From Snow to Sun: Spring Break Livin'

It's spring break! I couldn't think of a better way to spend it than at my two favorite places: the mountains and the lake.

I spent the first part of spring break in the Rockies, snowboarding with my family. It's hard to describe the feeling of standing on top of a mountain, looking out at the magnificent mountaintops. It's like the world is standing still and you're standing above it all, looking down at the earth below.

Then, strapping a snowboard on your feet and heading down.

It's hard to believe that just two days later, I was sitting on a dock in southern Missouri. I had a glass of lemonade in my hand and my best friend in the lounge chair beside me. 

Top it off with a girls night at the Branson Landing! 

When I look back at the week of spring break it occurs to me how blessed I am to be able to spend this  time with family and friends at some of my favorite places. Now, the questions is: Do I have to go back to school?!
