So spring break is coming to a close...or what I like to call spring break is ending. I no longer get an actual spring break, but rather the time I took off during Jason's spring break is ending. It was actually a very eventful break...
We started by making a trip up to IA to see the family for Easter. It was a long 22 hours in the car (that's counting there and back) with the dogs, but everyone survived. The weather in IA was nice, 50s/60s and we were able to get outside, go fishing, try out the new remote-controlled boat on the pond, etc. Blue especially enjoyed the pond and took his turn at chasing the boat, geese and a bobber or two (hooks attached, thankfully none attached to him). Maizie enjoyed running around the pond and barking when Blue did, but she did not try her luck at swimming this trip. We were able to spend some time with my nieces as well (maybe I can get Jason to insert some pictures) taking in horseback riding lessons and softball practices. They loved the dogs and requested to go on multiple 'walks' with them.
Once back home we dove into house projects; re-painting areas that needed it, replacing light fixtures, patching holes in the ceiling that the builder decided to just leave and cover up with fluorescent lights, finishing woodworking projects, gardening... we got a lot done and it's nice to be able to cross some of those things off the to-do list.
Other than that, no news to tell...back to the swing of things next week. Jason just has a few more weeks of work-school left and a couple months of grad-school so we'll be counting down!! He has decided to walk in May, even though they don't graduate until August so if anyone wants to road trip up to cheer him on feel free! :)
