As we enter Holy Week, I thought I would share a little bit about Easter. As a Christian, Easter has always been a very important holiday for me. I have also enjoyed the fun notions of the Easter Bunny, Easter baskets, and Peeps (duh!). I've gotten a new Easter dress every single year *tradition*. My parents always did egg hunts and to be honest, we had egg hunts up until just a couple of years ago! We also grew up either going to brunch or having a big brunch with family friends. So many great memories and traditions.
Things are going to be a little different this year. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I have done a lot of traveling this year. I feel so fortunate to have been able to go home so much after moving to California. All those trips add up though, so Matt and I will be here for Easter. Unfortunately, we haven't found a church home out here. I grew up in the Bible belt where there is literally a church on every corner. That is not the case here! Churches are limited and the ones that we visited were not a good fit. We loved loved loved our church in Texas so we have been watching sermons online. I would love to get plugged in somewhere, but for now I am so thankful for technology so we can watch and be a part of our home church. If you are in the north Dallas area or are looking for a church to watch online, I invite you to check out Hope Fellowship! So, our Easter plans this year will include watching church online and going out for brunch. Even though we won't be with our families and we won't have our past traditions, it doesn't matter. Our Redeemer lives and that is something worth celebrating!!!
Although I am not buying a new Easter dress this year (just going ahead and breaking all of the traditions!), I picked some of my favorites if you still need some ideas!
