Spring Break 2006 was perfect. Not only did I have a great time with Matt in California, but I also managed to squeeze in a trip to good ol' Nampa, Idaho during my 1 week off from school. Matt and I were in California from Saturday through Wednesday, and then Wed. afternoon we flew our separate ways for the rest of the week and weekend--he to Nashville for Trevecca TNT (Top Nazarene Talent) and I to see my girls. I spent most of my time with my adorable sister, who is now a whopping 24 years old and enjoying her 2nd year post graduation from NNU. I can't believe she's so old(!), which makes me even older and in my 5th year being away from 'Saderland. Wow. Yikes.
Carrie and I had a grand time together. She was able to take 2 days off of work just to spend with me, which I felt very special for. Nowadays we only get to see each other at holidays and maybe a few day
s during the year. I LOVE her little apartment and really enjoyed getting to see where she works and hang out with some of her friends. She had lots of cute stuff planned to do, like this afternoon spent at Ceramica in Boise, (see photos!) a Bunko party with a bunch of ladies from church--funny story--, OMC, working out at the Rec, etc. We also did the typical sister things, like shopping, getting our hair cut, (isn't her's cute!) eating out at our favorite restaurants--I tried Baja Fresh for the first time--thank you, Carrie, new fave. We especially had tons of 
fun at Ceramica--surprisingly, too, because I am NOT artistic when it comes to painting! We made stuff for each other though, and that made it a little easier because now I don't have to look at the piece of junk I made for her! I also made this nifty cereal/icecream bowl for Matthew, and I must say, I a
m pretty proud of how it turned out, as you can tell--here, in its pre-firing stage! Matt definitely appreciated it more than any other souvenier I could have brought him back from Idaho! Anyway, with us each painting 2 pieces, I think we were there nearly 5 hours! It was much fun, I am already looking forward to my next visit--to Ceramica, and also to Nampa. I miss the old stomping grounds more than I wish I did. Thanks for such a special trip, Care Bear!

You are quite the artist. Maybe you should consider quitting teaching and becoming a professional bowl painter. . .I hear there is lots of money in that business.
I had a blast with you too! I'm so glad you came! We will have to do BUNKO again sometime soon.
