April 22

Good Friday is upon us and thus my preparations for Easter weekend kick into full gear. Last year I spent my Easter sobbing at a very nice brunch because I missed being at home so much. This year in order to fight off the homesickness I have been proactive and planned my own Easter events.

Tomorrow we will be decorating bunny cakes (a Greene family tradition) and dying Easter eggs and then on Sunday I will be hosting my first Easter dinner. I even got a Smithfield ham and everything so I could rep my VA roots. With a little luck nothing will go terribly awry and if I does we have also stocked up on lots of wine.

So now I shall spend the day cleaning and puttering and preparing and hopefully everything will be lovely. Wish me luck!
