed the event, I was more devastated then I thought I would be. As much as I would have enjoyed raiding the eggs after, I was so sad to realize that we had missed the opportunity to be with our family. Trying to reconcile these feelings withing myself, I was brought back to the feelings I had from conference. I feel so lucky that we our all an eternal family. I'm so glad that through eternity we won't miss our egg hunts. What an amazing gift that we all get to be together forever!

I don't think I've posted these before. When my screensaver comes on, they often flash across, and I always think I should post them. What better day then today when I can't think about any of our family without crying huge tears. I love you all and I'm so grateful for the gospel!

I am listening to an apostle of God telling us to be very careful to take care of and for the rising generation, while scrolling through this partial-shipment of photos of our rising generations!! Wow! Let's take care, family, let's take care that not one shall be lost. No empty chairs, no empty tables...everyone there collecting their rightful eggs of gospel blessings!! Thank you Cassie...and Randi!! Love, mom/gma
