here we go again.

I knew this would happen. It's been about two weeks since my last post. I told myself I would keep up with this blog, but so far I haven't seemed to do that...

So after a long grueling week back after spring break, I was able to have an amazingly relaxing weekend:

• ate yummy lunch at the whole foods cafe
• lusted over expensive outdoor equipment at REI
• ate way too much pizza with my bf
• roomie night--brinner and a chick-flick
• spent the day with Chris' parents, his sister Annie, and ate delicious bbq at The Salt Lick
• Sunday afternoon bike ride and picnic with Chris
• The Office season two

... is it a problem that only two of these things didn't consist of food? either way, it was an awesome weekend. Praise the Lawd!

I never got around to posting about my spring break, but all I can say is that it was much needed and I am so sad it's over...and that I got a cactus and feel the need to give it a name. suggestions?

Snowy Santa Fe would be nice

I loving being at home. Tons of rest and good meals. yes, plz.

This weekend was my brother-in-law Tim's birthday which consisted of a family dinner on Friday and then fun hangout time with friends last night. I absolutely love catching up with people I never get to see due to living a few hours away. It's rare I get to just sit and talk with awesome people about what's going on in our lives for hours at a time. I need this to become a more often occurrence in my life. It's refreshing and encouraging.

Despite my wonderful rest I'm getting and good times shared with my family...I'm missing my man! Chris is in the winter wonderland of New Mexico with his family for spring break bombin' some hills. He's been sending me pictures of the crazy amount of snow they have been getting. It looks awesome but I'm definitely enjoying my 75 degree sunny weather. And as long as he is there, I am positive "Santa Fe" from RENT will be stuck in my head playing nonstop on repeat. Why must my mind associate everything in life with a song and then never leave?

Hopping on the bandwagon.

I finally gave in...it's official, I'm a blogger. I'm convinced that this blog will actually be really good for me. My days seem to have every hour packed away with something for me to do, (and it still seems like I don't get everything done) and having this little escape to write a blurb, vent, post a photo, or even a funny anecdote, will be incredibly refreshing. Not to mention I'll be able to feel like I'm more connected to my long-distance friends by reading all their blogs :) anyway, here's to my first post!

Is it seriously spring break already? I need my mind to be more conscious of this crazy speed of life so I don't miss out on anything great. It blows my mind that my sister and her husband will have been have married for six months in about two weeks. Is my mind not wrapping around the fact that I have had a brother for the first time in my life for almost half a year?? And in just less than two months it will be a year since I moved away from SA? I really cannot comprehend how all of the sudden my weeks decided zip right past my face as soon as I blink (although, my exhaustion by Friday clearly proves this is not the case). Maybe, I'm overreacting but that's generally my personality...dramz.

In order to recover from my minor freakout/realization, I need to let you know how incredibly excited I am that it IS already spring break! All I can say is that there is nothing like being home. The phrase "home sweet home" really never sounded so true. This is my time to completely let go of all the craziness of school and enjoy my amazing family, puppies, and sleep. I need to appreciate these spring breaks while I still have them (only two more after this one, yikes!)..and strangely enough, despite my rant of being totally freaked about the speed of life, I'm really looking forward to daylight savings and losing an hour tonight. "Springing forward" is probably my favorite because of how late it stays light outside. It lets me know that summer is just around the corner :) Well, this post is officially long enough. I should get some rest considering I have already lost an hour of sleep. Goodnight new blog world!
