2 weeks of Spring Break!!

okay, so i didn't ACTUALLY get 2 weeks of Spring Break. As most of you know, i spend my afternoons working at a high school. My spring break was March 7th-14th. Instead of just relaxing for the week, i decided to use my extra time to get LOTS of things done! i had a chance to straighten out my finances, send some important emails, update my resume, wash and detail my car, get new tires, get my windshield fixed (FINALLY!!), plant flowers in the flower beds out front, make an appt to get my eyes checked, take the dog with me to hike Thunderbird mtn, a trip to the temple, and even got a chance to finish my book and start a new one.

BEFORE i cleaned out the leaves from fall and old dead flowers.

And after i finished planting the new ones. i was pretty proud of myself. Now i'm doing my best to keep everything alive!!

Marcy had his Spring Break the 14th through the 21st. and he decided to spend it with me :) He got in Saturday night and i LOVE seeing him!! We went to eat that night at BJs at Desert Ridge. Great food and Great ambiance. AND, the suns game was on and we got to see my brother on TV!

Marcy was a great sport for the week and tagged along with me at the high school for 3 afternoons!! He hung out in the training room, got water ready, loaded the golf cart, hung out at softball games with me, cleaned water bottles, sat at track practice with me, and even met with my school principal and several of the coaches (all of whom were trying to talk him into moving here to AZ and they'd give him a job). It probably wasn't marcy's first choice for how to spend his spring break, but i appreciate his good attitude. Spending time with Marcy is the best! no matter where it is or what we're doing!

Marcy and I both enjoy eating out. and we did ALOT of it while he was here. it's possible i put on 10 pounds in 7 days. We ate a little of everything: BJs, Qdoba, Wingstop, Quiznos, KFC, Amado's, Cinnabon, TGIFridays, Carlos O'Brian's, In-n-Out, Sneaker's Grill, AND Dairy Queen. BUT when we weren't eating out, we did find some fun things to do!!

Wednesday night we went to the Suns Game! Superfun time and our seats were great! Marc took some good pics that night!

Thursday night we got together with some of my friends and their spouses and went to a Spring Training game: Padres vs Mariners. Marc and I both wore our Padres shirts- but we were pretty stoked to see Ken Griffey Jr playing for the Mariners. But the best part of the game was just hanging with friends :)

Overall it was a great week! but like they say, all good things come to an end. Marc had to fly back to Texas on Saturday morning. He's been gone for 3 days and i miss him already. Time to settle in for the next 6 weeks til i get to see him again!
