No Such Thing as "Fall"

I had to change my background picture today cause I realized that Rexburg doesn't have a "Fall" season. It just goes from summer to winter to miserable cold back to summer again.

Weird.

Anthony and I had a great Thanksgiving break! We got the whole week off of school so it was nice not having to think about school for a little while. The week didn't start off to great cause Anthony got sick then got me sick. But we got a little Christmas shopping done and some decorations for our apartment!

On Wednesday we drove down to Utah, and spent some time in Salt Lake, Anthony just loves seeing his mission areas! Then we stayed with Scott and Katie that night (thanks guys!) and drove to my Grandparents lodge in Altonah on Thanksgiving morning. We had a delicious dinner and afterwards my grandpa gave us a little gun lesson. Then it was time to go outside and shoot them. There were three handguns that he wanted us to shoot. I have never really shot a gun, I mean I've shot a couple of BB guns with some friends when I was in high school, but those don't really count. I think I did a pretty decent job with the targets. Katie and I were the first ones to actually hit the target pretty well, go us! But then the boys kept practicing and got pretty good... they're so competitive.

Only 2 more weeks left of school till the holidays! We are so excited for Lawrence's wedding in southern California on the 19th (hopefully we'll get some good weather!) and to go to Georgia for Christmas!

(P.S. Sorry there's no pictures... I forgot my camera when we left for thanksgiving :(

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!

One Week!

Only one more week of school! Yay!
We are excited to have a nice long break coming up and really excited that we get to visit GEORGIA for a little while!

Good News

This past weekend Anthony and I went to Salt Lake to go to a wedding. It was for Logan Christensen, Anthony's good friend growing up. It was a beautiful day and they are so cute together!
We also went to a lunch to celebrate after wards at the Lion House in Salt Lake. Apparently they have famous rolls, they were delicious!
We also got to stay with Scott and Katie and Luke! It was great to see them, even though it was a short visit. Thank you guys!
On another note, one of my best friends from GA, Kelsey, is visiting this weekend! We have been friends ever since we can remember and I am excited to spend some time with her this week!
We also have a short week this week and a 4 day weekend (because of fourth of July). I am really looking forward to it. On Saturday Anthony and I are planning on going to Idaho Falls to celebrate Independence day. There is a HUGE fireworks show every year... seriously, I have never seen so many fireworks. And if anyone knows my family, thats saying a lot! Haha!
Life is good.

4 Day Weekend

This weekend was a four day weekend! We had Memorial day off and Tuesday the school had an "examination" day.... don't know what that means, but we got the day off of school so I'm not complaining.
It has been very relaxing just staying in Rexburg. Its actually kinda nice when everyone leaves for long weekends, it gets really quiet and it feels like you have the whole place to yourself.
Anyways, we decided to go camping for a day. Anthony's parents got us a tent and a double sleeping bag for our wedding and we were glad we could finally use it. Thank you!!
So here are a few pictures from our trip...

Anthony setting up the tentIt had rained right after we finished setting up the tent (Good timing!). We were sad, but luckily it only rained for an hour or two.

Our sweet fire that we cooked our foil dinners on.Well thats all for now. Just a short week left for school then its the weekend again!

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

Nexflix

So Anthony and I decided not to get cable this semester... instead we got
It's great! We both love it! Right now we are getting two DVD's at a time on a free two week trial and we can watch a lot of movies and tv shows online too! Anthony and I have always loved watching movies, and now it seems like there is an unlimited selection. If anyone wants to try the two week trail here is the link. http://www.netflix.com/FreeTrialInfo It really is free, just make sure you cancel it when the two weeks are up. They even tell you how to cancel it when you sign up.
On other news, my parents are coming out west this week. They flew in today and this week they are going to be down in Provo helping Scott and Katie with their lawn. This weekend a few of us(me and Anthony, my parents, Darcy, and Scott) are going to Yellowstone. I've never been there before, so I'm pretty excited for it.
Anthony signed up for his BYU online accounting class yesterday. So he is going to be taking BOTH accounting classes at the same time! But he has a whole year to finish the one online so its not that big of a deal.
I am still looking for a job... anyone got any ideas? Haha, just kidding.
It has been so cold here recently! Anthony and I finally broke down today and decided to turn on our heater. It has even been snowing! Not enough to make it really stick, but honestly Rexburg, its almost May! Haha.
Anyways, I need to get back to my homework. I have my first test this weekend, wish me luck! Peace Out!

Thanksgiving Break

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It was so nice for us to have a whole week off of school! I cannot tell you how needed it was! 

Last Friday Anthony's parents sent us to go celebrate for our engagement. So we drove down to Idaho Falls and went out to eat at Olive Garden. Thank you! It was great! 

Then on Saturday we went to Cress Creek Nature Trail. We went with Anthony's brother Daniel, my roommate Aubree, and her boyfriend Ben. They are always fun to hang out with. It is about a 20-30 minute drive from Rexburg and it was really cool! The trail was about 2 miles and it had a great view from the top of the mountain. It overlooked the 

Snake River as it winds through the lower snake river valley. We also stopped by Big Judd's on the way and got some ice cream, yummy! 

On Monday we went apartment shopping. We walked around Rexburg for about two hours but we made some great progress. I'm so glad Anthony is on top of all of this stuff or we would probably be living in a cardboard box during the summer. 

Wednesday we drove to my grandparents lodge in Altonah, Utah, and we met up with some of my immediate family; Darcy, Derek, Scott, Katie, and my little nephew Luke. It was great seeing them for the holidays. Thursday was great!  We had a delicious Thanksgiving dinner and got to relax while we were there. Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa! 

Now its back to school...
