sb2k13.

It's been weeks, but I feel like I just need this right now. It's getting down to the wire here in college town. It's the time and place of the semester where everyone's response to the question of "how are you?" is BUSY. TIRED. OVERWHELMED. TOO MUCH TO DO.

It's true for me too. So, I'm just going to take a moment to think back to the middle of March to get me through the rest of April. I need to remember the sunshine, the freedom, the laughter, and the ice cream. Oh, the ice cream.

So, yes, the summary of my Spring Break includes butter beer at Harry Potter World, the best bible studies, hunting for gators in our pond, playing games, eating granola, people watching in the middle of nowhere Florida, running club, interval workouts led by Annie, and so much more...these are my top three moments of the whole week...these are the ones that are keeping me sane.

1. Dancing with Kylie at the Villages Retirement Community (if you haven't heard of this place, look it up) I don't think there's anything more joyful in the world than dancing with a child.




2. Splash Zone at Sea World with these three friends. Just like Bob Goff says, sometimes you have to sit in the splash zone of life, it might be messy, but it will be worth it. And it was.



3. Dream Day. This was my third official one and it was just as great as the other two before it. It was the perfect end to our time at YL Southwind, full of water slides, sunsets, dance parties, ice cream, nail painting, rocking chairs, and the swing. And of course, a bonfire on the beach. Too good to be true.



Here's some more pictures that I just wish I could dive into and go back to these moments in time. Cheers.
