Spring

So I get to work and the first thing I see is an e-mail from my mother informing me that I need to post on here. I guess I just got busy and lost track of time. I went home over Easter and had a great time. It was nice and relaxing. Getting out of the city for a time gave me the break I needed. I got back here last Wednesday morning with the plan of working. Well I had gotten up at 3am to catch my flight out of Moline (which was the first of the day at 5:30) and was only able to sleep for about a half hour on my first flight. By noon I was so tired I couldn't remember what I was supposed to be working on and so by 1pm I went home and slept. That evening I went out to dinner with Corey and his folks since they were visiting. It was nice to see them. Since last week was Spring Break for DCPS I didn't see my students at all and worked in the office on Thursday and Friday. I am happy to say that I got a lot done.

Since Friday the weather here has gone from chilly end of winter to summer. Tomorrow the high is expected to reach 90! It is strange that I had to wear a jacket everywhere last week but now I am wandering around in a sundress. Sunday evening, because the weather was so great, I decided to hang out on our back patio. We had talked about building a fire pit by digging out some of the bricks so I decided to see if that was even possible. Turns out it was very simple and within 45 minutes I had pulled out the bricks and dug a hole. Last night we started out first fire and enjoyed the evening, hanging out around the fire.

 

 

Next time we will make sure to have some marshmallows!
