Spring Break

Spring Break was here and now it's gone. I've never really seen a week go by so fast. I'm really sad to see it go because I was lucky enough to have my mom and little brother here for spring break, so both Ricky and I got the week off from work. It was great to not have to work and be able to spend all week with Ricky and my family. Plus we actually got to go out and do stuff.

The first night they were here wasn't very exciting because it is a 3 hour drive from Lubbock to here and that on top of the almost 10 hours of travel they had of driving from Rupert, Id. to Salt Lake City, then flying from Salt Lake to Vegas to Lubbock is a bit much to really add anything too energetic to, so we just took them out to dinner and enjoyed an evening of relaxation.

Don't they look tired?

The next day was Sunday so they got to go to church with us and see and meet our ward. The rest of the day was mostly me making dinner while everyone else caught up on beauty sleep then watching movies and playing Rock Band the rest of the night.

Monday was spent shopping for groceries for the week, and giving Mom and Daryl a basic tour of the base and Abilene, and then home to play Rock Band.

Tuesday was a tour of the airplanes here on base, a little more shopping and then more Rock Band and FHE cause we forgot to do it Monday.

My mom took a picture of ever airplane. It was kind of funny. She also got quite a few good ones of me Ricky and Daryl.

It was actually a lot of fun going around and learning more about all of these planes.

Wednesday was exciting for Daryl and Ricky cause we had our friend David take them up in a smaller airplane and go for a crazy ride, while me and mom went and did some more shopping, then came home and relaxed the rest of the day.

Daryl was really excited about this, and I don't think he was disappointed.

They took a lot of pictures so I'm just putting these two because they show them inside the plane and that they were really high up.

Thursday was the zoo and then fishing the rest of the day.

We took tons of pictures here, and so that I don't bore anyone I'm only putting a few.

This owl seemed to be really angry. It was funny.

There was a game of king of the stump going on with the turtles.

Daryl caught a huge fish almost right off the bat.

Daryl was having a ton of luck while fishing cause the second fish he caught wasn't too long after the first.

If I remember right this was actually the fourth fish Daryl caught, cause he got one but it got away before we were able to get a picture of it.

Ricky actually didn't catch any this time but He's sure to go back and fish again, but so he didn't feel left out I took a picture of him with the live bait on the hook.

Friday was relax and watch movies and then to a Bonzi place for dinner and finally watch a crazy storm roll in.

Daryl's idea of relaxing is always playing on the computer. I think he had a game going on the entire time he was here.

And today was me getting up extra early to take mom and Daryl back to Lubbock so they could go home. I didn't take any pictures cause I was too tired to remember much about anything except driving safe and staying awake.

Oh also, Friday Ricky and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary together. Technically it's this Sunday, but since it is a Sunday and Ricky has weekend duty, we did it friday. He surprised me with a Kitchen Aide mixer. I was so excited!

I couldn't believe he actually got it for me. I was saving up to get one for Christmas, but now i guess I can put that toward something for Ricky.

So because he did that for me I let him go buy a 22. He's been wanting a gun and since I've already told him he's getting his hand gun for his birthday he decided a 22 would be a good one to get now.

He was pretty happy about getting it, now he just has to find time to use it.
