Hey galz. So I am returned from my last spring break vacation ever. What.... It was really great though. Ft. Laudy was sunny and warm, although it still got chilly in the nighttime. We drove down and stayed one night in Valdosta, and got to Asher's Aunt Sharon's beach house on Saturday. Sharon was great. She is way cooler than I will ever be in my forties, and she couldn't have been more welcoming.
The SB crew: Al, Jimmy, Ell Bell, Ash baby, me, Boofie
Sharon's house was a five minute walk to the beach, so we had beach days on Sunday and Monday. We had gone grocery shopping promptly after arriving in Ft. Lauderdale, so we planned out our meals for the week and ate like kings. Or Americans....either way. Hehe. We did so many random things: we had a pizza party with Asher's grandparents and relatives one night. We went to a ridiculous Guido bar called Blue Martini where I literally felt as though I was watching an episode of Jersey Shore. We saw Alice in Wonderland on a cloudy day. We woke up at 5:30 to go see the sun rise one morning (and got Krispy Kremes). [Sidenote: this was Asher's idea, and a fail. It was freezing cold and we all wanted to stay in bed. Pretty, but not as great as the
concept of watching the sunrise.] We went to Miami and walked around, had high tea for Becca's birthday with her family, and had a 1 am dance party on the beach on a night that we joined up with some of our Athens friends that had been camping in the Keys and came to stay a night with us.
The tandem bicycle of our neighbors that we admired all week! (Becca & Jimmy borrowed it our last night in Florida)

There are more pictures on facebook. All in all it was a really good trip. There is such a closeness among our group, everyone is so loving and it was just good time to be together and enjoy one another.
I love you all!

I know its been too long, I fail, I'm sorry. Anyways, this picture kinda sums up what's been going on lately. Weather is getting better, and with it, my mood. My friends and I have taken to lying in our front yard on warm days. I'm still waiting till every day is warm, cause we still have some cold ones randomly thrown in. Senior year is starting to chill, minus spanish. My only homework is spanish and reading various novels for Huddleston. I'm getting so close.... I'm so ready. Guess what concert is coming Sunday? Joanna Newsom. Guess which concert is only 18 and up? Joanna Newsom. Guess who will be eleven stinking days away from being 18 on Sunday? Grrr.... Although, I'm still relatively concert-content from the Tally Hall/Jukebox the Ghost/Skybox concert Monday night. It was really happy, I want to be back there.
This was from our DI tournament a few weekends ago. And yes, that is burlap I'm wearing. In case I hadn't already told all of you, we're different dolls: Cara - a windup doll; me - voodoo doll; Mariam - bratz doll; Kelsey - barbie of course; Carolyn - Raggedy Anne. It went pretty well, but we don't think we got as many points as we deserved. Hopefully we'll improve for state.
Here's me in my prom dress, since I know you all wanted to see how it actually turned out. Ignore the fact I looked icky that day please :), just look at the dress. Violin has been going fine, just a big time commitment. My hour lessons started leaning towards hour fifteen minutes, which started leaning towards an hour and a half. and my hour group lessons are looking more like 2 hours now. its a little exhausting. Guess what? In a week, I'll be walking about Lucerne (six days till the plane). I need to pack. I'm so incredibly excited, its amazing. I'll take tons of pictures, and post as soon as I get back. Love you sisters, ciao.
