spring break

o.k. so this has nothing to do with spring break - it's just my most favorite trader joes salad

 now these are photos from our spring break.  we went to la quinta with the tylers and stayed in a rental home.  it was so great to get away and literally do nothing.  no agenda.  i didn't even get in my bathing suit once.  wasn't hot enough.  ethan and i actually were sick for some of the time - lazyness was good.  not all of these photos are in focus - but whatever.  i seriously don't care.

here i am practicing the angelina jolie pose, minus the black-front slit dress and the red lipstick and heels...

i have to stop right here...the 4 of us went out for a nice dinner one night.  the couples next to us were totally plastered and so loud.  not my most favorite photo of me but were so tired and had been laughing so much - matt was looking up all this info on his phone about lady gaga being a hermadphodite and i was dying laughing.

i love this funky tree

this little desert get-away ended up being simple, cheap, fun, low key, and memorable.  going on vacation with friends is so great!!!  well, the tylers... are more like, family.

oh...and our easter?  we drove home on easter.  stopped for lunch at "5 guys" hamburgers.  got home and had pot stickers with brownies for dinner.  watched a church video - "the 8 cow wife" - and put the kids to bed.  no going to easter church services.  no ham or roast.  no hard boiled colored eggs.  no easter egg hunt.  no easter candy.  no decorations out what-so-ever.  i told the kids that next sunday we'd celebrate easter.  i have to admit that it kinda felt good to let go and not stress over it.  kinda like not doing a Christmas card this past year.  and...i haven't washed my hair ALL week.  i'm becoming a wreck!
