Spring time at last!

I know I haven't written anything for several weeks....that was my bad entirely. I have been focusing a lot on school and last weekend I was home for my sisters confirmation!  But now that I have time to write an entry...there is a lot to say!

Last week my brother Josh came and visited me up here in Grand Forks.  He stayed for about 4 days and then the both of us flew home to California last weekend. While he was here, the weather wasn't the greatest. It was snowing one of the days and then in the 30's the remainder of the week, so unfortunately we weren't able to do much outdoors.  However, we still had a blast playing games in my dorm and Josh went to a few classes with me. He thought it was so cool how he could text in class and not get in trouble (not that I do :P) and even leave early if we wanted.  It was completely new to him and I could tell he was having a great time.  On Thursday, the day before we went home, I took Josh to a Styx concert. I mostly got the tickets so that I could go see them but I figured Josh would have a great time too! (Which he did)  This was the first concert I have ever been to and I definitely think it was a great first concert to attend.

Josh and I left Friday morning, arriving in California about 3 in the afternoon that day.  I had a great time while I was home but unfortunately didn't get to see all the people I wanted to. I knew that I was coming home two and a half weeks later for summer so it wasn't that big of a deal.  Also while I was home, I had my first meeting for Us In The Son this summer. We found out what color we would be this summer and I was fortunate enough to hear that I would be a Green counselor again! That just made me even more excited to come home in two weeks so I can get started with another amazing summer.

I have finally just about finished my flying for the semester! I only have my stage check left and then a few simulator lessons and I'm done!  I was able to get some decent weather to go out and fly and get my 3 solo flights done! I took a couple cool pictures of what it looks like in the air (it's pretty hard to do when there is an instructor next to you).


And now comes this last week, each day progressively getting warmer and warmer, leading into today where the high temperature will be 70 degrees! All of us up here in ND have been waiting for a beautiful day like this since October and I think we can finally call it Spring.  Last night my roommates and I went out to dinner and sat out on the patio! I'm happy that the weather is finally getting better but I'm also upset that it took so long to get like this. We are finally getting good weather and I have 2 weeks till I come home. So, while it is amazing, I won't be in it for very long.

I will make sure to have a couple more entries before summer rolls around. Almost done with my freshman year of college!
