Spring Break is here!

As of yesterday afternoon, spring break is here. My mom, however, is not. She was supposed to fly in yesterday at 5ish, but then...her flight was cancelled. Thank you, winter. Then, she was supposed to fly in today at 12:30ish, but then...her flight was cancelled. Thank you, winter. Now, she is supposed to fly in at 11:30 tonight. Winter, you better not get in the way or I will NOT be happy! I wish she would just be here! But, these things happen and I just have to constantly tell myself that. But unfortunately we missed out on the nice dinner I had planned with her and my friends last night, and this morning she missed walking the 5K run/walk with me for Missoula AIDS Council. But, she was able to extend her stay from Friday until next Saturday, so that gives us an extra day or two in Missoula!

Today, Lindsay, Julia, and I will be heading to Jerry Johnson Hot Springs. I've never been there so it should be some fun - it's about a 2-mile hike into the springs and I believe there are a few pools to choose from. We'll soak and talk and enjoy some wine/PBR, whatever floats our boats.

Tomorrow, my mom (assuming she's here) and I will probably hit up some Easter church and then head to Columbia Falls for the week for some great snowshoeing and skiing at Glacier. Never mind that I hate winter! I'll pretend it's warm and sunny.....or, I'll hang out in the hot tub all week.

Also, a tentative date has been set for moving back to Wisconsin! However sad I am to leave my friends, I am excited to be back in the state o'cheese. Lindsay and I will be caravanning together, as she will be headed back to Chicago, and we'll be leaving Missoula around May 16th, hoping to get near home by the 19th or 20th. We'll find some fun along the way perhaps....camping, Badlands, friends in random places, Mount Rushmore....who knows? So, in between now and then I need to sell anything that does not fit into my car and that I will not need in the Peace Corps - should be a great chore.

Also, for this summer, if anyone knows of any families that would need a babysitter/nanny (up to 25 hours a week, or casually and sporadically), I am hoping to make that my temporary summer job. So feel free to spread the word and pass on my contact information!

Happy Easter all, if you celebrate, and otherwise, Happy Weekend and/or Happy Spring Break.
