Fresh and Clean

I have a love/hate relationship with the spring. It's such a tease. One day, the weather is balmy and 65, and the next, it's snowing sideways. It's also the time of year that goes by the fastest. Soon, I'll be rereading this post and it will summer, and I'll be a high school graduate, basking away in the summer heat. But for now, life is full speed ahead. Senior boards are coming up, along with prom, a choir ski trip, AP exams, and lots of lasts. I'm reveling in all these final high school moments, but am excited for what the future holds.

Today, the birds are chirping and sun is out, and the earth is blooming. So it only felt right to give my blog a spring welcome. I sure can't wait for those summer days, where the birds never stop chirping.

PS- I apologize for my lack of posts, I have a concussion and am avoiding screen time so I can get better faster. Typing/reading/bright screens just make my headache and nausea worse, so I've just been lounging around lately. As soon as I'm feeling better, I have lots to catch up on!

Blessed

Happy Easter! Christos Anesti, He has risen indeed!

This past week was a reminder of all the good things in my life that I so often forget when busy and stressed....

Birthday surprises

and celebrations

Watching great movies all day with my mom that leave old songs in our heads

Movie days after sledding

The best pictures from a BF5ever

Exploring downtown Denver

and ending the day with lots of laughter at the Old Spaghetti Factory

Shopping/running errands with my mom all day...and laughing from pure exhaustion trying on pajamas on top of her clothes at Target

Another day just with my momma, my favorite- ending it with Wahoo's

Cleaning my closet and reorganizing all my clothes in OCD fashion

Purple loving little sister

Reading a great book in less than a day (you better believe I've got a lot to say about it too!)

Watching one of the strangest movies ever

Babysitting my favorite littles

Pictures for me from my cousin (btw, she made only me one! and told me I was her favorite! This is monumental!)

I was going to make use of my break and catch up on blogging- I've got a list of things to record. But I just let things roll, and made the best of each day, getting up by 9 and not going to bed until 12 because I was spending time with some of my favorite people. Life is really about enjoying the small things.

Spring Breakers- HR Style

Spring break has had a pretty amazing start I'd say. My birthday brought a foot and a half of fresh snow which is how spring break in Colorado goes. We're very lucky when it doesn't snow during spring break for sure.

So this is #howwespringbreak 

Saturday was spent on the couch with my mom. It was probably one of the best days ever, I won't lie. We watched a ton of good movies as my other siblings made snow forts and went sledding. We watched The Devil Wears Prada, Mermaids, The Family Stone, Muriel's Wedding (my favorite scene :)), and You've Got Mail, all older movies but so good!! You've Got Mail is my new favorite!!!!

Sunday was just perfect. I watched Crazy, Stupid, Love and had waffles for breakfast, followed by the messiest, fastest sledding experience of my life. Jess, Mack, Riley, and I met up and no bones were broken! Although the first time down for me was a close call;) Mackenzie has a video I'll get from her some other time, but as soon as I started going, it was a flashback to August without a doubt. We went down several times, and each time, we just got more covered in mud from where the track had become bare. Somehow, Riley and I were always rolling on top of each other, or holding onto each other in mid-air, or hitting heads. It was so much fun! Definitely more fun than whatever goes down in this new movie. It looks ridiculous, definitely not what I would expect for a Selena Gomez movie! The day continued with hot chocolate, popcorn, and going to the movies. Riley, Mackenzie, and I saw Admission and Silver Linings Playbook. Riley only asked about 12,000 questions in Silver Linings Playbook. We were planning on grabbing a late dinner at Outback because we all wanted steak, but it closed at 9- ridiculous! So we went to a less classier Red Robin. Oh well, it worked. A traditional Sunday night sleepover followed, and we watched P.S. I Love You (one of my favorites!!) and Riley continued to ask 12,000 questions before falling asleep.

Hair in her mouth hahaha

Movie #1- Admission

Stereotypical teenagers at the movie picture

Movie #2- Silver Linings Playbook

Riley being Riley

The snow made a butterfly on Mackenzie's car, we were all pretty excited!

Monday turned into sleeping in late, lunch with my mom, a long shopping trip at Target, and shopping for new flooring for our basement. Exciting stuff folks. But I'd do that ANYDAY over school!

Tomorrow the adventures continue with shopping, one of my favorite things ever!
