Easter Break
This year was a very nice Easter break. The whole family was of course home, Nina came with me and Josh brought Moriah so that was cool. Jeremiah's girlfriend Danielle was around a little but we didn't get to see as much of her because she wasn't staying at our house.
Got a little paintball in, which is always a good time. This time around it was me, Josh, Jeremiah, Ogre, Dad, and my cousin Michael, and we played in the woods behind my grandfather's place. It was my first time in that setting and I've gotta say I'm a big fan of the balance of thick, partial, and minimal cover. It would be even better if we got a few more guys on each team and widened the boundaries a bit; maybe we'll be able to do that in between graduation and work.
While we were at paintball Nina and Moriah went to look at furniture for the new apartments. They looked at beds, desks, coffee tables, and dining room sets, but when they dragged Josh and I back down there we only ended up buying the dining room sets (I also don't see myself fitting a coffee table into the budget any time in the near future). We of course ended up with the same ones, because they had a very limited selection that would actually fit in our respective kitchens/dining rooms, and we usually like the same stuff anyways.
Then Nina started laughing on the ride home and almost died choking on a Tootsie Roll. That was a lot of fun. She coughed it out just as a I was going to drag her out of the Jeep after whipping into a bank parking lot at about 60 miles an hour. I am aware of how to execute the Heimlich manuever, but not exactly eager to try it out, so I was very relieved she spit it out when she did.
Later we flew kites, which was a lot of fun but marred slightly by the fact that Nina's kite, while really nice for looking at, was crap for flying. It spun, but the design was kind of poor so it ended up using all the force it caught to spin and none of it to provide lift, making its maximum flight time about two minutes with even the strongest winds.
We also went to visit some cousins and enjoy a campfire in their backyard, which was nice except it was pretty windy so sparks and smoke were problematic at times. Nothing too bad though, and I also found out my aunt and uncle are replacing their bedroom set at the end of the month so I'm getting their bed frame. Then I just need buy a matching headboard and a mattress. Woo.
Only bad news: I didn't do any of my calc, and so I must return to that.
