Birthday

I know it's been awhile sense my birthday, but I just wanted to sayto everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday and was so thoughtful to make my 21st the best!
Just a little update: It was great having Darcy come and visit us! We did a lot of the things on our list, some we skipped and decided to do other stuff, but all in all I think we did pretty well. We had chocolate and biscuits Saturday morning (Thank you Lorelei for that recipe!) then went to the caves. We even got to stop by the sand dunes on the way home, but it was REALLY windy so we didn't stay too long. Later that night we checked out the Overtime Sports Center then went to the straw maze. And good news! We went through the straw maze in record time! 36 minutes! However, it wasn't very hard to break our last time since last time it took us over 2 hours to get through! Anyways, it was a great weekend and I'm glad that Darcy could come up to visit us!
By birthday was great! We had a mini party that night with some friends and yummy cupcakes. Then Anthony took me out for a birthday dinner that weekend, then shopping :) Then for Halloween we just watched scary movies and ate way too much candy and junk food... We actually had on trick-or-treater stop by our apartment earlier that day, but when he looked in the door and saw us he ran away! I was so excited to give him candy too, but it was too late, by the time I walked over to the door he was already gone.
Next week Anthony is going on his big Bentonville Expedition with the school! Wish him luck for his interviews with WalMart!

Midterms

Man, I had forgotten how much I hate midterm week. Things have been so BUSY this past week. I took 4 midterms already and I have one more the beginning of next week... yuck!
On other news my sister is coming to IDAHO this weekend to visit! I am so excited! She came up once my first semester, but I was a loser then and we didn't really do anything. So this time I can hopefully to make it up to her. Haha!

Here are a few things we have on the agenda:
1. chocolate and biscuits
2. ice caves
3. sand dunes (with a bonfire and s'mores)
4. straw maze
5. big judds (but probably just for ice cream, last time we ate there it didn't really agree with our stomachs...)
6. overtime sports center
and I think thats it... I don't think we can do all of these things but we can try.

More of our Vacation

Here are some more pictures of our vacation...
This is us at Hollywood Studios at Disney (Right) We went to the Indiana Jones show and Anthony was chosen to be one of the towns people... it is a whole lot more entertaining when you know someone on stage, haha! It was fun watching him.

Animal Kingdom is probably Anthony and I's favorite park... however Epcot is pretty cool too. I think its because Disney did such a good job with it. You really feel like you are walking through a jungle. Haha anyways, this is us at Animal Kingdom after the water ride...

Epcot. We decided to go to all the countries, Anthony had never done them before and honestly I couldn't remember them much either... It was pretty impressive. Disney always does such a good job.We also took some time and decided to go to the beach one day, thats one thing that we really miss while were out here in Idaho.Anthony wanted to dig a hole all the way to China... or wherever, but
then I convinced him that we should just bury him. I made him into a Merman, haha. We were also lucky enough to be there when Anthonys younger brother, Daniel, graduated from basic training. So we drove down to Macon and spent the day with him. His friend, Brett, also came with us.




We got back to Rexburg little over a week ago and miss Georgia all ready :( But were excited that we get to come home for Christmas!
Also one of my best friends growing up (yeah I have a lot of those) Rachel Fairclough got engaged last night and I am so happy for her and her fiance! Congratulations!

GEORGIA!

I just love Georgia! Me and Anthony have had a great time so far... we even decided to extend our stay 2 more weeks! Yay!
Anyways, it has been great being able to see everyone. Here is a picture of us at Kevin and Amy's house with my parents and Amy and Alexander.

My dad also fixed up the wave runner and we went to Lake Lanier during the week. We were actually quite lucky cause it had been raining the entire time we've been home. but it didn't rain that day! Anthony had never been on a wave runner before so it was really fun!
On Saturday we went to Alexander's one year old birthday! It was so cute! You can read more about it here.That night was Natalie's reception (my best friend growing up). We have been friends ever sinse we were three! She was so beautiful and it was so nice to be there to celebrate with her! Here is a picture of Rachel, Me, Natalie, Kelsey, and Kelley. We all grew up with each other.
This past week we were in Orlando with my parents. We went to the beach, Disney World, and to a water park. I'll write about that another time, but thats all for now!

Who Knew?

Today I dropped Anthony's brother, Daniel, off at the Idaho Falls airport. He is going to be at basic training for the National Guard in Georgia (lucky). Haha, he is going to be gone for about 6 months and I wish him the best of luck!
After I dropped Daniel off I decided to go change my name on my drivers license. Well, I guess get an Idaho license and change my name. So I walk over to the license administration building and tell them that I need a new license. Then they tell me that I have to take the written part of the driving test again! I thought maybe I could get away with just taking it then, how hard could it be right? However, the nice lady at the counter told me that there are different laws in Idaho because of the snow and such, so she gave me a book and told me to study for little while. I was so sad that along with my other homework, I have to study for a driving test. Haha!
Anthony is so lucky he is a guy.

Foxes, and Wolves, and Bison, Oh My!

My parents came into town this weekend to visit with us for awhile. On Friday we went to TGI Fridays (ha!) and I got my wedding picures! Yay! Then we headed to Yellowstone for the rest of the weekend. Scott and Katie and Luke met us in the morning then we went into the park. I have never been there before, so it was pretty cool. Here are a few pictures from the trip!The bison were walking on the street stopping the traffic! It was so crazy!
All of us at Old Faithful
Anthony and I at some random waterfall... at least its pretty! I think its Yellowstone River
