Busy but fun filled spring break






So as most of you know, my spring break was last week. It was busier than I had planned but it was still lots of fun. On good Friday I headed to my grandpas to spend some time with him. We went to my favorite restaurants, the Texas Roadhouse and of course Cracker Barrel. We also had a nice brunch by the beach for Easter. I went to the beach a couple times and the aquarium. We came back to Maryland last Wednesday and Thursday we took a trip the much larger National Aquarium of Baltimore. They have a great new exhibit called Jellies Invasion. This features a few different types of Jelly Fish. They have an awesome dolphin show and some great walk through exhibits. It's definitely a place to visit. Saturday, we took a trip down to Washington DC. We watched the Cherry Blossom Festival parade and went to a street Festival. My personal favorite part was watching my cousin Alex perform. Alex is Critters older sister. She is 8 and she is a black belt. Critter just got his white belt. They live Hapmudo. Their parents are great people who own and run the YSL Hapmudo studio. It's really neat to watch them perform. They broke boards, jumped over mats and much more. Monday it was back to school. yuck. I was reminded how much I hate math.. Well, at least it's Wednesday! Happy Wednesday! Have a great day!

Sorry i'm so late. Easter fun






Hey everyone! I'm sorry this post is so late. I forgot my USB cable when I went on vacation. Last Friday my mom dad and I piled in the car and headed down to Virginia beach to visit my grandpa. There were some fun parts to the trip. We arrived around 9 on Friday night so we didn't do much that day. It took us 8 hours to get to his house instead of the normal 4. Saturday we spent some time around the house, then headed to kohls for some bargain shopping :) Everyone loves a good sale. We ate lunch at one of my favorite restaurants and got an edible arrangement.I also managed to die some Easter Eggs. There's the five year old in me. Sunday was Easter, so we went to church with my grandpa and then down to the beach. We ate at a huge buffet at the Hilton. Normally I have something against that hotel just because of Paris Hilton, but I won't lie. This set up was great. They had everything. After our huge lunch we walked down to the beach for some pictures.We also visited my great grandmother. She's in her 90's but she's always good for an entertaining story. I've got some pictures of her cat Tagger. Monday was another day around my grandpas house for me, getting some sun. Then Tuesday we headed to the aquarium. I don't have pictures of this, I forgot my camera but i'm sure if you have checked out my moms blog you'll see some posted soon. Then today we drove home. How was your Easter and your week? Happy Thursday. Come on guys hang in there, it's almost Friday!

If you get there before I do

This song means a lot to me. My grandparents would have been married 60 years this summer. Unfortunately my grandmother passed away a little over two years ago. They were married very young, right out of high school. They had their problems but they loved each other very much. This song makes me think of my grandparents. The only time I saw my grandpa cry was at the funeral. And I can imagine him saying this. She's in heaven before him but they'll be together again one day. Does this song bring back any memories? What do you think of it?

HAPPY 18 MONTH ANNIVERSARY ADAM!





So today happens to be my 18 month anniversary with my boyfriend Adam. And yes, when you're only 16 it's a big deal. I'm a sophomore in high school and we have been together almost since the beginning of our freshman year. We have so much in common it's scary. We've been through a lot together and I know I can always count on him. So, Happy Anniversary Adam!

International Night


Last night my high school hosted international night. It was amazing. They had people from all different cultures set up tables with food and music and posters. Lots of people wore their cultural clothes and everything. I am taking german, and my parents lived in Germany for a few years, so I attended and helped a little with the german table. I made Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte, other wise known as black forest cherry cake, with a little help from my mom. I also made authentic Spatzle. The cake disappeared rather quickly, I got to have a taste first though and it was really good. (I swear i'm not just saying that) I got to try lots of different food, perform a german dance for people, watch 2 martial arts groups, and hang out with my friends. It was a really great time. :)Happy Thursday! It's the last day of school before spring break for me! HAPPY SPRING!
