breakin spring in

Well, USU just had their spring break back in March. I took a few days off and had a ton of fun with friends and family! Here's what happened:

1. Friday : Stacy, Michelle, Steve, Jon, and myself went to Pita Pit. Let me tell you something--it was delicious! I had a this pita that had chicken, and sauce, and lettuce, and veggies, and some other good stuff in it...yeah it was so good that I can't even tell you what was in it. Afterwards we went to Michelle's parents house and played Just Dance (which we borrowed from my good friend Rowdy...I mean I had to spray his pillow with my best smelling perfume in order to borrow those games! haha). Now let me tell you this--Just Dance = FUN!!! Yes I said it, FUN!

2. Saturday: This was a day of shopping with Stacy and Michelle. We went to Layton and it was so fun! I forget how much bigger malls are than the Cache Valley mall. There were so many options...I like options. Later that night we all went to the movie "The Lorax" with Stacey. It was a cute show for sure.

3. Sunday: I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing at 9 am. It was a text from my 1st Counselor. Here's a summary of what he said, "Paula, one of our speakers is going out of town today. I'm looking for a quick sub, could you take 10 minutes?" SAY WHAT?! I told him yes. Why do I have to be nice? Haha. I had a homecoming to go to at 11, so I gathered up some materials in 30 minutes, got ready for the day, went to the homecoming, got back home at 12:25, prepared my talk, went to church at 1:30, and gave my talk. It surprisingly went well! Yay for last minute talks! Best thing about this Sunday: Playing at 3 different parks with Stacy and Mitch. We sure did bring out the inner kids inside of us. :)

4. Monday: The day of FHE. And guess what? We went to TWO FHE's this Monday! That's right...we are just that cool. I mean we're so cool, ice cubes are jealous. How did we get the opportunity to go to two? Well, I'll tell you. First of all, we were driving out to a park in Hyrum to meet up with our ward. There we we ate hot dogs and chips and played frisbee and stuff. On our way to the park, I realized that we were following my old bishop on the road. Naturally, I text him (fyi...I wasn't the driver), and I told him that we were right behind him. He slowed down and we passed him and waved. It was so funny. Next thing I know I get a text back from him and he invited me and my friends to his ward's FHE at his house that night. So what did we do? We went. I love his house. He owned/owns a business and let me tell you....he's got one SwEET house! I'm talking 3 stories with a beautiful kitchen, pool table, ping pong table, studio room, other rooms, outside pool, lots of land, and the backyard view.... Hyrum Dam! Literally, it's right in their backyard. Needless to say, it was a good night. We ended it playing Just Dance at Mitch's place.

5. Tuesday: This was an odd night. So Mitch is in this canoe competition for his club and he needed some help to put some fur on a stryo foam bear. Told ya...odd. But it turned out to be pretty cool looking and after we did as much as we could that night we went to Zeppes. The place of Italian Ice. Mmmmm, tasty. :D

6. Wednesday: Okay okay, guess what day this was?? Huh? Any guesses? That's right, it was PI day!! You know, 3.14?? I love pi day. I mean it brings me back to high school math...seriously, that's where I learned about pi day. Specifically in Mrs. Koch's class. I sat on the third row, three seats back (that was my assigned seat...just sayin). To celebrate, we bought two pies at Lee's. Word of advice: If you're going to buy frozen pies, buy it the day before or early in the day so that they have time to defrost. We defrosted them on the stove. Want to know how? Come ask me for details.

7. Thursday: I went to dinner with my sister Camille and her friends. Just imagine this...there's about 10 moms and me. Haha, I know kind of weird, but I've known her friends for 5 years and it was fun!

8. Friday : Lava Hot Springs baby!!! Group who went: Michelle, Stacy, Steve, Mitch, Ashley Lee, and me!!! We drove the hour and a half up to lava and enjoyed some sweet solitude in the hot pools of lava. I love hot pools I love hot pools I love hot pools!! They are HOT! Haha.

9. Saturday: We drove out to Peppridge Farm on Saturday morning. We bought a lot of gold fish! Yay for the fish that smiles back!! Oh, I almost forgot the best part about this day...It was St. Patrick's Day!! Mitch had a St. Patrick's Day Party and it was super fun! We played an Irish Drinking Game (no alcohol of course) and then we all were laying on the ground for awhile until we had to relieve ourselves periodically during the night. Good times! :)

Wow...I hope I didn't bore you, but this was spring break of 2012 for me. Peace and blessings.
