Spring break is where it's at!

Hi All!

So I'm on my spring break and I'm ready for a spring break from my spring break. ;) It's been a lot of fun. My parents flew in last Sunday morning at 6:30 and I picked them up from the airport. Then we went to church right afterwards and then to a social with people from Luther College. It was a lot of fun! I got a hug from the president of Luther and caught up with some old friends while there. They also met my friend Tom while we made burgers and just about caught them all on fire. We had a good time playing Taboo and spoons.

Monday dad decided he needed to do some homework for nursing school so mom and I went out and looked at some quilt shops. Mom loves to quilt so I helped her find them but didn't find the fabric that she was quite looking for. It was still fun to go with mom and check out Phoenix. We also watched Rudy that night I think and went to bed kind of early since mom and dad were a little sleepy.

Tuesday was a day that we slept in a bit and then went to my school. I showed them all around and dad took a bunch of pictures. Then I showed them the other school I'm at part of the time and we also went to Westgate, right next to cardinal stadium. We went to coldstone and had some yummy icecream. Next we went to Tempe Towne Lake which was just beautiful and walked around. We were going to go down Mill Ave but dad had a headache so we went to go have supper in Mesa. Organ Stop Pizza was the location. It was hilarious. This organ comes popping up from the floor and the guy plays anything from Phantom of the Opera to the Rocky Theme song. I personally thought the Titanic song was a little bit dumb. The organ was a Wurlitzer which is one of 14 in the country. I think you can check it out at www.organstoppizza.com I'll have to double check the website to make sure. Anyway...it was fun to see and lights lit up all around as the flag came down from the ceiling for God Bless America.

Wednesday was a morning of car repair. The check engine light had come on yesterday so we went to go get it checked out. We went to this small place and they said it was something to do with the axel bearings. So I got a new axel bearing and rotated tires and am running smoothly again. Thank goodness! Then we headed out to Scottsdale and checked out Scottsdale Fashion Square. I've been told that you have to put your nose up in the air to walk around in there. We looked at the cute puppies at the store there and then had some coffee. We decided it was about time for supper and headed out to Desert Ridge Marketplace and ate at Rockbottom. I had some kind of sangria with peach stuff in it. It was pretty good. Mom and dad actually had some kind of drink with coffee and other stuff. We walked around and dad took more pictures of the fountain and stuff. A beautiful mall area. We headed home and looked up places where I can take a class for secondary music this summer. I think I might be in Minnesota this summer for a few weeks to take something. Whatever works. It's been a great spring break so far and I'm looking forward to a slumber party with Julia and Deb this weekend in Casa Grande. :)
