Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip!



This past Memorial Day weekend was lots of fun! Saturday morning Scott, me, Brian and Mariah headed out to Mackey Idaho (pronounced Mack-ee). Saturday we went and toured the old mines and the ghost town in the mountains. 500 people used to live up there. That night it rained a little bit and we all went to bed a bit early. Sunday morning we made it to the church there and afterwards we went to the fault line where the valley floor sunk 6 feet and the mountain rose 6 feet from an earthquake. We talked to a guy there and he convinced us to go look for fossils. It was fun! Scary roads, but we survived. We continued driving between the mountains and Scott had his dream come true and we saw wild horned sheep up on the hill. That night we had banana boats that were delish and the weather was awesome. In the morning Mariah and Brian packed there things and we all went to see Craters of the Moon. It was crazy! This is where the hot spot that's under Yellowstone now, used to be millions of years ago. Apparently it's supposed to erupt within the next thousand years. It was so crazy, and they had a bunch of caves that we could adventure in. And there was so much lava! M and B went home after that, and then Scott and I went up to King Hill where people jump off in the hang gliders. We had our dinner and looked over the view. It was beautiful. We then went back to the camp and took a well deserved hot shower. Scott and I hung out and left in the morning. It was quite the weekend!!

Our move & New apartment!

So in no particular order, and some speak for themselves as to where and what they are. The second picture is our HUGE closet in our bedroom. The 6th picture is of our enormous pantry. You can see where Scott stuck our suitcases and everything! The couches on the lawn were just some of the ones that they had out there. We took one (and Scott still doesn't know that I have one!!) And the picture might be too small, but the one where Scott, Brian, and Spencer are putting the washer down, Brian's face is the perfect shot of agony. :D

April


It's April! Scott and I went to Utah for conference weekend. It was way to short! On Sunday Aunt Maudie, Uncle Gary, Danny & Shannon and their kids, and Kathy and Lee Dawald came to Patty's house. It was so much fun seeing them all again. We haven't seen them since the wedding. The Monday we got back from conference Brian and Mariah moved here. We've been with them ever since. Friday we went dumpster diving and it was great. We didn't get as much as what Brian and Mariah did, but we got enough! But this Thursday Scott and I are moving to our new apartment!! I'm really excited. But sad at the same time because the next day Scott is leaving for a competition in Washington, without me! So I will be in our new apartment all by myself! Sad. But the new semester starts next Monday- such a short break. The weather is finally warming up and we are getting these great spring showers. I can't wait for summer!

March!

Last weekend Katrina and her boyfriend Mark came to visit. The main point of their stay was to see Maren's baby (born Feb 3). But they stayed at our house and we had lots of fun! Friday night we stayed up playing one of our favorite games, Farkle! Saturday we went to Maren's, played racket ball, and went to a mystery dinner. We had someone make us dinner, and we didn't even know who it was! It was great, free food! Maren's baby is so cute! His name is Orsen. Sunday Katrina and Mark left, and we went to church. So it was a good weekend.
