Random happenings in April

April always proves to be a busy month. Therefore, I have several small happenings that happened. Imagine that. But, somehow did not ever end up in a blog. So this is the post that catches us up to date.

At one point in time during the month of April, we randomly decided to go swimming at midnight. I thought it was fun, everyone else was freezing. Well, I admit that I was freezing too, but that’s besides the point. Kaitlyn, Betsy, Teresa, and I jumped in the pool for a cool swim. It was actually our first time in the pool all semester.

Later, in the month of April, I had lunch with a friend from high school, Chris. He is moving to Florida to attend college near Tampa. He was in town for the week scoping out the area and visiting campus so we met up for lunch. It was fun to hang out and compare how things have changed amongst our lives.

Then, a couple days later in the month of April, my favorite cousin Joshua and his little niece Ava came to visit. We went to Magic Kingdom for the afternoon. I realized that you get treated with much more priority when you have a small child with you. Ava was able to visit the Princesses. And we got ice cream later – the ultimate Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve.

Also, during the month of April, Teresa and I watched a movie called, Letters to God. I recommend it. I believe I mentioned it in the Give Kids the World(GKTW) post. It was sad, happy, and funny. But the boy in the movie, Tyler, had a medulloblastoma brain tumor which happens to be the same type of tumor my brother had years ago. Therefore, I found the movie relatable. Plus, most people can simply relate with the idea of knowing atleast one person who has had cancer.

I recently finished reading the book, “The Guardian,” by Nicholas Sparks. I recommend this as well. I had three days off this last week, and honestly sat on the couch from 10AM until I was finished with the book. I had some small breaks in that time, but did not want to put the book down.

This last Thursday, I volunteered again at GKTW. I felt like we were not used to our full potential, but I always enjoy being on property and helping. Tiffany, Micole, and I worked in Katie’s Kitchen, filling orders and delivering orders. We peaked next door in the Ice Cream Palace to see if Tim and Art were working from several weeks back and they were. It was neat to see them again.

After working in the Kitchen, the girls wanted Boston Market, which is what is served in Katie’s Kitchen. I had never had Boston Market so I was up for the adventure. Teresa and I also went for ice cream at Friendly’s tonight which is what they serve in the Ice Cream Palace. Yum. It is comparable to Braum’s at home… maybe even better than Braum’s.

I think that wraps up my catch up for random events in April.
