Spring Break, Baby!

well i have offically been home for a week and guess what... today is the first day the sun was out! but it was out and so i took advantage of it. my friend kacey and i packed up her car with my goddaughter (kacey's kid) and her niece, shovels and pails, sunscreen, and plenty of pb&j. i must say that hitting the beach with 2 three year olds is way more fun than going with a bunch of adults. these days i go to the beach and lay out in the sun, reading a trashy magazine or whatever book i happen to be into at that moment. but with the girls today it was way better. we built sandcastles, ran after crabs, and played in the water. we waved to every surfer and spent a good ten minutes watching a boat drift by. it was like experiencing a bit of my childhood again. ah, soooo worth the exhausted feeling that now rests in the pit of my stomach.

but the beach is not the only way i have been keeping busy so far this break. tyler hellinga and i spent st. patrick's day in a movie theater with one old guy. it was creepy and hilarious and if you ask me about it i would love to relate the story. i have had dinner at the hellinga household- which in case you were wondering, is always a good idea.

i love being here, love being in my room and seeing my friends and family. but i gotta say i am beginning to be ready to go home. so... seattle see you in a couple days!
