Jess comes to town

\

 

 

This weekend Jess came to visit me in Rexburg. It was so much fun to have her and i was so grateful that she would make the long trip to see me. We had so much fun together laughing and loving. We went to a party with her friends from her mission on friday, went to the william joseph concert, she cut and colored my hair i got to take her to my favorite spot in town the cocoa bean and we just had a blast being together. I love her so much and am so grateful for her friendship and love. 

Teton Time

Happy Memorial Day to all. Today i went and hiked part of the Grand Tetons. what i thought would be an hour hike was actually more like 3 hours to the top and 1 back down.. It was so beautiful and sunny. Hard at times to hike through the  mud and snow but it was a fun adventure. got some great pictures and it was a great memorial day memory.

Rob and Me

In Rexburg engagement is an often occurrence. in our apt we usually have wedding announcement hung and of course i always observe the photography and classic "engagement poses". The other night my new found friend came over and we happened to have matching shirts on. What started as just a quick snapshot soon turned into a fake engagement photo shoot we laughed really hard and had a blast pretending to be in love. Here are some of the shots we came up with. 

Roller Skating

For our family home evening group we went roller blading at the outdoor arena here in rexburg. It was so much fun and i had a blast getting whipped, stunting, playing frisbee and laughing. Love my FHE family we have a blast together. Here are a few pics from the night that my cute friend Myra took. 

Road Trip to Provo

This past weekend my roommate Rachel and I decided to take a trip down to Provo to visit some friends of ours. Jessie was down there and so i especially wanted to see her. It was such a fun trip. Rachel and i burned some great cd's for the trip down, danced and sang the whole 4 hours. I got to see so many people that i have missed. Of course the highlight was to see Jessie, Rachel, Leah, Logan, Evan, Braiden Kingsford, Baby Jackson, My aunt Diane and uncle Dave and i met a few new friends over the weekend as well. Highlights of the trip included eating at Spaghetti factory, Cafe Rio, Shopping at Forever 21, Playing football, playing at the arcade, and just being with the people i love and miss. 

Aunt Diane Comes to Town

So its a highlight for me when anyone comes to Rexburg, especially my aunt Diane when she comes on business! She took me to frontier pie for dinner and then we went to the Cocoa Bean our favorite spot in town to enjoy a cupcake together! I love my aunt and it was so fun to have her come to visit me! 

Mother Dear I Love You SO

Happy Mothers Day to My most magnificent Mom- she has taught me so very much. She has been an incredible example to me and has made my life wonderful. She has made so many fun memories with me and has sacrificed so much to make me happy in every way. Here is a list of the top ten things i love about my mom-

1.  I love laughing with her. I love those moments when we all could loose our tempers but we laugh instead!  and most of all I love making her laugh. I love when she wheezes thats when i know I've really succeeded.  

2. I love listening to music and dancing with my mom. She has got the moves unlike any other mom. The "crank" is my personal favorite! 

3. I love our mutual love for photography- taking pictures together and of each other

4. I love the creativity that flows from my mom. She has such an edge and talent for Art and design principles She has taught me so much in that department.

5. I love her righteous example of reading her scriptures daily. She has read 2 chapters a day for the past 5+ years without missing a day. She has taught me the importance of living righteously and the happiness that comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ

6. I love my mom's cooking In the past year of school i have really come to appreciate that. She has such a talent for baking and cooking. Its the Italian blood in her- i hope that kicks in for me soon.

7. I love how loving and tender she is with me. When she plays with my hair and hugs me- and the nights when there are thunder storms she stays awake with me until i fall back asleep

8. I love what a hard worker she is in all aspects of life.

9. I love how unselfish and willing to share she is. She is so generous and always willing to serve.

10. I love how much fun she is with making life special- holidays, birthdays, parties, and events she always knows how to bring the magic and fun. She has made my joy complete fun.

I love you mom and appreciate the sacrifices you have made for me and for being my friend. Happy Mothers Day 2009 I am so lucky to have you!
