catch up!

why, hello readers!! it's been a while, {well, actually a week} since i last posted. however, it's spring break(!!) and i have not neglected to write. :) from friday the 7th, until yesterday the 11th, i was in washington d.c. and since i was on vacation, i thought it would be a great idea to make a video of my trip, so i am currently editing it and wrapping it all together so it will be displayed here on my blog. :) more about that when i post the video! 

i got in at 8 last night and it was nice, because it was a direct flight to and from d.c. the only problem? i had a migraine and you believe me, you definitely do not want a migraine on a plane... however, one of the flight attendants suffers from migraines too and she was delightful. :) she gave me ice for my head and a nice, cold, towel to put around my neck. 

my daddie picked my momma and me up with the puppies and i was very happy to see them. it was a great trip, but i missed my fam. {my brother is also home for spring break, but didn't come along} i felt a little miserable coming home in the car, but i rose above it. my mom asked my dad if he had gotten the mail while we were gone and he said no, so we stopped by the mailbox. all i wanted to do was to get home, cuddle up, watch monday night's himym {how i met your mother} and pretty little liars from two hours before. i brought my blankets and pillows downstairs to my parents' room and got situated like i do whenever i have a migraine. i walked back upstairs because i forgot something and came back down seeing my mom with wide eyes and a huge smile. what was it that she was so happy about? i got into my top school: the university of arizona! i was so happy, i could melt, as i put it. {and elphaba} that automatically made me feel so much better, and it was such a warm gift to come home to. :)

as for lent!! i meant to post this on sunday, buuuuut i met up with my longtime friend andie, her mother, and her grandmother. :) {again, more about that when i post the video} giving up twitter is very easy once you go without it for--i want to say three?-- days? i've given up twitter before, so it is pretty simple. however, i did want to tweet last night “#UniversityofAZ2018”. guess it'll have to wait!! as for soda, it is pretty hard. i haven't had soda in a couple of weeks {i started before lent} and it's kind of amazing how much i think i need it sometimes. my mom did make me want diet pepsi as she got it a couple of times, but i got some lemonade instead. yesterday night on the plane was super hard. after i had just thrown up {yay! migraines!!} the sweet flight attendant, came up to me and my mom and asked if i wanted anything to drink. i was not thirsty or not in the mood to eat anything at all, but when she listed gingerale and sprite, i said i would have a water. 33 days to go!! 

i'll be working on this video and unpacking, but until i upload!!
