Spring Break

So here is a real post for you all out there in blogland.

Before I get to spring break, I was looking through some pictures and found some from Valentines day. This year I have been trying to decide wether a boyfriend is something I can handle right now. I have been blessed with a roommate who is always there for me to throw ideas and thoughts off of which has been a great blessing. For Valentines Day or SAD (Singles Awareness Day) I went to a fondu party with Emily and some other friends which was really fun. When I came back to the room after the party I found my valentines day present from Jillian on my desk. It is a frog prince made of chocolate. How much better can prince get?

The next day I went to the post office and found a care package from home and a card from Jillian that almost made me cry. It is nice to know that I really dont need a guy to feel loved.

Ok so on to Spring Break. I went home for the first part and then to Crossville and Pigeon Forge for the last half.
Saturday night we finally had Sarah's Suprise 18th birthday party. She had no clue! We spent the night eating, playing Apples to Apples and Taboo, and laughing until it hurt. The pictures arent wanting to load at all so I'll try to get them up somewhere sometime soon for you all to see.

The rest of the beginning of the week was spent resting and doing chores around the house. On Wednesday Tory and I went to lunch and then to visit HFA for a little while. It was good to see Tory and the people at HFA. I saw Mom Royal and we had a nice chat about life in general. It is always great to see her.

Thursday I went to Crossville to spend the night. I stopped to see Mamaw and Papa on my way to Nanny and Pa's. It was good to see them. After eating a wonderful dinner with Nanny and Pa I took Emalee out for ice cream. It was great to hear all about her life as a 4th grader and to give her some advice I have learned over the years. After Ice cream we played cards for about an hour. I see a future Nerts player in the family. She was fast with the cards.

Friday I left around noon to meet Katie and Zane in Pigeon Forge. We spent the weekend shopping and just hanging out. It was nice to just relax for a while.

Today I got back on campus around 2 and ran a few errands then unpacked and reorganized some of my things.

For a Relay update....I have passed up my first goal of $300 and have raised it to $500. My team is currently in 2nd place only behind the Survivor team. I am so happy to be able to do this in memory of Uncle Russell and I want to thank you all for your support in my journey.

This looks like it will be a busy week with classes and meetings most every day.
