I am so darn busy! Jackie (from Spokane) is here in Grand Forks visiting me this week. Its her spring break this week and we are having a great time together! Tonight we are going to the Canad Inns indoor water park with a fun group of people. Out to the airport yesterday and then Cru and TCBY with 13 friends. So fun! I love friends! They are so great. Friends give me the support I need getting through the day! I love them! Thank you Jesus for your blessing of friends!

What a fun tradition!

Last night was a blast....Tons of friends, Fun Fetti cake, chocolate Cadberry eggs, chips and salsa and EASTER EGG DYING!!!! So much fun was had! Ten of us were hanging at my lil' place and dyed 4 dozen eggs. It was so much fun. The 3 girls ( Kristen, Alyssa and myself) were so delicate and perfect with ours and of course the boys were outta control to say the least. Dying then eating the eggs was not in the plan, but that didn't stop 'em. We has a blast. And now, we are all planning on Easter Dinner together and turning those eggs (or a least whats left of them) into yummy egg salad and deviled eggs. Easter is a great time of year. I was so upset when I was unable to go home this year, but these friends have made it definitely ok to spend Easter in Grand Forks! Thanks guys! I love you all! Happy Easter!

Gallevanting around the Counrty today!

SO today I am traveling to San Diego. At the moment I am stranded in PDX....Portland International Airport. So far I've been in Grand Forks...left there at 3am central time, went to Fargo, departed from there, had a stop in the cities, then it was off the the Mountains...>Denver, such a cool airport. After a 2 hour layover there, here I am in PDX for my 4 hour layover....then to San Diego!!! That makes out for an 18 hour travel day...too bad I don't get those in flight hours! ;) Cannot wait to get there. I am doing homework (yeah right!), and I am sleeping! Nothin's better than having an entire row of 3 seats to yourself when flying....YEAH for sleeping all the way!
So keep me in your prayers, that I make it safely and also that my luggage also arrives...after all I am flying on 2 different airlines in 5 different states and 6 different cities! But...YAY for me...WARM WEATHER FINALLY!

Spring Break

Getting a break is always so awesome! I drove home with two great friends and we had a blast. Even though i was driving more on the fast side, it did take forever to get home! It took us around 18.5 hours to get there due to weather early on on our journey and having some other minor delays! But we finally arrived and Mom was happier than ever to see us! We hung out in Spokane a few days, tried to fly, but the weather sucked that day, and then decided to head over and see Seattle. Jared is from Federal Way, so he met up with his family and I picked up Mandy and went to my aunts house for a DELICIOUS supper and stayed the night. Wednesday we went downtown Seattle and met up with another friend from Seattle area who also goes to UND and ate a wonderful lunch on the pier....Ivar's!!!!!!! Can't beat that!!! ;D After a fun day of being in Seattle, which was completely clear and beautiful, the three of us..Jared, Tom and myself, headed back to Spokane for the night and headed back to good ol' Grand Forks early on Thursday morning. We are now back and its so darn cold here. I went from 50 degrees above to 20 below! Not so fun now! But I am back for some R & R before I head off to San Diego on Tuesday night for a conference. Spring Break was a blast. I grew friendships and made new ones, so I couldn't be happier!
