HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!

Yes, today is Easter! ^_^ Oh, happy day! Woke up early with only about 8 minutes to get ready before leaving the house. :P Hadn't set my alarm so Naomi came in to wake me up. Naomi and her hula group practiced in the morning while I 'mingled' and got to fellowship with many people. Played drums for the 8:30 service and besides a special hula dance, there was also special music: Afa and Susan sang a beautiful duet while Davin was on the keyboard. Pastor Ron, back from his trip to the mainland, preached a sermon titled "Live Again."

There was a special brunch set up outside between the morning services and since I hadn't had time to eat breakfast, I was able to satisfy my growling stomach. I had been sooo hungry throughout the service, making it hard for me to concentrat. :P Stayed a bit of the 10:30 service until Naomi finished her hula dance (Joe played drums for second service). Right after she was done, Ericson drove the two of us home and when Tiffany arrived, we began our church Easter service.

Like you might have guessed, we had two guests today, Ericson and Tiffany! It was certainly exciting to have guests for our service. After the worship and greeting, we had special music. The four of us (Erin on the keyboard, Maki on the guitar, and Naomi and I singing), did "Open the Eyes" which came out really nice. Then Maki and I did a sign dance which I had just choreographed on Friday. We danced to "He's My Savior" by Jaci Velasquez and it turned out sooooo well (very pleased with it if I may say so... ^_^). Naomi then preached about how we have to love and serve Christ with all our hearts, remembering the price he paid for us.

After the service, Erin and Maki went to pick up California Pizza Kitchen for lunch. Everything was so good, especially the Jambalya spaghetti which I LOVE! Listened to good music while eating and then a little later we played an Easter trivia game which I had compiled last night. Erin won, answering 9 out of 11 correct. ^_^

Watched An Ideal Husband to relax afterwards; great movie with such wry humor and wit. That's of course, considering it's based off of an Oscar Wilde play (who also wrote The Importance of Being Earnest and Lady Windemere's Fan. Great fun; Cate Blanchett especially shines in her role.

Ericson and Tiffany left then since I was pretty exhausted by then, I was able to take a 2 hour nap. ^_^ I think I could have slept more but thought it best to get up by 6:00... :P Did some homework then after a dinner of leftovers, Naomi and I watched Kelly's Heroes. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. "Stop with the negative waves!" or "I found a mine!" "(beat) What kind is it?" "The... kind that blows up! How should I know what kind it is!?" Or one of the BEST lines: "Why aren't you helping to fix the tank?" "I only ride it, I don't know how it works."

Finished up making a map for history class (going to have a quiz on it this week). Speaking of History class, I think I have a quiz tomorrow. :P And I need to get the book read before next week... but I'm halfway done which is good. So tomorrow's a busy day; going to class in the morning then in the afternoon I'm meeting with my group to prepare for a presentation we have this coming Friday. G'night!
