Spring Break is over

Well, I'm sad to say that spring break is now over with.. and it hardly feels like we had a week off. My mom got in Friday evening and I went and picked her up from the airport. We had a great time while she was here! I got my delicious Chick-fil-a for dinner Friday night and we relaxed at home that evening. The next day, we went hiking at Devil's Ice Box (that was the warmest day) with Beamer. The caves were unfortunately closed until April, but we still had a good time there. We found a GREAT mexican place really close to my house that has fantastic margartias and really great avocado/guacamole like appetizer!! We went back the next night just for that.
We took Beamer to the dog park the next morning and HE FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO SWIM!! He has always loved the water but has been to afraid to actually swim. He finally did it this week and I am so proud and happy! He had such a fun time and now I won't be able to keep him out of the water. I took mom to a great place here called Flat Branch she's been wanting to go to with friends.
Another great thing that came about this weekend is that I am getting mom hook on The Walking Dead! I'm so excited for her to finally be in a fandom that I love (which the season finale is tonight and I'm MISSING because I don't have cable... UGH.) So we watched basically the entire first season (which is only 6 episodes... but still). She's already almost half way through season 2 at home.
For the rest of break, I've gotten caught up on school work, worked on scholarships/applications, cleaned, did some pet-sitting, and hung out with my Beamer boy. I also have been helping out my roomie who tore her ACL at the SCAVMA convention I didn't go to... so that really sucks.
I entered Beamer in some trials at the beginning of May right after finals to compete for our RAE. Three straight trails in a weekend- should be busy and exhausting. Also I signed him up for agility classes starting in mid-April.
So, classes start back tomorrow and I'm not nearly ready. April is always a crazy month... we have Gentle Doctor Benefit this weekend I'm helping out with, Dog Jog that morning, Open House is next weekend, plus exams and school work to keep on top of (we have 3 exams this week...)
One last thing... Beamer had his birthday this week!! He is now 3 years old! I can't believe how much time flies. I love this boy; more than pretty much anything. He is my heart dog. I baked him a cake, took him back to the park for a swim, he got a new toy... such a spoiled man. I also did some crafts this week and made a 'brag board' to finally display all his ribbons he's won these past two years! It is so great to have them out in the open rather than shoved away in a bag in my closet. I just need to figure out how to hang it... Easier said than done. Here are a few pictures! That's it for this week.
