Wow

Wow, it has been a really long time since I have blogged and I have no idea where the time has gone. I have been extremely busy the last few weeks with projects and tests. I have also been having some computer issues too. So I will give you a quick re-cap of my last few weeks!

I spent spring break with my brother and his friend in Minnesota at our family cabin. We planned on snowmobiling for the whole week but the weather took a turn and warmed up to 50 degress. This warm weather caused all the snow to melt and so we were unable to ride. Instead of hanging around the lake we headed to Duluth, Minnesota to hang out and do some fun stuff. We started off by going to the Great Lakes Aquarium and then went to the University of Minnesota at Duluth for a college tour. We spent the night and went shopping the next day and also checked out some of the shoreline of Lake Superior.

After spring break things began to get a little crazy. I have been busy working at the daycare and at my internship at Variety. When I am not working I find myself at school or in group meetings getting things prepared for final projects. I don't know where all the time has gone and I can't believe that April is basically here. My graduation is fast approaching. EEK!

I promise I will be better about blogging on a regular basis and keep my posts up to date!

Weekend!

So I can't believe how fast this past weekend went.  I guess part of the reason why it flew by was because I was so busy.  

Friday night I went out to dinner with my friend Adam and a few other friends.  We went to The Des Moines Club which is at the top of the Ruan building in downtown Des Moines.  For dinner I had Lobster Bisque, A Filet and amazing Cheesecake for dessert!  The night was great and I had a lot of fun!

On Saturday I spent the day babysitting my 3 favorite little girls.  The girls are 8, 4, and 3.  I have known them and been babysitting for them since the oldest girl was 2.  It has been so great watching them grow up and being a part of their lives.  Saturday night, I went to Panora, Iowa with my Public Relations capstone agency.  We went to Panora to just get away and enjoy some time off campus.  We ate a lot of amazing food and did a little work on our campaign as well.  It was really nice to hang out and get away.

On Sunday we came back from Panora and I ended up working on a lot of homework during the afternoon.  On Sunday night I went to dinner with some of my besties.  Amanda, Mallory and I went out to dinner at On The Border and had tacos and margaritas!  We had a ton of fun! Unfortunately the 4th member of our group could not make it because she was sick.  But we missed her a lot!

Here are some pictures from this weekend!
