As I sit here watching How I Met Your Mother, I come to a saddening realization; spring break is almost over. =( In a little less than two days, I'll be forced to pack up and go back to school to finish up the rest of spring semester. Oh how I can't wait 'til summer! Spring break was just a too short taste of what awaits me this summer. The stress of school will be done with and all I'll have to worry about is work and finding time for my friends and Aaron. Until then, I'll just have to reminisce spring break.
The first few days of my spring break were spent with Aaron at his parent's house in Madison County. On our rainy Sunday, we had lunch with Aaron's Dad and stepmother and dinner with his mom, great aunt, uncle, and his cousin and her husband and kids. It was so great to be able to catch up with all of them! On Monday, we ventured into Charlottesville to spend the day together. We had lunch at Jimmy John's, saw the movie Take Me Home Tonight, hit up Smoothie King, then ate dinner at The Hibachi Grill. After our adventures day, we relaxed and enjoyed some quiet time with each other. Overall, it was a great day. =) On Tuesday, we had lunch at McDonald's and then said good bye. Though Aaron and I have been dating for almost five years, the good bye's don't get any easier and the time between visits doesn't go any faster.
On Wednesday of spring break, I had my first ever root canal. It wasn't horrible. I was sore for the rest of the day after it, but it wasn't unbearable. Thursday I took my dog to the vet for my parents and today I had lunch with my best friend from High School. Hopefully the last few days of my break will be as good as the beginning few.
I know that I've only written about the good parts of my spring break, but there was a not so good part to it. On Monday, Aaron and I visited his great grandmother in the hospital. Later that night. she passed away. She was 99 years old! Though I only met her a few times and she didn't know me when she saw me, I'm glad I had the chance to meet her. I know she will be missed by all who knew her, but from what I've heard about her, I know she's in heaven and I look forward to meeting her someday. =)
This brings me to the title of this post. Today, a 8.9 magnitude earthquake devastated the country of Japan. I have family in Japan and thankfully, they are okay. At 11:11 everyday, two times a day, I make a wish. It probably sounds really stupid, but I do it anyways. Today, my wish is that everyone will send up thoughts and prayers for our brothers and sisters in Japan. They really do need our emotional support in this rough time, so please pray for Japan! Even the smallest prayers can make a difference! =)
