breaks. we all need them at times. but what is a break, really? webster's defines it as "an interruption in continuity, a notable change of subject matter, attitude, or treatment." usually when i think of a break, i think of taking a breather from school or from deadlines and other stress. how do i usually take breaks? haha. well, usually if i'm by myself it's watching a tv show or a movie, sometimes its talking to my family or friends, but i have discovered the amazingness of taking a break from school (which seems to sometimes take over my life...) by doing something physical. it resets your brain and helps you focus better when you get back to hitting the books. it's way better than watching something (at least for me) and it destresses me and helps me get back to reality instead of in my own little world.

earlier this week i had a major test, that i studied hard for and then went on to bomb. i was upset to put it mildly. my brother was so sweet and took me hiking and put up with my bad attitude. about halfway up or maybe all the way up i started to feel 100% better. i could handle the facts of life again and think clearly it was amazing. here are some pics from our little break. :)

We made it off USAFA!

At the waterfall :)

Soaking it all in

Isn't God's creation is so stunning! I love CO.

Back home.

also this week we had promotions and awards at CAP. it looked like it was a lot of fun. i was kinda busy setting up the pie social. but i thought i'd put some pics up anyway. (i love pictures if you hadn't noticed...)
