Ode to Spring Break

Oh Spring Break. It was so lovely. And so fast. And now it is gone. Here are some of the fun things that happened:

Monday:

• Lots of shopping! I went and spent my birthday money and then took the hubs out for his birthday shopping spree. We had loads of fun and he got some awesome clothes & shoes. :)

Tuesday:

• If you can believe it, a little more shopping. I finally bought my swimming suits for the summer. Yes, I had to get two this year so that I didn't completely trash one in one summer. I LOVE both of them!

Casey's suit is on the left & mine are the two on the right :) LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Wednesday:

• City Creek Mall with Connie & Amy. We took the Front Runner and Trax down so we didn't have to fight with parking. After riding the Front Runner twice to Salt Lake I have to say I much prefer driving my own car. It takes like twice as much time to get anywhere with all of the waiting.
• Also, I wasn't that impressed with the mall. It was pretty, but the majority of the stores were so expensive that there was no way I could even think of shopping in them. Nordstrom had shoes for $3,000. Who pays that kind of money for a pair of shoes!? Especially when they don't look that much different than the $25 ones I buy.

Thursday:

• LOGAN! :) Oh how I love that place. It is fun to go for a visit every once in a while. We headed up there for my A Pin ceremony (an award for getting a 4.0 two consecutive semesters with 15 credits or more).

• Casey snapped a few pictures of me in my cap and gown while we were up on campus. Wearing the cap & gown makes it all seem real. It's crazy how fast graduation really does come!

• We went to the temple. I love the Logan temple. We just so happened to go to a Spanish speaking session, so we got to wear the headphones so that we could understand the session. I have a new found appreciation for not having to wear those things!

• Dinner @ Texas Roadhouse. Yum. :)

Friday:

• I went to Orem to see Aaron, Crystal, & my cute little nephew Grayson. He is such a sweet baby. He is the kind of baby that makes you want a baby because he is so beyond perfect. It was fun to snuggle him and spend time with Aaron & Crystal. :)

Saturday:

• My day of resting. I made sure I had everything put together for teaching and basically laid around being lazy. I enjoyed it.

Sunday:

• Easter! It was a busy one too! We went to church and then headed to the hospital to see my old roommate Emily. She had brain surgery! Nuts right!? It was good to see her looking healthy and happy.
• Dinner @ the Kings. Casey & I were the only ones who were there for dinner, so we enjoyed a tasty meal with Mom & Dad. Then Aaron & Crystal came up so we played a game and I snuggled with the baby again. :) I basically take any snuggle time I can with him!

Spring Break was great. It gave me a taste of what it would be like to have summer break again. I am so ready for summer & swimming. Only 7 1/2 weeks until school gets out. It really isn't that long considering that the kids test in 4 weeks...then we only have a few weeks of school after testing is over. It will be summer before we know it!

Casey is almost finished with school (lucky duck!). He is happy to be done and has done pretty well this semester. I am proud of him. I don't talk about him often enough on the blog. I feel kind of selfish. I sure do love him though. :)
