on easter's eve.

part I) maddie's house: 

our  festivities began at maddie's. 

where we gathered for a barbeque. and many many delicious strawberries. 

there was an easter egg hunt that was to take place. 

so we hid the eggs. and spontaneously threw the candy throughout the yard while prancing, twirling, singing, and leaping about. probably we thought we were in a movie or something. and sadly, my phone isn't capable of taking night time pictures.. then we ventured off to the dance. 

part II) the dance: 

ha. probably there are few places more awkward, (while still being wholesome) than a stake dance. 

majority of the crowd is fourteen or fifteen. which in itself is an awkward age. 

there are the attempts to dance. and flirt. there are the slow dances. the bystanders. 

obviously it's an awkward place. but hey, we still love it.

the first half was honestly extremely boring. thankgoodness it didn't stay that way for long. 

eventually everyone started to dance. no one cared for the awkwardness anymore. and it was so much fun.

oh and that last slow dance of the night. maybe he asked me to dance. (mentioned here, here (#4), and here) 

and maybe, i like him. a lot? but whate'er... (:

because he loves me.

(the picture that i keep on my mirror)

he is my Savior. and my best friend.

 when no one else understands, he knows exactly how i feel. he makes everything better, and he's always there for me, no matter what, or when or where, i know he'll hear me pray and he's listening. 

at times when i start to go astray, he doesn't give up on me. he lets me learn from my mistakes. and helps me to find the right path again. he knows exactly what i need in my life, even if i may not think it's right.  

his love for me unconditional. and he'll never leave me. 

he's felt all my individual pains. physically, and emotionally. 

he died for me. because he loves me. 

and i know, that he died for you too. he loves you just as much, and he'll always be there for you.

easter of course is great with the cute new dresses, tons of chocolate, and all the festivities. 

but make sure to remember him. that he died and atoned for you. so that you can be perfect. and live eternally with the people you love most. 

finally spring.

the trees are blossoming. 

the grass is greener. 

the sun's been out. 

obviously it's almost summer. (: 

(close enough)

which means it's time to wear spring skirts and bright colors again. (:

even if this isn't a coffee shop. (:

"i think that possibly maybe i'm falling for you..."
