I had a lovely Spring Break...it's hard to be back in the 'real' world. Thank goodness I was able to 'ease' into the week with a workday. I am taking a break from research papers to think back to a more relaxing time!
I began my week in Morganton. Even though I didn't do a lot, I really enjoyed sleeping in, visiting my family, and just relaxing. Last Monday I went to my grandmother's and got to see and spend time with my cousin. We went for a walk around the neighborhood. My home church has recently purchased more land and for Easter they placed a HUGE cross on the lot. You can see it from the road!

After a few days in Motown, I headed down to Pickens, SC to visit Casey. I really tried to grade...I promise! However, Hank wouldn't have it!
We headed down to Atlanta to visit Emory and check out the city. We had a really good time! I hadn't been to Atlanta in 10 years. We stayed in a little suburb of Atlanta that was very retro and cool. Cool? I feel like I'm in middle school...I'm tapped out of other adjectives!! The next day we checked out the city and campus. Emory has a very unique (not in a bad way!) campus that was a mix of old school/modern/sleek. I am really bombing with adjectives today...way to go English teacher! None the less, just take my word for it, it was great!

When we got back to Pickens, Casey's family was there to spend the weekend with her for Easter. I got to spend some time with them. Casey's sister has a precious daughter! We had a fun time with sidewalk chalk, dying Easter eggs, reading, and even fit some shopping in!
I finished my week in Motown. I went to church for Easter service and it was fantastic. The sermon was perfect, the flowers were beautiful, and the music inspiring. Granny had a rockin' lunch and then I went to see my mom's family. All in all...a great ending to a perfect week.
I guess it's back to the 'grind' tomorrow! I (strangely enough) have missed my students! Not necessarily teaching itself or all the grading, notes, lessons, work...but, I have really enjoyed my students this semester. As we enter the last 6 weeks, they'll be bittersweet! I'm anxiously awaiting summer though!!
