Updates...

So, life has been a little crazy recently! I have had a lot going on, but fortunately it has all been good things! First of all, my family (Aunt Sarah, Aunt Nicky, & Grandma J) & I all went to Italy last week :) We stayed in a town called Montegrotto Terme, it was forty minutes from Venice & Verona & only ten from Padua! It was an absolutely fabulous trip - one that I have been wanting to take ever since I was fourteen and read City of Masks by Mary Hoffman (yeahhh, I know, real cool). The only part that wasn't absolutely amazing was that my Mom didn't get to come with, but next time she will! There was way too much to talk about in only one post, so I'll do one for each trip (with pictures). Needless to say, it was awesome.

This weekend there is a lot going on here too! I have to complete my dance team tryout video by tomorrow (if I can get the studio, ugh). Today I was supposed to go in at four and finish up taping, but unfortunately I thought it was five so I missed my appointment & now have to wake up at 8:30 to call the events office & try to book it for nine... yay! Oh well. I am super stressed out about this tape & have had numerous nightmares, but hopefully it will go well. & if I don't make it, I will survive. I think.

Easter is coming up too! I am headed to go stay with my Grandma for Easter, which is nice and I am pretty happy about that. I am also attending a church near her house on Easter Sunday, which I am super thrilled about, but she refuses to attend with me so it will be a lone venture... I'm a bit distraught that I won't be home for Easter & will miss out on Mom's super cool annual Easter egg hunt, but what can you do? My loverly Aunt Ruthie Ruth got me a tasty chocolate egg from Marks and Spencers, but as a result of the lack of air conditioning/giant window combination going on in my room... It melted. Here is a picture, I know you care.

Poor chap.
