We moved and did other stuff!

Hey guys!
We are sad to say good bye to...

But really excited to say hello to our new and improved apartment...Its bigger, has a 2nd bedroom, a walk in closet, a bigger patio, more space in general! we love it!!

After we moved we moved we had General Conference which was amazing as always. On Sunday during the second session of conference we decided to go for a drive and listen to it on the radio. Best idea our friends have ever had it was a beautiful day, and here in rexburg those days are few and far between so you have to take full advantage of them! We we went to the Teton Dam site... which was interesting... and muddy.

And since it was so wonderful out side we could see for miles and miles so we stopped to take some pictures of the Teton Moutains... they were amzaing!And i wanted an even better picture a closer picture, so we continued to drive and then we found this...And at this point we were so close to Jackson Hole and it was about dinner time so we stoped to get some dinner! (dont judge us) It was a fantastic little after noon.

Over all we have been having a great time, the winter semester ends tomorrow, and then we have a week break!! We are really looking forward to a break! Only one more semester left for me. i just finished my last communication class, my last class in the Spori, one of my favorite buildings so i had a little moment.

Life is good, we are happy and healthy!

Snowmobile Trip

We have been looking forward to this weekend since Christmas. We worried about what to wear, who was going, how much it would cost, and the weather. And now the weekend is over and it was AMAZING! so much fun! Our snowmobile weekend was great! the family and friends all made it here safely and there were only minor injuries. :)
The day started verrrryyyy early! I of course was very excited and George was...grumpy (but happy). After about 2 hours on the road we made it to West Yellowstone. We got all suited up and waited for instructions. After signing our lives away we were ready!The Group
(Left to Right: McKenzie, Bryce, Billy, Dave, Nick, Ryan, Megan, Dad, Matt, Stephanie, George, Derek, Dustin, Mom, and Uncle Lee)

The day was beautiful! The sun was out and it snowed on and off through out the day.There were some mishaps...

Dustin hit his head and got ran over by his snowmobile... it was pretty exciting!Half of the group went up to the top of Two Top. The top of Two Top was kinda yucky and the trail was very bumpy and it was snowing a lot.It was a great trip! Thank you Mom and Dad!

Happy "Heart" day

Because my family is coming to Idaho this weekend to go snowmobiling (keep your eyes open for that post) me and George thought that we would celebrate the day of ,the day before the actual day of love. SO HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! to celebrate our love, we got each other a gift. A gift that we knew the other person wanted.
We got each other cute little dog cards... maybe its time we get a dog... i think that's what my subconscious is telling me.
George put my gift in this large box! (He's so thoughtful) Inside my large box was... Scrabble the Diamond version! Yes folks I enjoy scrabble and as I'm sure you can tell i do not spell well so its also a learning tool :) Thank honey I LOVE YOU!
And here is my husband playing with his gift. It was too intense to look away and smile for me! Over all its been a great "heart" day!
