Today marks the first day of spring... or so I am told. I am so happy this year as flowers are starting to pop up on campus, I can wear bright springy colors, Jordan humored me and went on a picnic today - I was just feeling the spring jitters until I walked in to my spinning class. I quickly realized it was SPRING BREAK for everyone BUT me. Even the Mom's were discussing their plans for the break.
And then there was the cougars. Stuck at BYU for our "spring break." I do not understand why we must torture ourselves here - I am sure it is their way of making us "endure to the end." Now I am stuck in Provo - all of my spinning friends are gone to disneyland with their kids, Takael is in disneyland, and I am lying in my bed longing for a magical day by Cinderellas castle. Since the first time my Dad walked me down main street eating a caramel apple - I was in love with the magic kingdom. Now it seems as if everyone in my family has moved on from this stage - but not me.
The last time I was at Disneyland was for grad night. I couldn't help but share these pictures. They make me laugh so hard. Half of these boys are spread across the world - and the girls are all trying to figure life out still. It seems like things have changed so much - yet they haven't.

I love this picture. Not sure what I am doing.
And last but certainly not least - words can't describe this. Mom - seriously? We had matching MIRAGE outfits - from the Vegas resort. Only my Mom. Most kids would have matching primary shirts on. Not the Staples children. The best part is me crying, Derek being Mom's perfect child as always, and Katie's high tops - it describes us so well.
All in all - I just want to run away from school and go to Disneyland. I am behind in everything it seems. I am always the girl that is 3 days ahead. What happened? I need spring break - and I need a cali trip ASAP!

AHAHAHAHA! Those pictures are CLASSIC! Um, 1990 was not a good fashion year for me, but I apparently didn't notice... love the SWEET pose I'm striking in my Hammer pants and Reebok Pumps in that last photo. Bless Mom's heart for those outfits. Nice!
BTW...I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't moved on from loving Disneyland. I've been jonesin' for a caramel apple on Main Street with Dad for a long time. Maybe we can put a trip together before the end of the year. We'll talk. Thanks for posting the fun pics!
