Back to work I go....

Spring Break 2008 is officially over! I'm a little saddened about having to go back to real world tomorrow morning. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my 10-day vacation and pretty much accomplished all that I set out to do. Here are some of the highlights:

Meeting the future in-laws: Well, as I stated in an earlier post, I met Kevin's family at the beginning of my break. It was a pleasant trip seeing as though I don't typically do car rides. We made great time and he gets a gold star for driving like he had good sense. He really is a good driver...I simply have my issues. His family is wonderful and I can't wait to go back to visit them as well as have them here. I enjoyed seeing the various parts of Virginia as it related to Kevin's life. He did a great job giving me a tour of the area. I really want to go back when the weather is really nice so that we can fully take in the downtown Norfolk area at night.


Sleep: I can honestly say that I got a lot of sleep during this break! I probably got more than what I originally wanted. What I don't think most people know about me is that I truly keep a busy schedule. It felt so great being able to lay in the bed and not be on any one's schedule but my own. I have to admit on most of the days I felt guilty about simply doing nothing but Kevin constantly reminded me that I was on vacation so it was perfectly fine to be in the bed until 1:00pm! I even noticed that Bentley started getting up later and later! There was a time she would lick my fingers until I got up and took her out at 7:00am at the latest. Oh well, we are both in for a rude awakening (no pun intended) tomorrow morning when it's back to 5:45am!

Taste of New Orleans: It was a great success again this year. I was only able to take 4 girls this year but I must say that they had a good time and I did as well. I did however come to the conclusion that I would like to attend this event in the future without students so that I am able to fully enjoy myself as an adult among other adults! Don't get me wrong because the overall purpose of me taking students to these types of events is to give them the exposure. I would just like to go in order to fully mix and mingle with people my age as well as network. It was still a good time had by all.
