Easter in SoCal


My mom sent me an Easter basket package in the mail! I really appreciated it and it made me miss home. While I was in college I was always close enough to go home for Easter and even though I'm way over 12 my mom would always have Easter baskets for us and I also make sure she has Peeps.

I went to church this morning and helped greet and met some really nice people. Then I went to Muna's church picnic. Perfect weather for a picnic. Went home, took a nap and then had a yummy dinner with the Millers.

It's kind of nice having Easter at the end of spring break. It's been a wonderful week of fun at a slower pace.

cards I made from a kit my Mom sent in the package.

I love Ultimate Frisbee

I play ultimate every Sunday with some people from my church. It's awesome fun! Ultimate is something that has been a part of my life for the past 6 years. It started my freshman year, playing with Crusade kids on Flavet Field and then kind of playing with some of the club peoples. And then it turned into Allen and Aubrey's small group playing and I just came along with Rebekah till we started recruiting more girls. Even when I moved to Barbados we kept the tradition alive. Man it's hard to play ultimate with teams of 4 on recently aerated fields with heavy wind! Finding a group in San Diego was one of my top priorities when I moved and God provided a fun group! The games are getting more and more intense which I kind of enjoy. It's hard for me to play non-competitive games of ultimate. This last week a guy got a nice bruise on his nose thanks to a high flying saucer. I won't name the culprit but you know him/her. The weather is beginning to warm up and ultimate is going to keep on getting better and better!

thought you should know:

I'm tired and it's only 9:44. Maybe it's from playing 3 hours of ultimate. or maybe it's left over from last week's Super Saturday and working a lot. Or maybe I'm just ready for spring break. i don't know. I need a shot of motivation and some good sleep!

3rd phone is the charm?

My phone has issues. Well phone #1 had issues and now phone #2 has issues so hopefully phone #3 will NOT have issues.

Let me explain.

In July I got a new phone because I got a new plan because my old plan was cancelled when I left the country for the year. Makes sense so far. In January I noticed that my phone was kind of crackly when it rang and when I tried to use speaker phone. Pretty soon it barely worked for speaker phone and sounded like a dying cat when anyone called. I took it into the T-mobile store. I still had the factory warranty on it so they shipped me a new phone and I shipped them my broken phone. Everyone's happy. Well I was not so happy when I had to transfer all my numbers over and lost most of my pictures, but then I was happy that my phone worked.

And then came yesterday. I was sitting in my quiet room doing whatever and looked down at my phone and realized I had missed a call and a text. There was no reason for me not to hear it. I started messing around with my phone and realized it no longer made the cool water bubble noise when it opened and closed. (seriously this noise may be my favorite part to my phone) I tested the ringers...nothing. My sound had completely left me!

I took my phone into today. They're going to send me a new one...again. If it breaks 3 times in 90 days I get a new model. SO if this 3rd one decides to break, and I really hope it doesn't, it needs to break in the next month to make it worthwhile. Otherwise I start a hate relationship with it, and you may want to start emailing me...
