Spring Break!

Being a teacher some some great benefits. Teaching kids and having an impact on their lives, plus the vacation. Last week was my spring break. It is so nice to get paid to have a week off. I was able to spend some time with friends, eat lunch/dinner with several different friends, work on stuff around the house, spend some relaxed time with my hubby, relax, and visit home to see family, friends and go to a friend's wedding.

While we were home we didn't get a lot of time to spend with family but we got a chance to go out to eat with each family. We went to each families favorite place. My parents and us went to this little French bistro restaurant on the water. It is a really cute little restaurant and everyone ones my parents there since they go so often. We went with Josh's parents to the local Chiese restaurant. I am not sure if this this their favorite or it is Josh's favorite that he always makes everyone go to. ;o) We also helped my parents pick out some stuff for their kitchen. They are remodeling their house so it is all torn apart. It was so fun going to the different stores and lots to pick out granite and tile and such. Josh said he has the designing bug now. He can't wait until we have the chance and money (of course) to do that to a house we own. Josh spoke at our home church in Niceville about the mission on Sunday. Overall we had a great time for our rushed visit.

Jeff (Conan) and Gail's Wedding
Jeff has been a great friend of Josh's for many years. Jeff, or Conan as we all know him, actually got his nickname because of Josh. Jeff is such a great guy. I have know him for about 7 years now. We met Gail when we visited around Halloween. Mark's father married them in his church, well the church that he preaches at in Niceville. It was a really nice wedding not too long but a message everyone can gain something from who is married or thinking of getting married. Even Josh thought the wedding was enjoyable.





After the wedding we all headed to the local Veteran's lounge for the reception. They had reserved a room for the reception. They had a live band, which was good but WAY too loud. Gail's dad played sax (Which is my fav. instrument!) with the band. It was a lot of fun and it was great getting to see a lot of our friends we haven't seen in a while.
