I have to say, this Spring Break was full of ups and downs,
although mostly ups, and despite the downs, it may still qualify as one of my
best spring breaks, mostly due to those I surrounded myself with.
I began my Spring Break early, with a trip to Gilbert to see
my mommy. I packed my swimming suit, not to swim, but just to feel the sun. I
miss feeling the rays of the sun. Here all it does is shine, but never quite
warm anything up.
In any case, my break
started out pretty dandy. I got to romp around in the backyard in the warmth,
and found out I’ll be going to Disneyland this summer! (Thank you, thank you to
my mommy in law) Later, my husband was arranged to pull weeds while I met with
a good friend (and her adorable, adorable baby) for lunch. Oh, it was so
good to see her! I talk too much, but it is always so great to be able to
chatter with her and I always leave our lunches feeling uplifted. My dad came
over and we played Just Dance 3 on the wii. I realized that a lot of the dances
in that game use moves of his that I never thought were actual dancing moves.
Way to go, Dad.
Then I went to see my in-law family! We got to play “Mommy
Taxi” for a day or two, while Mom and Dad took a get-away day. I discovered
that I am glad children arrive in increments. I can gradually learn how to cook
dinner for more than two, and not jump right to seven! Before we left, the
Easter bunny came to visit us early, even including an egg hunt in the
backyard. Unfortunately, we had to cut the trip short and come back to
Flagstaff early, as the weather decided that it would like to have a major
storm watch.
We arrived back to Flagstaff to find that our mailbox had
blown away. We called our landlord, and he had rescued it. He brought our
mailbox to our door, the entire thing. And we had mail!
Got up and showered for church, but discovered it had been
cancelled… Cancelled church… The thought had never occurred to me before. I
didn’t know that church could be cancelled... but apparently so. Good thing
because I was unsure how I was gonna get out of this bible camp that I live in!
And thus I sit at the conclusion of my spring break, in my
pajamas that I’ve worn all day, with a hair clip on top of my head, not really
holding any hair, a makeup-less face, and chipped nails in dire need of some
attention. And happy that I have a snow day tomorrow.
