Life is Peachy Keen

Hello World!
   Well in case you haven't noticed, the name of my blog has changed.  I have decided to change it because I felt it was cute, different, and related to me in a better way.  I wanted something more unique and something that stood out and could make people smile.  So here is my attempt.
   I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks.  With spring break and school, it has been enough to keep me away from my blog.  I am hoping that I will be able to better organized my time to allow myself to continue blogging at least once a week.
   About two weeks ago IC had our spring break.  I was very excited for this spring break because for the first time, I was actually going somewhere for spring break! A group of my sisters and I went to South Padre Island in Texas.  We drove down and back (a grand total of 40 hours in the car), and we spent four days on the island.  It was absolutely wonderful! A group of six of us went, and we had the time of our lives.  We were on the beach every day, meet new friends and met up with some form school, went to pool parties, ate way to much food, and made memories to last a life time.  I loved being at the beach, but my favorite part was honestly just bonding with my sisters for a week.  I can honestly say that I have never laughed so much in my life.  Most of us ended up leaving the island without a voice and came home sick, but we wouldn't trade it for anything.  I am so grateful that I was able to be apart of this adventure with such great friends.
   Being back at school has been fine.  A lot has happened at IC, some good some bad, but I have been able to keep up without a problem.  I am hoping to declare a minor in History before the end of the semester, witch is only about 4-5 weeks away... I never knew time could fly by so fast.  Soon I will be in the back half of my undergrad and I am low key freaking out.  I am ready for what life has to offer me, but I wish it would slow down just a little bit.  My classes have been going well, and I still get excited for what they are able to teach me.  They continue to hold my interest. 
   I am home for a couple of days for Easter break.  It's really nice being home for Holy Week.  Mom and dad love it, too.  Tomorrow night, at the Easter Vigil, my friend Rachel will be coming into the Catholic Church.  It is a very exciting time for not only her but my family as well.  We have been helping her on her journey, since my mom is her sponsor, and we are all so excited to welcome her into the church.  She is so ready and passionate about this process and her decision to join.  WELCOME RACHEL!
   Also, tonight at dinner, my grandma Mary was able to tell me all about her recent trip to Paris! I am so jealous and amazed that she got to go.  She went with my cousin Katie and her family and I still hope that one day that will be me taking selfies next to the Eiffel Tower.  But until then, I will continue having fun with my sisters, focusing my time on classes, and preparing myself for Blue Ridge.
