The broke spring break!

A funny picture I came across though Facebook

This spring break I didn't travel anywhere, so I sat back and watched the pictures of my friends that travel flood in through Facebook. However, I can’t complain too much this year because the reason I couldn’t travel is because I recently bought a brand new car. Honestly, I am glad I bought the car because my previous car was always breaking down. I was never able to hang out with friends because I was scared I would get stuck on the freeway. Luckily the week before spring break I bought the new car. Unfortunately, the week of spring break I got sick. Needless to say, this wasn’t exactly the best spring break I’ve ever had. For the majority of my spring break I laid in bed feeling ill. If I felt a little better, I colored inside of my adult coloring book. I know that sounds pathetic but then again I was sick and I did not have money this spring break, so I had to deal with it.

If anything I would say the highlight of my spring break definitely has to be attending my friend’s wedding. The wedding happened the day spring break started and before I got sick. I met the couple while on a mission trip and we all became great friends after that. And this was the year they got married. I was very excited for them and even though it wasn’t my wedding I counted down the days because I was so excited! When the wedding finally came which was during spring break, I was eager to dance and have a great time. The wedding ended up being one of the best weddings I had ever been to. I laughed, I cried, and I danced more than I have ever danced before. I knew I would because the rest of the group from the mission trip was also invited.

Life is funny that way. Before the mission trip I feel like I had little to no friends. After the trip I came back with 20 solid friendships. I am so grateful to have these amazing people in my life. Sometimes people come into your life that are more encouraging and supportive than family is. That is what these people have become to me, my second family. I knew that the wedding would be a blast with them there because they make everything a blast! We danced to 80’s music until they kicked us out. We took more pictures than all of the professional photographers there, we ate to our hearts content. And most importantly we were able to be a part of our two friends very special day. They were so in love, watching them say their vows to each other was beyond beautiful. Although I was sick and I didn’t get to travel to LA or anywhere else for that matter, I was able to buy a new car, and more importantly I was able to spend time with some of the best people on Earth.
