Rexburg!!!

I went up to Rexburg about two weeks ago and it was so fun! It was so good to be back up there, it really is like a second home, and it was so good to be with Alma, Nicole, Jagger and friends again!! It felt like I had never left, just like I was back living up there again. Too bad I only got to "live" there for a short weekend. But I sure did a lot in those few days!

The first day I got in we decided to go sledding (seeing as how it was mid January and I had not played in the snow yet... and I live in Utah...) so we went up to the practice fields, where some brilliant mind built the snow up even higher on the hill so that it went above the fence!!! This is not sarcasm when I call this person brilliant, I'm serious! It was so sweet!!! It was a steep hill of joy! Alma and I went down it on the same tube- or air board rather... and it was so funny.. the first attempt we hit a bump -- and you get going down that thing, so it turned into more of a mini jump-- and I wasn't even on the board anymore, but slid right along with it, just sitting in the snow instead of on the board. We were laughing so hard that the snow made our teeth freeze, I think that was the most painful experience of the night! Then we tried it agaiThe first day I got in we went sledding up onn a few more times, and one of them I chinned Alma in the back (sorry about that by the way...) and the next time he didn't even hold onto the handles! so when we hit the bump he fell off and I went sledding down the rest of the hill on Alma, and Alma sledded down the rest of the way on his face! (lol, no apology there --who doesn't hold onto the handles??) Nicole had some rockin rides down the hill as well!! But Jagger didn't want to play... he just sat out with one of us like a lifeless vegetable. No emotion that kid! lol but he does it so cute!


(Just some examples of how cute this guy is!!!)






So after sledding Nicole and Alma went on a date and I met up with some friends and we went to Wingers then back to my friend's to play some karaoke!!! My voice was shot, I mean 4 hours of rockin out in the car on the drive up, and then an hour or so of karaoke! I sounded like a frog the rest of the weekend!


The next morning started bright and early (not as early or bright as it should have) with Alma and I driving up to R mountain, and snow shoeing up the back of it!!! It was awesome!! Snow shoes are seriously amazing! They help so much! We took them off at the top and tried walking around and we sunk down to our shins and were falling over and everything. lol. But since we got a late start and needed to get back to Nicole and Jagger (and a glorious breakfast which I'll et to) we took some of the air boards up with us, blew them up at the top and sledded down the mountain!!!! It was awesome!!!!!!! (disclaimer for any parents reading this... there is a trail that we followed so we knew it was clear of rocks and trees and plants). I went off a little 1 foot drop off and got some air!! lol it was crazy! But the snow was so deep and powdery that it didn't hurt any. Awesome idea Alma!! We'll definitely have to do that one again. So we get home and have an amazing breakfast w/ Nicole and Jagger -- crepes!!!!!!!!!!!! (oh man, those sound so good right now) then we put in some of my laundry and played Ninja Turtles on nintendo!!! (haha, that just reminded me of when we went sledding the first day and Alma was wearing all black and played ninja for a little bit hahaha)

Then later that night we went to the hot springs (smelled like easter eggs that had never been found) but it was fun and my skin was so smooth after!!!







Then after ashower, and another scrumptious meal, I went to Craigo's with some friends, then we went back to Catherine's and played a game where you put the camera on self-timer, and then push the button and call out an object and everyone has to grab that object, and get back in the picture and pose before the timer goes off. lol it was so fun!!!



















Not too hard in a small apartment, but still hilarious results! Then we played curses for a little bit, and then it was off to bed! The next morning I went to church and got to hear Alma give an awesome and motivating talk about being more Christlike, and hear Nicole sing in the choir! (they sounded like angels!!! They were amazing!) Then sadly there were quick good byes and it was off to Provo again.

Thanks so much again for having me guys!! It was so fun to see you! I love you!!!!
