Spring Break Ideas???

I have a bad habit of looking forward to things. This can be bad because then I tend to not live in "the now." But right now, right this second, I am living in the now, and I don't care!! I want Summer to come!! I still have 2 months of school left, and it seems like FOREVER!! Jaren told me on Sunday that being happy doesn't mean we're happy when school's out, it doesn't mean we're happy when we're on vacation, but it means being happy as we are right now. He's right of course, I know. I am trying to enjoy my life as it is and not wish it away just because of school. I love being a newlywed! However... Spring break is just around the corner... and guess what... I can't wait!! Does anyone have any good ideas for spring break???? Jaren and I are kind of on a budget... so what could we do that's really really fun, yet doesn't cost a ton of money??? Any ideas anyone???

This is the 4th picture from my 4th file! It's a picture taken on the day Jaren and I got engaged! What a fun day!! He proposed to me during our weekend stay at Bear Lake with my family. I was so surprised! After church, he blindfolded me and took me on a drive to one of my favorite places, Bloomington Lake (about 40 mins away from Bear Lake). It is so beautiful up there; it has a glacier that lasts all year long and the scenery is amazing! Once we arrived, we hiked up to a rock by the lake (while I was still blindfolded), and I sat there while he took out a blanket, prepared a picnic, and spelled "Marry Me" out of rosepetals! When he was finished, he stood behind me and slowly unfolded the blindfold. I saw the words and then turned around and he was on his knee with the ring! I was SO happy and excited! I kept telling random strangers we saw at the lake that we were engaged!! This picture is one taken later that day down by Bear Lake. I loved that day and am so happy to be married to Jaren!
