spring shock

As much as I adore my students and their always comical 'words of wisdom' to me in my dating efforts, I am having a difficult time adjusting to being back at school since Spring Break.

Maybe that is because I had an amazing week, being with friends, visiting with Jessy, who came to visit me, and an extremely fun trip to Seattle and surrounding areas in Washington. Break was a whirlwind of friends, food, laughter and relaxation.

First, we celebrated Amanda's birthday and the beginning of break the first weekend of break. That Sunday, Jessy flew in and spent 3 days with me. We went hiking in Boulder, visited the brewery in Fort Collins, and did our normal 'Jessy and Caroline' thing.. On Wednesday I flew to Seattle with Joanna to visit her brother, aunt, uncle and cousins. We spent 2 nights with her brother in Everett, WA where he works at Boeing. Then we spent a night down town Seattle exploring the night life where her rambunctious cousins. The last night before Easter, we stayed at her aunt and uncle's place in Issaquah. It is a beautiful area and her family was so wonderful to me and accommodating. We had a nice Easter and sorrowfully returned to a busy busy week with lots of work, SNOW and school.

Ah, but the count down has officially begun. 7 more weeks until spring break! (and I am beginning to feel like I might just miss my little angelitos after all)

Hope spring has sprung where you are. Sending love and sunshine.
