Classes are over, and finals begin Friday. We're NEARLY there!I don't think I have ever been so excited for school to be over with. I really enjoyed a couple of my classes but also had to deal with one super frustrating and annoying teacher that I'm going to be thrilled about never having to see her again. We just have to make it through to next Wednesday and our summer plans can start!!!!!!
I've got lots of catching up to do on here - clear back from December!
Matt and I have a good long list of goals and plans for things we want to do this summer. (I'll post it one of these days). This will be our first summer together married...obviously. We're both going to be working at good ol' Emergency Essentials and will be able to come home from work and just enjoy our evenings together and not have to worry about school! Oh boy I can't wait!

Easter Thought
This thought was shared in Relief Society and I really liked it so I thought I would share it here. I don't remember it word for word but it's about the folded facial napkin in Christ's tomb at the time of his resurrection.
The neatly folded napkin is recognized by Mary Magdalene and then by John and then again by Simon Peter so actually walks into the tomb. All the other bedding sheets were tossed aside but the facial napkin was nicely folded where he had laid. What is the napkins significance?
In order to understand the significance you must know the relationship between the master and the servant with Hebrews at that time. The servant would set the table for dinner exactly as the Master wanted it to be. Then, after the Master came for dinner, the servant would wait patiently to the side out of the way and wait for the Master to finish. When the master finished, he would crumble his napkin and throw it on the table. The servant would immediately clear the table at the sight of the Master's crumbled napkin. However, if the Master stood up but folded his napkin it meant I'm coming back. This was the message Christ gave to the apostles when they came into the tomb and saw the neatly folded napkin. I'm coming back.
It's also the message to all of us that He's coming back. A promise of the second coming.
Happy Easter.
