It has been waaayy too long since I have blogged and I told myself I would try and blog at least once a month..FAIL! But, in my defense, I have been told that I need to write in my journal at least once a week; to share my feelings and all that jazz. If you knew me you would know how hard that is for me. So blogging and jornaling at the same time is a bit of a challenge. But nevertheless, I have come to tell all about my awesome weekend. It was jam-packed with all kinds of adventures and playing with family and friends.
It all started on Thursday. I trusted Melissa to bring my car up to me on campus so that we could hurry into Idaho Falls and do some shopping! And to top it off, Caitlin decided to skip class to come with us! A girl's day of shopping in Idaho Falls: AMAZING! The reason we picked this day for our shopping trip was because we had to pick up Melissa's brother from the airport because we was visiting for the weekend! It was really exciting to finally meet the brother that Melissa kept talking about and it was great to get to see the two of them together. You could tell how much they had missed each other and how much love in their family they had. That was part of the whole reason this weekend was so spectacular. Also because we got to go to Big Judd's for dinner too :) The 6 of us, Matt, Tyler, Brock, Melissa, Caitlin, and me, ended up becoming better friends than we were before because we spent the entire weekend together. We went to Big Judd's for dinner on Thursday, Craigo's for lunch on Friday, Ice Caves, and shooting as well. You can imagine how crazy the 6 of us would be together because of how crazy we are individually :) Yeah, that craziness got us into a bit of trouble this weekend too. We got 'repremended' at Craigo's for being a bit loud (something in our nature and entirely unable to avoid most of the time). Also on the drive from Matt's to Caitlin's apartment we got pulled over by a cop because we were sitting on Matt's toolbox and not in the bed of the truck. Big no no! Twice in one hour has got to be some kind of record or something! the third time (in one weekend? really?) was when we were driving home from the Ice caves and totally didn't know the speed limit was reduced so we were going 50 in a 35...But the cop only flashed his lights as a warning. LUCK!
The ice caves were probably the biggest adventure we went on. It was caves full of ice all year round. And you crawl through tight spaces and big caverns and long thin sections to get to the end where it is a big hill of ice that we slid down for a bit. Aside from my fear because of claustrophobia and the 'rat' that I saw crawling on our way back (it was just a muskrat they told me later but it still made me scream like a girl), it was a great adventure and (for the most part) I was glad I went :)
Finally, we went shooting on Saturday night, in the dark, by truck headlights. But it was still a fun adventure because, lets face it, when it shooting not a fun thing to do? :) After shooting Melissa decides she wants Kiwi Loco! Crazy girl always wants ice cream when it's cold out. Go figure :)
All in all, it was a crazy weekend, and we all have the bruises and scrapes to prove it. And of course, PHOTOS! To be added once I steal them from Caitlin's camera later :) The only damper that was put on our weekend was the Crazy snowfall we got on Friday! I hate snow and so of course this didn't make the weekend better, but it was still a great weekend. Despite the snow making it feel like mid-December instead of November.
