Best Gift ever!!

My wonderful in laws gave me the nicest gift i have ever had for my birthday which was in February, a gift card to Sage Day Spa... i was sooo excited to go get a massage or a pedicure or something fantastic. But we were planning on moving into a new apartment and so i put it off thinking i would really want to pamper myself after we moved... and then we decided to go to CA for Ryan's mission stuff and i knew that was the prefect time to go get a pedicure so my toes would be all cute. So i called and made an appointment for the next day. I WAS sooooo looking forward to a wonderful hour at the spa. The next morning i wake up and my get ready to go and i notice that i have a message on my phone and it was Sage... they had a "small" fire and didnt know when they would be open again. I was BUMMED!!!

So i kept checking the web site hoping for updates, they said they were hoping to re open in the middle of July and that came and went and then i checked one more time for good messure and low and behold they were reopening!! August 20!! So Becky made an appointment for us to have a girly afternoon, and it was amazing! I told George that i would love more money there, they really did pamper us, it was waayyy better then in pedicure i have ever had to before! and they have new Chairs and they were amazing! and i could go on and on forever.

So too my New York Family, THANK YOU! i had an amazing time and im soooooo glad i finally used the gift card. i loved every minute of it!

Check out my cute toes.

New YORK!

We just got back from the most amazing vacation, it is always such a joy to go to New York and see the family and this time was great because we were just there to be there, it wasnt a holiday or a wedding or anything just good times. We did a lot of stuff this time that we have never done before too.

We went to the Renaissance Fair... which was fun, and interesting. it was fun to go and see all the people all dressed up, see the jousting, and the other shows and to look at all the fun things that people made that could only be sold at a renaissance fair.

We blessed a baby.

Had a birthday surprise party.

We went to the Body World exhibit in Buffalo... Buffalo is pretty gross but body world was pretty sweet. But we were not allowed to take pictures. (so i found this picture on line, this one was not even at the show we went to, but its still cool)
After Body Worlds we drove about 30 mins to Niagara Falls. Which is AMAZING! It really did blow my mind. It would have been cool to go to the Canada side and really see it but i dont have a pass port so next time we will be there.
And after that we mostly just kinda hung out the the family! Which is so nice to do because we only see our east cost family once a year or so and it is fun to just hang out and play. We had a great week and cant wait to go back. Love you guys! Thanks for a fantastic week.

crazy rexburg.

Last night there was a crazy lightening storm... we went up to the top of the hill at like 12:15am to watch and take pictures... here are my faves (it was raining)

Weekend on the water

This weekend after graduation we went out on a boat all day. It was kinda yucky and rainy and then it the sun came out and we had a good time.
We went up to Palisades, which was beauitiful. We had never been there before so it was fun.

After boating we went up to Island park to hang out with dad's family at Grandpa's cabin, which i have not been to since he died which was a very long time ago, so it was fun. We played on a jet ski, and played on the dock. We slept in a tent.

On Sunday we went for a little road trip, we went up to Big Springs.And Then we went to Mesa Falls.It was a fantastic time in Island Park.
