Spring Break Favorites

March 16, 2015

My favorite things about this spring break: 

~ sleeping in my own bed
~ cuddling with my dog + cat
~ Sunday Mass at my home parish
~ lunch at my favorite restaurant
~ enjoying the late-winter / early-spring temperatures + sunshine
~ the feeling of spring being on its way
~ sitting in on my favorite class from high school
~ staying for lunch + recess at my high school
~ helping out at rehearsal for my high school’s upcoming play
~ spending time at my grandparents’ house
~ dinner + fun games with good friends
~ coffee + shopping with my grandma
~ driving my car
~ avoiding homework
~ brunch + catching up with my best friend of 10 years
~ coffee with two close high school friends who were also home on spring break
~ playing Dutch Blitz with my family
~ discovering a new favorite drink at Starbucks: a vanilla chai tea latte
~ an evening of tea, popcorn, + laughter with friends
~ Friday fish fry at my home parish
~ one of my grandma’s delicious home-cooked feasts

It was a wonderful spring break. It didn’t seem too short like most breaks do ~ instead it went by at a nice, relaxing rate. I got to do a lot of hanging out with friends and family + experiencing the things that I love and miss the most from home. I feel ready to go back to school and hit the books, see my friends, and soak up some Florida sunshine.

And guess what? I’ll be home again in less than 3 weeks for Easter. See ya again soon, Michigan!

God bless,
~Stephanie

I have soo much love for JP2. He was the pope of my childhood - the first papa from as far back as I can remember.

I love so many of his other writings too, and gosh I just love him in general.
