First Easter

Our first Easter together. 

By Craig Haskins

I had to work a graveyard shift and while coming home I was able to watch the sunrise.  As I was driving and watching the sunrise at the same time all I could think about was what was happening 2,000 years ago. Jesus was raised! It was a very sobering moment. 

I got home at 6:15 am. I pushed out my makeshift Craig out of the bed and was a sleep by 6: 20! when 9:50 came around my wife woke me up with a "HAPPY EASTER!" and had me go on an "egg hunt" around our apartment.  As you see from the video I was not all there and I had a hard time reading all of the clues! At the end of the "egg hunt" there were two groupons to a 9 hole golf course! It was awesome.  You know some wives out there don't want their husbands playing golf all the time but mine embraces it! 

We then went to Northview Bible Church for easter service and Norm Schwab preached out of Acts 3.  His main part of his message was that we should obey God in terms of our call to repentance and following God's will and, are we praising God in the midsts of our trials?

After Church we went to two dinners!  One with our couple friends, Chris and Julie Aurtry and Spencer and Mechenzie Mroczek. We then went to one of my professor's house for a BBQ. It was fun mingling with all of my classmates qhilw having my wife there! 

Overall I say it was the best Easter EVER!!! 

I was getting so frustrated working with an extremely exhausted and sleepy husband...he didn't read the clues in the rhyming swing I had wrote and my battery was dying.  Therefore, I had to shut off the camera, assist him a bit, and then he proceeded with much success.

It's a bit hard to understand him as he reads the first letter and then the clues.  In quote, "Happy 1st Easter - 2011 Style!  We don't have eggs, we don't have a yard, so actually you won't have to look very hard.  Instead of eggs you look for clues, they are written on paper in Easter color hues.  They fit like a puzzle, they fit like a piece, so don't give up, don't cease.  In the end you won't regret, so don't give up my precious pet.  I love you more than words can express, if you can't finish I wouldn't love you any less.  So let's celebrate, let's jive, because Jesus is really, REALLY alive!!!"
