Spring Break

Hi Y'all!! It's spring break, so I'm not updating as frequently this week. I'm sorry!

I'd be updating like crazy if Spring Break this year were like most other years, but it's warm outside, the sun has been out, and I've been trying to get outside as much as possible to enjoy it while it lasts! Yesterday I took my beautiful niece to the park by my house. She was so excited, but not to play on the equipment.. all she wanted was to walk around in the rocks. She's still only 18 months, so I guess that's okay, but you could never imagine how happy she was. Then, when she was all done with her Nilla Wafers (aka they were gone) she went back to the stroller, lifted up the bowl and said "Mo" which was the cue to go home.

Hmmm... what else has happened? I went and visited my old high school-- that was a blast. It's always really great to talk to my old teachers, because they were so kind and caring when we had them, and it never really went away. I was pretty shocked that the principal remembered me by name.. mostly because I wasn't a trouble maker so I never spent much time in his office or anything, but it made me feel good. My favorite part of going back is talking to my two English teachers and the two APES teachers. They're always the most interested in where our lives are and how the world is treating us.

I've spent some time with L.Palo, which is always amazing. Best friend = great time (obviously). There was an amazing date night with the boyfriend. We learned how to play Backgammon, and it honestly was one of the most wonderful nights I've had. I was able to really remember how awesome the past 2 1/2 years have been, and I've barely been able to stop smiling since.

My sister, her husband and I have been working on a puzzle all break, and I'd say we're down to the last hundred or so pieces... I'm SO ready for it to be done. I want the next one.. it's way cooler and there aren't any annoying trees. I told my sister tonight, that puzzle makes tree huggers hate trees. Sadly, I've learned from experience.

Tomorrow is cupcake baking with L.Palo and the boy, and we'll be enjoying some IBC Cream Soda / tea. Basically, I'll be making the cupcakes while they sit and watch/ do stuff drinking the cream soda, and then they'll both enjoy the delicious cupcakes when they're done. Standard procedure.

Love Always,
H.Eilene
