Spring Break

This is the first year that I was unable to go home for spring break. Instead, my sister Angie and her husband Jordan came to Austin to visit us! We had so much fun together. I really miss having my sisters around all the time, but I guess it makes the time we do get together that much more special. We did everything from going to a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse, walking around Town Lake, stuffing our faces with Salt Lick BBQ, going to the outlet mall in San Marcos, and even doing some sealings in the San Antonio Temple. It was a wonderful trip and I miss them already.

One night when Angie and I were running some pizza boxes to the trash, she said "You're so lucky that you get to live all these places and experience things that most people don't get to do." This really struck me and I had to think, yeah, I am pretty lucky. Sometimes I get so bogged down in wanting to be done with school, moving home, wanting things that I can't have, that I forget to live in the present and be so grateful for the opportunities that I have. Not many people have had the experiences that I have and it was nice to have a reminder of how lucky I truly am.

I didn't take a single picture while they were here, Bryce actually took some but I haven't seen them yet, so as soon as I do, I will post away. I did make some pretty amazing cupcakes though that I will post pictures of soon. Here's hoping that this Spring Break was the rest I needed to get me through the rest of this semester!
