| Juju and Jake getting on our first plane! |
hellooooo blogging friends! Long time no blogging. i hope everyone had a fantastic spring break, i know i needed a little vacation from tuscaloosa. my break consisted of my whole family getting on a really small airplane (look at the picture on the left) and flying out to DC to visit my really awesome sister mary margaret and her hubs kenny! little sidenote: the plane really was that small, when i stood up in the aisle my head hit the top of the plane. when we walked into the plane, my brother jake in the red shirt screamed, "What is this? A center for ants?!" zoolander reference. hopefully you got it. one of my favorite parts of the whole trip was being surprised by mary margaret, kenny, and nelly at the airport. we thought we would have to take the metro to our hotel but they came and got us. nelly is their puppy by the way if you didnt know already, and i consider her one of my best friends. below is a video of how excited she was to see the family at the airport :)
needless to say, we were all very happy to see each other. our trip wasn't your usual college student spring break trip, but boy did we have fun! DC is an awesome place to visit. there is always something to do, which is just about the exact opposite of tuscaloosa, where there is never anything legal to do on a weekend. sad, but true. so of course the dorr family took DC by storm and hit up just about every single thing you can do in DC - we visited the washington monument, went to a saint patricks day parade, visited the smithsonian museum, went to the WW2 memorial, the vietnam memorial, the lincoln memorial, the national archives, the national gallery of art, the capital, the white house, the library of congress, an NBA game, georgetown cupcakes, the national holocaust museum, national museum of crime and punishment, (we love criminal minds, don't judge) we ate at a ton of delicious restaurants, and of course hit up starbucks a few times. that might seem like a ton, well it was. but you have to understand that my parents are nerds, they love to learn new stuff. joanne calls herself a "life long learner" and so we literally did anything and everything in sight. the lord blessed me with smart parents, i just can't help it.
proof of my nerdiness over spring break:

There are several more pictures on my facebook if you want to see them. several meaning hundreds. like 500 to be exact. ANYWAYS. it was a great trip and it was so good to see the rest of my family that live so far away. we got back on friday and that just happened to be the first day of a harry potter four day marathon on tv, so i ended my spring break with several hours of my favorite boy in the world, ron weasley.

| 1) yes this way my twitter picture for months and 2) dont judge me i have a lot of free time on my hands. |
now i am back in tuscaloosa and going to classes (gross) and i am so pale that i look like a vampire. i am trying to stay out of the direct sunlight so that my skin won't sparkle. twilight reference. hopefully you understood it. all of my friends went to the beach and look very ethnic and i am super duper jealous. BUT i am looking forward to school ending now. we have two more weeks of march, the month of april, and then a few days in may and i am DONE with freshman year! hallelujah and praise da lawd almighty! words cannot describe how ready i am to move out of my frighteningly small dorm room and back home for the summer.
i haven't even noted the incredible weather we are experiencing in my city. it is exactly 70 degrees, sunny, and PERFECT. incredible weather for an incredible time in my life. i can't believe this season of my life is about to be over!! the year was great but i am ready to move forward and take advantage of the precious time jesus has given me here in tuscaloosa. take the time to remember today that we are all here for a reason. tell someone them you love them today. it will make their day, maybe even their week. oh and go sit outside too. it will make you happy.
thats all ive got folks! have an incredible monday!
