happy easter

happy easter everyone. easter in my family was never as big of a celebration as christmas, but it was always a fun time for the parks fam. we'd anxiously await our easter baskets and try to locate all the hidden eggs. i find myself missing that a little today. i'm appreciative of tim and lidia though for letting me invade their dinner plans. :) today i didn't get an easter basket or marshmellow peeps (though i might go to the store to get some..love those things!), but i did get to hear mike rant about mass and i get to have yummy dinner. woo!

i got home yesterday from a conference in new orleans. it was a great time and i'm really glad that i went, even though i didn't originally want to go. ate so much good food, had some good drinks (probably too many as tim can attest to from my failed attempt to drunk dial him), and the conference itself was also really great. my presentations went really well and going to the sessions gave me lots of ideas for research. ideas that i should write down so i don't forget them. met some new people, made some new friends, hung out with old friends..it was great.

now it's back to the grind.

happy easter everyone. i hope it's a blessed day.
