Spring Break

With all that I packed into my spring break, it seems as if it just flew by.  Between a spring training game, a college visit, a horse show, and a few days at the pool, there was not one day that I was not doing something fun!  It was nice to finally relax and take a break from the constant stress of school work after an especially difficult week before the quarter's end.  I was lucky to be able to spend time with my best friends before everyone took off to different locations for break.  We stayed up late at night laughing and joking with each other and talking about the upcoming break.  On Monday, my mom, dad, and I took a trip to Palo Alto to visit Stanford for a quick 48 hours.  We saw the beautiful campus and the cute surrounding areas of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Los Altos.  When we came home on Tuesday night I jumped right into a horse show for the rest of the week.  I spent about 10+ hours at the show each day, but made sure to spend time with my friends too.  We spent our afternoons tanning poolside in the "summer" heat that seemed to be coming way to early.  As always, the busy and exhausting days at the horse show were some of my favorite moments of the weekend.  

However, nothing was quite the same without my partner in crime, my sister, who was on the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos trip.  The best feeling in the world was coming home and seeing her sitting in the kitchen after 7 days with little communication except a few short texts.  My sister is my best friend and we tell each other everything, so not being able to even tell her about my day was incredibly difficult.  As soon as I saw her, I sprinted to her and jumped into her arms, which my mom thought was a perfect "Kodak moment."  We spent the next three hours going day by day about our favorite moments of the break.  My spring break was crazy busy, but that is what made it so fun!!

As we enter the fourth quarter, I cannot believe that I will be a senior in high school in just a few short months.  I have so much to look forward to before the school year ends, including prom and a ski trip with my family.  I get to watch my brother graduate from Texas Christian University and my sister graduate from NDP.  But with that, I will also become the only child in my house, which I wish would never happen.  I am very excited, yet nervous for the future.
