April for Amy

I can't believe Easter has come and gone already. I realized it's been at least 10 years since I properly colored Easter Eggs which makes me kind of sad. I remember bartering with my brother Matthew for parts of the egg. I only liked the whites and he only like the yolk (aka "the suns"). As enforced by my mom, we could only decorate what we would eat. I think we had it figured out right.

Speaking of family...I get to see them in about a month! I'll be flying into Salt Lake on Tues May 12th and flying home on Sun May 17th. It'll be the first time our family has been together in 2 years. My brother Jonathan comes home from his LDS Mission to Arizona the week before. I'm always in denial that my brothers are growing up as much as they are and that I'm now the "little" big sister :o) I hope I can get together with some friends I haven't seen for a long time too. My last visit was a short one and I could hardly fit in any socializing.

My workouts have been going well. I'm not weighing myself yet, but I can tell I've been losing inches. I love how much more comfortably clothes are fitting :o) I need to be better about commiting to preparing my food for the next day earlier in the evening. If I wait until bedtime I'll slack off and not make as good of choices.
