a day of celebration!
HAPPY EASTER! HE IS RISEN! CHRIST JESUS LIVES TODAY!
first big news: my friend karen got baptized today! yay!!!! she even got baptized in a methodist church so that's extra glorious ;)
i went to somerville today for church. i was supposed to be introduced to the congregation as their intern for next year but they decided there was too much going on. it was a pretty good service (even though we didn't sing the two songs that i've always sung on easter!). the focus obviously was on the risen Christ but the sermon was really about mary magdalene. i feel like some of the stuff was theologically stretched but i'm sure it was meaningful to the people. i really enjoyed the fact that the pastor would preach some and then a soloist would sing a song. the music was beautiful. very moving!
tonight we went to macaroni grill to celebrate ann and terrence's birthdays. both their birthdays are tomorrow but it made more sense to celebrate tonight. a good time was had by all (all = ann elizabeth, terrence holman, jennifer diane, emily rose, matthew robert, geoffrey alan, and kyle dawn). some highlights: jenny thought that some sauce in a dish was vinegar for her bread and then realized after she had poured some on her plate that it might have been emily's salad dressing (it wasn't the salad dressing but it was funny!), coloring on the table, 'happy birthday' sung in italian, and many more. oh, and another funny was when ann and i were trying to get back into alex and ann was trying to open the door while balancing everything she was holding and she said "i'm losing everything . . . i'm losing my mind". and oh boy, the way she said it cracked me up!!
we just got done making cookies for ann to take to the daycare, greek precept, and send to her friends. 64 cookies. i had a good time hanging out with ann and emily learning some hebrew words, watching a bit of a movie, interspersed semi-serious conversations, just having some good clean fun! and one of the funniest parts was when ann was pulling a tray of cookies out of the oven and the tray tipped and all the cookies slid down to make a glob of gooey cookie mess. it was funny! thankfully there was still exactly enough cookies without that pan!
oh good times, good times.
now, i must do homework. i'm really going to be good this week. the guilt has been too much for me to handle (as it should be).
