Happy Easter!

We had a great weekend. We drove up to Fort Wayne Indiana. My nephew Mike was there to help open a Granite City Restaurant. We fell in love with Granite City a couple of years ago when we went to one in Wichita Kansas. There is one coming to Carmel we are so excited! Anyway, we drove up to spend the weekend with Mike. We went to DeBrand Fine Chocolates--YUM. We had an Ultimate Float with caramel and chocolate that they make...that was a great start to our weekend. We then went to see Horton Hears a Who! Very Cute. We checked out Fort Wayne Mall which has a 2 story Carousel!! The girls just had to try it. Then we had dinner at Granite City (of course)! After dinner we went to a Fort Wayne Komet Hockey game. Need I say Mitch was close to Heaven if it had only been the Red Wings that would have been Heaven!! The girls had a great time and the Komets continue their 22 winning game streak. We spent the night and had brunch at Granite City, said our goodbye's to Mike and headed for home.
We had some excitement on our way home. We were about 10 miles from our house and a car changing lanes right in front of me blew a tire. He started doing figure 8's all over the 4 lanes of traffic. I slammed on my brakes and basically watched this guy fish tail all over the highway. I tried to move over to avoid hitting him it was scary there for a few minutes he finally stopped on the left side of the highway facing the on coming traffic luckily no one was hurt including us!
We did have a furry visitor that left eggs behind and other goodies. We ended our night together as a family talking about the Savior and all that He has done for us and the true meaning of Easter. We are very thankful for all that He has given us-the atonement, repentance, and ever lasting life to name just a few of the many.
