So as I am sitting here killing time on my four hour layover in San Francisco, I have been Facebook stalking everyone's Spring Break pictures. People do crazy fun stuff for spring break.....and take LOTS of pictures. For my spring break I didn't go to a foreign country, or a big city, or to crazy spring break parties in Florida. I went home. To Burley, Idaho; where it often smells like cows, driving 15 mph on the highway isn't uncommon due to tractors moseying down the road, and the icy winter wind is enough to make a person never want to step outside again. It's also where my family lives and where I will always call home. I knew from the start that when I got home it wasn't going to be a crazy week full of excitement, but that wasn't what I needed. I can't think of a better way to spend a week than in my favorite town with my favorite people. I was mostly my mom's shadow all week. I loved being her tag-along while she ran her errands and did her thing all week. I actually enjoy grocery shopping when I get to go with her. Going home kind of makes me feel like I have stepped back into my childhood. I absolutely love getting to take a break from being a responsible adult for a little while and let someone else handle that. I really am just a kid pretending to be an adult most of the time. When I'm home I get to stop pretending for a minute. My week wasn't anything new and thrilling, but it was absolutely perfect. It mostly consisted of: sleeping in, running every morning, errands with Mom, dinner with Dad, a dentist appointment, getting one last immunization (complete with bugs bunny band aid), baking delicious 7-layer bars, making homemade pizza for dinner, registering to vote, being jealous of Lexi's fun extracurricular activities that I miss doing so much (BPA, Tennis, Clogging, etc), frozen yogurt with Mom and Mitch, visiting with my grandparents, taco salad burritos with Dad, trying to make my puppy my running buddy (he's not so good at it yet), enduring a lot of country music, movie watching, hot tub with Dad, un poco shopping, and a whole lot of just hanging out doing nothing. I'm a pretty happy kid. I'm not excited to get back to real life, but luckily I kind of love my SVU life right now. I'm excited for the lovely Virginia weather and to see my wonderful friends again. It's going to be a long day getting home, but it was so worth it to spend this week in the funny little town of Burley, Idaho.
