SPRING BREAK
For spring break, I went on 2 trips. This was the most eventful spring break of my life! I went home first. It was really nice to hang out with my sisters, especially nice to see Katie, who has been away at school just like me and I hadn't seen since January. On the Tuesday of spring break, we all loaded up in my dad's truck and hit the road for Albuquerque, New Mexico. I know what you're thinking, "What on earth could be in Albuquerque, New Mexico?" Well, only the home of the largest violin shop in the country- Robertson's and Sons Violin Shop. Katie and I both got new instruments, and Allison inherited Katie's old cello. Being all new-instrumented up we hit the road back home to Scottsdale.
It was a really great road trip with my family- something we haven't done together in a while. :)
A couple days later, I hit the road yet again, this time with my good friend Paige to drive to Lake Havasu for another good friend of mine's birthday- Jen. Paige coming with us was a huge surprise for Jen, and we had a grand old time. We spent our days hanging out on the lake, or exploring town and our evenings we went out and explored the night life. I have never had a college spring break experience like this one, so it was nice to be a 'real' college student for the first time ever!
And, yes, for any one who's wondering- that little spot on my nose is most definitely a nose piercing! I got it done while in Havasu. :)
MY BIRTHDAY
A month-ish later was my birthday! I love birthdays, always have, pretty sure I always will. I love my birthday, other people's birthdays- I just LOVE birthdays. So for my birthday, I got double celebration. I went home Easter weekend (also the weekend before my birthday) and celebrated Easter and my birthday with my family. I was so lucky that Katie had found a ride home to celebrate with us! This made me very happy. :) Then my family made the Saturday before Easter my day. My mom made green chili burros for my birthday dinner, my sisters made me beautiful presents- Katie made me a charm bracelet that she has a matching one of, and Allison made me a beautiful picture that I will be able to hang in my new apartment! Then, we had Angel food cake with strawberries and whip cream and SPARKLE SPRINKLES (!) for dessert! It was delicious and a beautiful way to spend time with my family. A week later, I celebrated with my friends. We went to Applebee's for dinner, which was delicious and then had a country themed bar- hopping experience. I had a great time, and I love my friends! :)
