Happy Easter!

I love Easter. There are so many wonderful memories from years past that make Easter one of my favorite holidays. Add in the fact that it was the day they found the grave empty, and wow, that makes it a pretty amazing day all in its' self!

My greatest Easter memory is, and probably always will be, spending it with Jackson at home. It was the only holiday that we had him at home for and it was so special. I got to make him not one, but two!, Easter baskets which was so much fun! I think we had entirely too much fun shopping for his baskets and we definitely spent too much money, but hey, it was for a perfect little boy so it doesn't matter! Anyway, I will never forget being at my parent's house (aka Home) for Easter and sitting around the table with all of my family and having Jackson right next to me in the pack and play sleeping. I even remember getting some chocolate on my finger and giving him a little taste. It is one of the greatest memories I have and I will never forget Easter 2007 with my beautiful son, wonderful husband and supporting family!

Today was another great Easter too, but I don't think any other one will every measure up! We had 20 people gathered around the table to celebrate and had a great time hanging out and spending time together. Today for the first time I felt like my old self. I often tell Joseph that sometimes I know I act completely different, because ummm, lets face it, I am completely different after everything with Jackson. But today...I felt like the old Nichole was creeping out, having fun with my family and just really enjoying the time we had together. It was a great Easter, and just like in years past my parents did an awesome job! Thanks Mom and Dad!

I don't remember if I mentioned that I finished reading "Twilight" and it was really good. We watched the movie yesterday afternoon, and it wasn't as good, but it was good. I went ahead and bought the next book "New Moon" and I started reading it today. I'm sure I'll finish it rather quickly since I'm Spring Break-yay! And I'm sure I'll let you know how it is too!

And now I'm off to fill out a US District Court Juror Questionnaire...of course! I have the greatest freaking luck remember! I hope that everyone had a great Easter and that you enjoyed the time with family and friends. Thanks for always checking in on us and sharing in our journey. As always, please REMEMBER JACKSON!
