Spring Break What?!

Spring break. Oh the two words I used to start thinking about on January 1st of every year. The plans would begin.. beaching it up, relaxing pool side or working those extra shifts while out of school. Then once the anticipated break was here, the most important part of my day was making sure I had plans for that evening! Although it has been a few years since those amazing days were upon me, this year I didn't even notice it was spring break.. until today. Almost the last day of break. But as I began to think about all of the spring breaks in the past I began reminiscing of the "old days" The adventure I took with some people I never speak to, people that continue to play a huge part in my life and those who drift in and out thanks to our crazy social media world. And then I take a step out of my world and look in. I would never have guessed this would have been my life. From crazy sleepless nights out on the town, road trips at 2am, clubs and social scene to present day, the love of my life and I tucking into bed to catch up on our latest DVR's and our sweet angel sound asleep across the hall. From random beach trips, concerts and camp outs to present day park trips and frozen yogurt with our mini. Red bull and cigarettes to water and vitamins. A midnight call to come out and play, to a call at midnight.. there has to be something wrong! Planning our days around what craziness will consume that night.. to planning our future to experience adventures far beyond what any night outing could ever bring us. Weekend trips to Austin, Tx with no plans in mind, to weekend trips to Costco, the grocery store, and home goods stores checking off lists of to do's and fix its. Ahhhh the times have changed. Looking into my world from the outside in, I see a family of 3 growing every second of every minute, doing the best they can, being just who they are, adjusting, climbing, pushing, and conquering as time passes too quickly to understand. Spring Break you have once again come upon us, but the meaning of you has changed so drastically that I anxiously await my little one(s) spring breaks to begin my count downs and plans to new places and new adventures created and shared in a whole different light. A light I have only dreamed about. And so the spring breaks of my past, adios.. the memories will stay with me forever but there are new ones that have to be made.
