Easter, Family, Frank, and German

The joys of Easter ran abundantly today, beginning with a conversation with my best friend and ending in the exact same way. Of course, my favorite part of the day was my adventure to a church in Austin with Matt and Moriah this morning. Hope Chapel: the first church to totally make me question my perspective on the definition of 'church' the first time I attend! First off, I need to explain that I grew up in a family that did not dance. There's no explanation for this, we just didn't do it; this would probably be the reason why I won't dance - don't ask me (yea, Frank Sinatra!). Not that dancing is wrong, but coming to a charismatic church where there are a couple of questionable men in front of us was just something different entirely. Emotions were flowing like white water rapids. It's one of those experiences that last a lifetime.
After a wonderful lunch at the LaCour's, I called home and talked to just about every relative I have. Two at a time. So one would ask about the weather while another would be asking about basketball; it was a very productive conversation time. My favorite question of all came from one of my uncles, "So when are you going to get a car?" I'd like to think of this question as a joke that has no answer and really isn't funny at all. I've chosen to ignore these inquiries on the basis that the answer could be frightening, not that there is one at this point in time. Speaking of answers, I think that I really want to brush up on my German much more than I'd like to take another semester of English. What more have I yet to learn about the language I grew up speaking (well, besides French)? Ich glaub', dass wir andere Sprache lernen sollen. Americans seem to be the most ignorant people in that they make no effort to learn another language that may benefit them. Europeans, on the other hand, learn at least one other language other than their native tongue. Stupid lazy Americans.
