My Spring Break

I should take spring breaks off more often, because my spring break was great.  Here are some of the highlights:

  • House/Animal sitting for friends
  • Had dinner at new friends’ house
  • Took my wife out on sushi, movie and yogurt dates
  • Grilling a ton of meat with friends
  • Working out a lot to loose the extra meat and winter coat
  • Ran soccer drills with Brent at the park
  • Dropped almost a grand on new tires for the Avalanche
  • Spent a few days with my nephew John
    • Nerf wars with John and Brent
    • Playing soccer with Casey and John at the park
    • Riding the rail and visiting the Dallas Zoo with Casey and John
    • Ate way too much at a Chinese Buffet
  • Played XBox with Brent
  • Played more XBox with Brent
  • Fixed my busted sprinklers in between trips to Lowes
  • Dog sat for someone I didn’t know
  • Had dinner with old friends Mason and Brenna
  • Read multiple periodicals and a couple books
  • Helped Casey’s granny move and spent time with family
  • Attended first ever FC Dallas soccer game and firework show
  • Counseled a couple for 6 hours ultimately reconciling their weekend and separation desires
  • Grew a full beard
  • Rarely ever thought about work
  • Enjoyed lots and lots of time with my incredible wife

All in all, time well spent.
