Easter

I hope everyone had a happy holiday! Because I live in Louisiana (a very Catholic location), our spring break aligns directly with Easter. Z’s break, unfortunately, was the week before and mine is this week, so no fun trips anywhere for us! Although, he spent last week with his mom and I spent this weekend and some of this week with my family, so it was unlikely we’d be taking trips anyway because we’re all family-oriented and boring 😛

Since being home I was able to plant herbs I bought on my last trip home (basil, sage, thyme, peppermint, dill, lemon balm, as well as grape tomatoes and a banana pepper plant). I went to Sunday church with my mom (although I’m not particularly religious, this is meaningful to her). I worked a lot on Z’s birthday present, which I cannot share here (yet) because he is a reader of this blog as well. I also went to a crawfish boil hosted by a family friend (really very much family at this point) and ate my weight in crawfish on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter.

As an Easter gift, my mom got us all tickets to see Foreigner later in April! I’m super excited because I love Foreigner and have never been to a concert before! I also got a giant chocolate bunny (which I have since devoured). I took my cats home this trip. It’s the first time I’ve brought them anywhere. Although Max yowled the whole time (with intermittent mews from Kat Kat), it was an overall uneventful trip with them. They seem to be doing fine in the new environment.

I had a pretty eventful week at school, but aside from saying it was exhausting and my first experience with a parent-teacher conference, I shall stay silent on much of the matter out of professionalism and job security 😉

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday!
