Island Park, St. George, and much, much more....!

We have done a lot of fun stuff lately and have been really busy. We were on the road for a couple of weeks in a row and I told Taylor it was time to stay put for a while. We went to Island Park and stayed at Uncle Dwight's cabin with Barry and Sam Christensen and their little boy Warren. It was a fun get away weekend. We ate great food, stayed up late playing games and went snowmobiling. It was beautiful, but still so much snow, in some spots you could barely see the tops of the stop signs.

We also went to St. George a few weekends ago with my brother John and his wife Rachael. It was a blast to be in the nicer weather. We played outside, played games, stayed up late, watched a lot of movies, went mini-golfing, visited with my grandparents, and played with my cute nieces. Taylor and I decided to drive down to Vegas one day. It was such a treat for me! Taylor spoiled me and took me to the outlets. I got some killer deals, my favorite being a dress from Banana Republic.

Taylor's sister Paige is super talented. She is in the Bluegrass band at BYU-Idaho. They had a concert last week and it was fantastic. Go Paige!





We are planting a garden this year. The Wray's have been so generous and are letting us plant it in their yard. I am so excited. I love gardening and being outside. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Taylor has been selling compost so I think it's going to be awesome.

And finally, pictures of our apartment. It is a sweet pad!

As for us. We are happy. Taylor is busy with school and has recently started 2 jobs. Selling compost and doing landscaping. Next week I start my last semester at BYU-Idaho. My internship has offered to let me work through the summer, so I will continue working at Teton Radiology/ Medical Imaging Associates in their marketing and advertising.

Finally a new post!

Things have been going well. Taylor went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago and I missed him dearly. I stayed here with Jill and Paige, and had fun girls time. We had a lot of fun and I am so lucky to have them close by, otherwise I think I would have been the loneliest soul on the planet. I went down to Utah to stay with my parents for the weekend. It was a blast being with my Mom and my little sister. I got spoiled and played tons with my nieces and nephews. Taylor finally came home late Saturday night. It was a fun weekend away.

March is here.



Nothing too exciting is going on this week. We are working, doing homework, getting to know our neighbors, visiting friends, watching Modern Family and much more. Taylor has a bunch of tests this week and played basketball with his friends. We are eating much healthier because we started Bountiful Baskets! This is our first week and we love it. There is a pickup about a block from our apartment. It makes for a fun Saturday morning outing. Taylor is excited to go to Las Vegas next week with his Dad and his brothers for the Basketball tournament. I will miss him a lot. Here are some random pictures we have taken over the past couple of weeks.

We went to Rexburg to visit our friends Adam and Andrea Balmforth. They had their first baby, Lincon last week. He is a beautiful boy.



This was the first time I met Jason and Tahnea Bird. They are Taylors good friends and are living in Nebraska going to Dental School.
