Its catch up time!
i arrived back in america on March 13th - welcomed at the airport by my parents and tonya and my best friend since 6th grade -Molli. 
Traci was in california so i didn't get to see her until that sunday. We hung out in Plano for a few days before going to east texas. 
It was weird going home, since my parents had moved since i left for india and i didn't even know what it looked like. A few days after being home, i found out that God totally provided a car for me. A week previous to my coming home, a woman had "happened" to mention that she wanted to sell her jeep since she hardly ever drove it and it just sat in her garage. Long story short my dad bought it for me and it is in great condition. It's big enough to haul all my stuff to california in the fall without being too huge and eating too much gas. so you are looking at the proud owner of a 94 Jeep grand cherokee laredo. I bought my first insurance - i'm officially grown up now. ha!
the following weekend was Easter.
I loved this weekend. My whole family was home and we had a blast!
We just hung out, 
played games, 
took a ton of cheesey pictures, 
decorated easter eggs,
goofed around,
played games, took a ton of cheesey pictures, decorated easter eggs, goofed around,(this is me and traci trying to fill balloons with paint, a little harder than one might think)
and i even got them to do crazy artwork with me - aren't they great??
it brings a whole new idea to balloons!
Easter day we went to church (which actually going to church in america is a bit weird to me especially when i understand everything that the pastor says - english is a beautiful language!)
we had our family lunch
and went on a easter egg hunt -
we were probably the oldest people ever hunting for eggs but we had a blast (especially if some of the eggs had money in it- oooooh)
then sadly, tonya had to go back to plano (pesky work) and traci had to go back to Oklahoma (pesky school). But i will see them soon.
