How was your spring break?

True, for the first time since I got to BYU I had a spring break. 

We won't talk about how I only had a spring break because I finished my one and only class this semester over Independent Study.

The important thing was that I had a spring break.

So what did I do this spring break?

I'll make you a list.

Because I like lists.

1. Hung with the fam.  The extended family actually.  It was nice.  We have the same last name.  Most similarities end there, but that is the beauty, you love them anyway. :)
2. Got accepted to grad school.  I am so unbelievably excited/scared.
3. Bought new hiking boots, a water purifier and a lifetime membership to REI.  Some people may not find this exciting.  That's to bad for them because I sure do.
4. Found a basement kitchen for the basement apartment Otis and I will be sharing.  Talk about divine intervention.  For less then it would cost to get the appliances, Otis and I will have beautiful cherrywood cabinets, granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances that all miraculously fit the kitchen area in our basement within 1/2 of an inch.  No joke.  
5. Found ridiculously, cheap, durable porcelain tile that is an incredibly close match to the natural travertine stone throughout the house (matching the tile was a requirement).  This Thursday the tile will be delivered, Friday we will install it and Saturday we will pick up the miracle kitchen.
6. My wonderful Aunt Karen turned 30.  You would never guess by looking at her, but a wife and mother of two adorables has to get older sometime.
7. Moved Karen and Nate to his mothers in preparation for them getting their new home.  Heartbreaking but every new chapter unfortunately has to start with change.

So there you go.  Spring break super busy.  An even busier week this week, but it is ok...I like it.

Oh, and here is a wonderful picture of my wonderful new hiking shoes courtesy of rei.com.
