Spring Break (my longest post EVER!)

Ahhh.....spring break. The one week in the middle of spring that gives you a taste of summer (if it's not too cold...i'll tell you about that later) and, perhaps, a boost of energy to get you through finals to summer. If not, it will probably make you miserable because you lost your freedom once again and summer seems way too far away. Pour Moi, I would prefer the first case.

Part of spring break that makes me not look forward to summer are the times when there's nothing to do. So, my plan, is to come up with a list of projects to keep me occupied when all my friends are busy or i can't go anywhere, so i don't spend all day on facebook. So far I have
  • get a job! -I reeeeaaalllly want to,  aaaaannnd... i'm working on it, just not sure if i can yet.
  • paint my room- my brothers had my room before i got it, and its painted this really bright boyish blue...not my taste 
  • read- what i would like to do is get together a list of classic books (like, a lot) and find a nice little spot, the beach would be good, and just read and read and read and read and read. sounds nice :) (and better than sitting on facebook any day!)
  • art- I would like to take art classes next year, so i want to try my hand at painting and such :)
that's all i can think of at the moment. hopefully I'll think of more.

Anyway. Spring break. the first few days i didn't really do anything. Tuesday I went to the Botanical Gardens with the family (which is easier said than done, with two two-years-olds!) and then i went to my friend's house to hang out with a bunch of people. Wednesday I went to Daniella's and we went WERE going to go to the beach, but it was WAY too cold.  Then we were going to go see a movie. We walked all the way there, and it was SOLD OUT! But all was well. we still had a great time (you know you're best friends when you can do practically nothing but still have a blast) we ended up going on a walk to the park in the frigid temperature and took some pictures :)
I think this one's my favorite :)
Afternoon walk to the movies <3
love her!
Thursday I went to Liz, Cat, and Hannah's house :) First, we stopped at 7-11 and got some sour patch kids and Arizona Tea (the best!). Then we sat on the dock and just talked. It was so fun :)
yes :)

there were a lot more pictures by the way :)

Friday I went to a surprise party for a friend, then Saturday I had Softball. we lost. by a lot. But it was still fun :) i was there from 8:30-2:30 because of my brothers' games though and got burnt to crisps (say that with a lisp- it's really fun, trust me), then had another party. Sunday I had 316 (AKA youth group).

In a nutshell, I would say it was a great spring break :)

I've been thinking lately that i never really write anything on my blog. All I ever do is post pictures, with maybe a caption or two, and an explanation. it kind of annoys me. A like to write, it's just i never really know what to write about. You know what I'm saying? (: But....i decided to give it a try and write about something...not sure what yet but give me a few minutes and I'll figure something out :)

'K, here goes........

Lately I've been really interested in drawing flowers.They're just so beautiful. I think it's so fascinating that there are so many of them, and then there are multiple colors of each flower. Just to think that God created each and every perfect one of 'em. He must have a pretty good imagination :) It's also interesting how people can communicate with flowers. For instance, if you sent an Azalea to someone, it would mean "take care" or one of the other meanings.
I'm not very good at drawing, but I still enjoy it ;)


I like that way Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it.

"The earth laughs in flowers."
