My freshman year, I went to California with my wonderful roommates Stefani and Tara. We packed my car, and took off. We had a blast and I simply love these two even more because they put up with me! We threw caution to the wind, met some marines, walked on the beach and shopped like crazy. That was my very first college Spring Break and I absolutely fell in love with the week of bliss away from school.

Last year, I went on a cruise with my roommate Tara (Stefani went off and got married..who does that? :P ) But first, we stopped in *Vegas*. It was Tara's first time in Sin City and I loved showing her around! Then it was off to California to get on a boat and head to Mexico. That was the Spring Break to never be beat. It was mine and Tara's last hurrah before she was to move to Heber, then to the MTC, then to Ukraine and leave for 18 long months. We made the most of it tho!

This year, Spring Break 2012, was a tad bit different for a few reasons...
1) Tara is on a mission
2) I'm engaged to Zach
3) I'm going on a honeymoon in 3 months, so we gotta save our $$$
4) Zach had to work to pay for that honeymoon, and I had to teach my students
(I believe they call that...responsibility)
So there ya have it, what do two college students who have little to no money and a whopping 4 days off do?
Well, besides sleeping in, eating everything, watching the Bachelor finale, drinking our weight in Mt. Dew, doing homework, hanging out with Preston and his family, playing wiffle ball in the backyard, 4 wheeling with Dunker, taking naps, planning the wedding, reading the Hunger Games on my dad's kindle (Which I renamed the kindle, 'Kimball' ) and seeing the Lorax, we decided to take a little road trip to Bryce Canyon. I had never been there, and frankly I hate the great outdoors, but Zach and I have never gone hiking together, so we set out Tuesday morning for the adventure! And an adventure it was.
I learned a few things out there:
a) Zach is the most patient person in the world
b) I'm not always right, but I usually am...but not always
c) running shoes aren't the same as hiking shoes
d) Asian tourists love to take pictures
e) I have a creative imagination when it comes to rock formations (the Indian and the owl)
Right before our 2.5 mile hike
Found these cool hallways in the rocks.

We made the most of our Spring Break and only have 7 more weeks of school until we get to embrace summer. I am so blessed to have such an incredible fiancé who loves everything about me. I don't know how I got so lucky! He is just the best person I know. He's there for me when I don't want to hike anymore, when I get upset, or angry, and he supports me no matter what. Through the thick and thin. Team Card forever!
