Spring Has Sprung:-)

Hello everyone!:-)
I am back here in Wales after a terrific holiday away from here for a few weeks and a very nice break with family and friends.
It started with my parents here and staying in my little town of Monmouth for a few days while I finished up with school. Then we went to Bath and stayed right in the heart of Bath which was a treat because it was walking distance to everything possible. We stayed in Bath on Saturday and then Sunday we left for Cornwall but stopped at Stonehenge (sp?) for a bit and then made our way to Uncle Hank and Aunt Shirley! They were very nice and alot of fun to stay with--I think I learned more from Uncle Hank in those few days than I did in my years of school. I felt smarter leaving there:-)
They took us everywhere in Cornwall and it was beautiful and my mom has many pictures to show you everything we saw. Then we went to London for the remainder of the trip (Tues-Sat). My dad is a history buff so we saw EVERYTHING there was to see and did all the audio tours and I learned more from that trip also so between the tours and Uncle Hank, I am smarter than I was in March!
Then on April 4th, my parents and I made our way back to America! We went on separate flights which I wasn't thrilled about but we all made it back there and were able to spend another week together:-) At home, I was able to see everyone that I wasn't able to see during my time home in December and it was a very much needed trip. It was very fun and relaxing and it came at the perfect time.
I was able to go out with my friends and I saw different people everyday and every night, went to lunch with family, hung out with friends at night, enjoyed home-cooked meals and then the best of all on my last day I got to spend Easter with my fantastic family:-) It was a great break/vacation and now I am back and we have our faculty day tomorrow and then school starts back up on Monday. Apparently this summer term is the quickest because it's warmer and we are outside all the time so I'm looking forward to it.
And in about 5 weeks, I will be meeting Christine and Lisa in Malaga, Spain which is so crazy that it's only 5 weeks away!! I cannot wait for that and will tell you all about it:-)

I will update again but for now, I miss you and I love you all and I am so happy that I was able to see everyone while I was home:-) And if I didn't see you, I will be back in July for good!

Love,
DP
