# Thirty-2 Spring Cleaning

It was so nice out yesterday! Karlee, Margaret, and I went out and got frozen custard! It was yummy! After that we picked up some brats and made a bonfire over at Karlee's place! We just chilled and listened to music and cooked our brats over the fire! It was nice and relaxing. Later when Steven got out of rehearsal he came over and brought stuff to make s'mores. He got cookies and cream chocolate bars to go on them along with the original chocolate bars. He also brought over strawberry and vanilla and cinnamon flavored marshmallows! These were not your average s'mores and they were fantastic! We had an AWESOME time!

Today was rainy and gloomy! I decided I had to do some spring cleaning! I organized my closet today and brought out my sundress! I am happy that it is starting to get warm enough again to wear sundresses! I also made a little contraption out of a piece of jean material to hold all of my earrings! It is nice to be able to see all of them! So yeah...very productive day! Tomorrow is the Earth Day festival! They close off a few streets in downtown Columbia for the festival. There are bands that play, food, and people selling homemade things (like jewelry)
They are also giving away free trees! Karlee, Steve, Margaret, and I plan on checking that out tomorrow! I hope it doesn't rain!

It has been so nice out lately! Today is beautiful and yesterday was too! Since it was so nice Margaret, Karlee, and I decided to have a girls day out adventure! We went to Pinnacle Youth Park again, since Margaret has never been there! It was so much fun! We found the most beautiful meadow with wild violets and bluebells! It was so great! After exploring the park for 3 hours we were pretty hungry so we went out for some Chinese food! It was a splendid day! We plan on hanging outside some more today! I am glad I have Karlee and Margaret here with me! They like to do the same stuff I like to do! It is the best! :) Enjoy the weather!

I was able to make it home for Easter this past weekend. Karlee and I rode home together! We had the Easter get together at my house this year! Everyone came over around 1pm and didn't leave until about 9pm! My family sure does know how to party! It was really fun though! It was nice getting to see my cousin Kelsey...she was in town from Philadelphia where she figure skates. We all had a really good time! We ate a lot of candy and chocolate and had a lot of laughs! I love my family! In the picture, from left to right...my sister Laura, my cousins Kelsey and Karlee, me, and my cousin Natalie.


Well I am back in Columbia now...just four more weeks of school left and then summer is here! I can't wait! I found out that both of my finals are on Monday, May 11th...so I will be finished with school by May 12th...my 21st birthday! YAY! I am happy about that! Well I have to go and get a few things finished before I got to bed! I hope everyone had a beautiful Easter weekend too!

I just finished a 6 page rough draft of my paper for my Normal Language Development class. I am so glad that I got that out of the way. I was super worried and totally stressing out over getting it finished in time. School is going well, I am ready for summer though. I just recently find out that I am only taking two finals during finals week and they are both on Monday May 11th! This means that I will be finished with school in time to celebrate my 21st birthday! Almost there...only a few more weeks!

I had a WONDERFUL spring break! I missed Steven a little, he was in Florida all week. It was still really nice to be at home for an entire week and visit with my family! During my spring break I got the chance to go to work with my mom and job shadow the Speech Pathologist there, since that is what I plan to go to graduate school for. It was fun! I am glad I had the opportunity! I was also able to spend time with my friend Gina who I hardly ever get to see! It was nice.

The weekend I came home Twilight came out on DVD, so of course I had to buy it. I bought the three disc set that had many hours of special bonus features! We watched all of it! We got to sit down in our basement. It is all different now, my mom bought new carpet and had it installed before I got home on Friday! We rearranged it and there is a lot more room now! It was great! :)

I also went to the Magic House with my mom, aunt, sister and my two little cousins. It was so much fun! I haven't been there in a long time! It brought back so many memories from when I was little! There were many new additions as well that were very cool! It was a blast!

I am back in Columbia now, but Easter is coming up soon so I will be going home for that! Just 7 weeks left in the Semester! I can't believe it! Summer is almost here! Hope everyone is having a Happy Spring! Ciao!

15 random things about myself...

1. I absolutely hate the sound of a fire alarm or tornado siren.

2. I prefer my coffee a little strong, with a bit of skim milk.

3. I want to go to Europe at some point in my life. Italy would be great since I am taking Italian.

4. I love writing letters and sending them through the mail. It's more special that way. I have been trying to do this more often.

5. I have recently discovered my love for random musical instruments, such as the cello or the oboe. I appreciate them more.

6. At the moment I am reading a book called, "The Memoirs of Jane Austen". I just adore Jane Austen novels.

7. I absolutely love, love, love...Edward Cullen, or maybe I love Rob Pattinson. It is hard to tell sometimes.

8. When I am in a restaurant and asked if I would like to sit at a booth or a table, I will most likely answer, "booth please".

9. I unfortunately lack artistic ability when it comes to drawing or painting. I love to watch people draw and paint though. I also love admiring their finished works of art.

10. I prefer to write with mechanical pencils that have .7 mm led.

11. I am curious to know what it is like to put in and wear contacts. I am not sure if I would like it or not, probably not...just curious.

12. I love root beer floats.

13. I am allergic to soy milk.

14. I sometimes enjoy doing an intense amount of homework.

15. I like to be outside right before a thunder storm.

The weather has been amazing here in Missouri! We experienced many different parks here in Columbia. On Thursday Karlee (my cousin), Steven, and I all went to a park called Pinnacle Youth Park...and we climbed these huge rock bluffs! It was quite an adventure! On Friday, right after classes let out, we went to Stephen's Lake Park. There is one pavilion that has a fire pit that anyone can use on a first come, first serve basis! The night before we bought some hot dogs, a watermelon, marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers! We made it to the park just in time to get the fire pit! Karlee, my roommate Margaret, and I all worked to start a fire! Then we gathered some sticks and carved the ends to make skewers to cook our hot dogs and marshmallows on! We brought a Frisbee and a ball to play with and Karlee's dog, Punch came too! Steven came a little later and brought a few of his friends with him! We all had a really good time! It was so much fun! I am loving this warm weather!
