Easter Weekend!

So the pictures are a little out of order! Here is the gang (minus dad who took the picture) at the ball game ---we look toasty! It was a great time.
We spent Easter Weekend in sunny Arizona! This is how we enjoyed Good Friday- and it was good! Poolside at the hotel....with margaritas!
During the month of March in Michigan....you see nothing but gray skies. This is what I woke up to each morning on the balcony....a sunrise!!! The orange blossoms were in bloom too, and the smell was amazing! It was very nice to see palm trees, and flowers in bloom.

I just loved the palms! It was surreal to see snow the morning of our departure, and then 80* weather 6 hours later. Beautiful!
While in Phoenix we went to a NHL hockey game-Phoenix Coyotes Vs. Mighty Ducks. It was exciting! I used to be a huge hockey fanatic, and this may have been my relapse!! I enjoyed being in the cold ice rink air, hearing the crowd scream, and drinking a $5 diet coke! The Coyotes lost 2-1.
We went to an amazing restaurant- Coronado's Cafe. Great food, great wine...great company! Dad and I enjoying the evening looking a little sunkissed!
Play ball! We spent sunday afternoon at a White Sox/Kansas City Roayls spring training game in Tuscon. It was 90* out. My grandparents (gma and gpa Eaton) met us at the game. Theres something about a ball park that's just relaxing....almost therapeutic. Hot dogs, and lemonade.....you can't beat that!



Here is the Coyotes areana....it wasn't too packed but the crowd sure was loud during the fight of the game!

Exciting News!

Everytime I get back from a trip to see Justin I have to make a plan for our next visit. It's hard to not know when the next time will be that you see your significant other. So with the help from my mom (and her sky miles) we scored Justin a free ticket to come and visit me in TC in May! He will be just finishing his spring semester at MSU so a week of relaxation is just what he will need! I'm so excited, and I think my dad is excited to have a guy around for a while too....afterall he does live with 3 women...my mom, me, and the cat :) Hes doomed! It's going to be great!

Justin has just moved into his new house in Bozeman! With the help from his parents, they put up new blinds, and put away all the housewares. The fridge arrived dented and scratched....so it was sent back. He will not have the replacement until this weekend- yikes. Needless to say he's been eating dry goods, and take out. I don't blame him! He is enjoying the new house, but is now coming to realize how much goes into setting up house! The phone calls, the bills, the energy setting things up and moving in......he's pretty exhausted. I think we're all ready for this semester to be over!

This will be the last post before my family leaves for Arizona for Easter break! We are flying out on friday, coming back monday.(unfortunately Justin cannot come with us this time) We will spend it seeing my sister and brother in law, my aunt, and grandparents. It will be a busy 3 days- my dad planned a baseball game, and hockey game for us to attend.....I just want to lie in the sun and get some color! The michigan weather has gotten the best of us all....it's grey, rainy, and cold ALL the time. Time for a vay-cay! Happy Easter everyone!
