Happy Easter!!!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a WONDERFUL Easter weekend! Mine was alright... nothing special, but hey, I did spend some of yesterday on a beach, so I can't really complain =) Except that I wasn't able to be home with my wonderful family and boyfriend and his family... I hope you all know just how much I miss you all! It was great to see you all even just for that little bit on Skype! It is a wonderful thing to have when I'm so far away!

I also just wanted to take a second to thank everyone who has thought of me over the last couple months and sent me a card (or cookies or other fun things!!!)! It means the world to me that you are thinking of me out here! I keep these cards taped up around my room so have reminders of all the people back home who love me =)

Over the next few weeks here, Court and I will be doing a lot more exploring and I will be sure to post pics from everywhere we go! I'm really going to make this last month amazing and I cannot wait for it to get started next weekend!

On the hopeful agenda - Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Great America, and a lot of other things that really only Courtney and I understand, but there will be pictures anyway =)

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and I will keep in touch!

All smiles from Cali,

Love, Em
