Spring Break...

Yes, it's true that I am 26 and I still get a spring break. It felt weird to have a break when I had only been back in Chicago for about a month but I wasn't complaining. For the first few days I stayed in Chicago and did some work around here. The weather was beautiful and I love this city when the weather is nice because you can go to the lake and eat outside at restaurants. Then on Wednesday night I flew to Colorado for the last few days of break. And nothing is more refreshing for me than some time in Colorado. Ev, my dad, and I spent Thursday skiing and then stayed at the Everitt's condo. Then Friday that plan was for my dad and I to ski again and then head home. But on our first run I had a little fall that ended up cranking my leg around in an unnatural sort of way that really hurt. So it became clear that I couldn't ski on it and I ended up having to get ski patrol to take me down. It was a little embarrassing but necessary. Now I know what it's like to ride in one of those sleds! Here are some pics of the ordeal thanks to my dad, yes he took pictures while I tried to get loaded in the sled!
















So in the end it looks like all that I did was sprain my knee, nothing that won't heal in a week or so. But it is so annoying to try to walk or get into cars or go up stairs.








But don't you worry, the weekend was still really great. Friday night we had everyone at our house for dad's birthday dinner (notice the curly candles on the grown man's cake...so classy!) Happy Birthday Dad!

I spent a good deal of my time watching march madness with Tate and Soph and checking my brackets. So far I'm holding on but I could have guessed a little better, oh well there is always next year. Besides the knee incident, spring break was truly a break and for that I'm really grateful! But now it's time for bed because I got up at 3:30am today and I'm starting to get loopy...talk to ya later
