Spring Break in Arizona

It has been awhile since I've written,

but for one obvious reason... Spring Break!

Instead of the usual college spring break with all of my crazy friends,

we chose the family route and jumped on a flight to follow the sun!

We had our minds previously set on following the snow, but by the time decision making happened, our hearts couldn't help dreaming of 90 degree weather.

Goodbye rain!

We headed to Phoenix to stay with friends for the first half of the week.

There is truly nothing that feels as great, inside and out, as when you step off of an airplane and get hit in the face with a heat wave.

Friends we stayed with had a pool and sandy beach in the complex!


The first couple of days we simply took advantage and did nothing.
Vodka was flowing and the temps hit the upper 80's.
We also took a trip down the block to have our first In n' Out. I must say I have strong burger opinions, living only 5 minutes from Dicks, but sadly enough I couldn't fully enjoy my cheeseburger because of a hangover =/. That is still something college has failed to teach me.

Also in store for our 'firsts' was a Mariners spring training game in Peoria.

What more could you ask for then baseball, sun, and beers?

Half way through the week we made our way down to Tucson to stay with the Grandparents in Saddlebrooke. They live in a golf community of over 5,000 homes on 27 holes.

My golfing heaven <3

St. Patty's day Dinner and also another 'first' of cornbeef and cabbage (Actually loved it!)

I also have to share my super-find from a second hand store my grandma took us to

Oscar De La Renta travel bags for $2.00 each!

After Tucson we made it back up to Phoenix to watch my litte cousin play baseball of the League of Dreams fields. Each field is actually a mini replica of different major league fields. We also visited a friend in Scottsdale and shopped around the area before we flew home.

A satisfying discovery in Scottsdale that my friend Katherine had once blogged about.
Mini Creme Brulee in a to-go cup! My all time favorite.

"Last year I went to Seattle to shoot a commercial spot with the Deadliest Catch Captains. Seattle is one of my favorite spots in the U.S.A. - so I booked a few extra days and drove around the area shooting B-Roll for a few days. " - Joel E.

The love of a weekend

It's easy to say that the world-wide love for the weekend is powerful and endless.

It's wild to think of all of the things that are universally loved.

The weekend is in my top 5.

This one was particularly unproductive and somewhat uneventful, but it felt perfect as always.

It included a feast of greasy food at the Coug with my roommates. 

Beer and food bonding is always needed and should happen more often.

While we were there I couldn't help my urge to mark out spot.

Friday and Saturday continued on with the usually nightly outings, seeing friends outside of class for once, and the never-ending urges to eat-out for every meal.

Today I wrapped up my lazy weekend with multiple movies while lying in bed, 

including the Lion King.

I have also been working on a new Drypoint that I will hopefully get to print tomorrow..

P.S... My mom just sent me this with the caption "Always a cowgirl"

Oh what I would give to be a kid again

Should have been a snow day

Starting on sunday, Pullman was advised for a winter storm warning into monday night.

Come monday night the snow was falling thicker then I have ever seen it.

On our way to the coug for a burger

The snow was so light that it was piling on the trees and power lines with no problem.

The trees had become so packed with fluffy white snow that they were drooping just above your head.

We had a little excitement outside of pink house when the power lines started sparking.

The fire department roped off the street through the night.

Mollies car was also dangerously close to getting hit in the parking lot. A trailblazer was sliding down the lip of our parking spots. We gathered a number of people to help push the car.

As the snow fell through the night Pullman looked truly magical.

In the morning very large branches were scattered across the streets and crushing a few cars from breaking off over night.

Crossing my fingers that it will come back!
