Spring Break 2009

Ok, so Connie came in a week ago yesterday to spend spring break up here and I have to tell you - it was the best spring break that I have had since starting college. I didn't go anywhere far, I didn't spend a lot of money, I didn't do anything overly special in fact I worked two days out of the week. But I had a blast just hanging out.

Saturday when Connie got here, Mike, me, Des, Jim and Kate all went out to a brewery and hung out. The place was packed, and the music was way to loud but it was fun all the same. Monday night I had to work, Tuesday was St. Patty's Day and we spent the night in drinking and watching Boondock Saints (oh I want Murphy sooo bad lol! and an epic failure on the appriopriate response of 'is it dead?'). Wednesday night we hung out with Mike and Des at bowling, Thursday I had to work for two hours, but then Connie, Katie, Cory and I all went and saw Watchmen (which makes a lot more sense the second time through).

Friday, Connie and I went into the city to the Museum of Natural History, Central Park, Intrepid Museum and Battery Park to get a pic with the Statue in the background. We really didn't spend as much money as I thought we were going to, considering we spent an hour and a half walking around Central Park getting lost! And then the train ride back was a nightmare but full of great moments that I wish I could fully explain to everyone (like my little mini spasm). Saturday we could barely walk, but Mom managed to get us out of the house and walk around, and then Sunday (today) Connie left for home (and again with train fiascos).

So it wasn't really an eventful week, but I had a blast. I got to hang out with Connie who is a great friend, Katie who is also a great friend, and Mike who is an awesome boyfriend. I think I needed to get away for a few years, and be on my own for a bit before I realized how much Jersey is really my home. How much I'm really and truly meant to be here. Yes I'm glad I went out and experienced Kansas, I will always cherish my memories and friends from there. But there's something special about Jersey. This week proved that. It was the best Spring Break I have ever had and all I had to do was stay here.

I guess I'm just a Jersey girl to the bone. This is where I belong, this is who I am.
