Spring Break



Jason and I began our Spring Break by throwing my parents a 25th Anniversary Party. Jason is such a help through anything, and this time was no different. We both had been planning the party for a few months and the turn out was great! The party was at my church and my parents had the chance to celebrate the wonderful team they have made for the past 25 years.




After the party Jason and I went to visit my sister in Grand Junction. On the way there Jason was going 70 mph through Glenwood Canyon. 250$ ticket!!! But anyways..... my sister is great!! They have a one bedroom house that is just perfect for their family. Marley has started crawling and is just the cutest nephew I could ask for.

Look at that cute thing!! So big! I cannot believe it!
Jason will make such a great Dad someday!

The next day was Jason's Birthday and we spent the day at Beaver Creek. Jason decided he wanted to try snowboarding and he did great. He only fell a few times and thank God he had a helmet. He enjoyed it but admits skiing is probably easier. We ate dinner at Vail Village and ended with ice cream and chocolate from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. I hope he had a good birthday, I know I had fun spending the day with him!

Jase on a lift, definitely shows why I love him soooo much!

Not a bad picture of us! Happy 22nd Jason!
I made him let me take a picture before dinner with this girly hat on! Sorry Jase!

Friday night and never been happier!

In high school I was a 4.0 student. I never had to study it just came easy, I remember planning college out like it would go as smoothly as high school. Engineering, Easy? What was I thinking? Freshman year I had to learn that getting a C in an engineering class, was an A in a high school class. Granted it took plenty of nights crying over "bad" grades and seeing other people studying the same thing fail for me to realize I was doing just fine for an engineering student. My mom tries to explain that going to college is one of the hardest things that I will do. As a college student you have multiple distractions as well as being in a new environment. After two years living in an environment that was not compatible with me succeeding in my classes I realized getting my own place would be the right choice. Last night I took my first Differential Equations Exam (this is my last math class!!!!). This morning, at 8am. I went to class wondering if I did as good as I felt I did. BINGO! 91.25% on the first exam. The average was a 79%. I have never felt more on top of the world! I had to brag, engineering is not second nature to me, and I work really hard for average grades, but maybe now that I have my habits down I will get back into my high school grade mode! So excited to get such a good grade!!!
