Its good to go home

I have been home for two weeks now for Christmas Break, and I am ready to go back to Rexburg! But, its nice to go home once in a while to see that many things don't ever change. Like downtown. Yesterday I went with my two sisters, nieces and nephew to go feed the ducks in downtown Spokane after we rode the giant red wagon. Then we rode the carousel which was so much fun.
Here are some IPOD pics:)

 The ducks really liked us! 

 Spokane never changes, these blocks have been here since... forever:)

Things to be happy about:)

• family
• my testimony of Jesus Christ
• new music... free new music
• outdoors
• fresh starts. i could really use one right now
• job opportunities!!!

Exercise... Its good for ya:D

So this past weekend I went to Jackson Hole WY through the BYU-Idaho Outdoor Activities Group. Super fun! I kind of spontaneously decided I wanted to go rock climbing, so I signed up the night before. After I got there I realized I was crashing a serious manfest. Out of 12 people, there was me and one other girl. And she didn't talk to me at all. So yeah, lots of boys. And they all sounded like they knew what they were doing, which scared me a bit because I have only gone a few times.
It was just under 2 hours to drive to Jackson, and the drive was beautiful.

It was also lots of fun to talk with the guys in the car. I found out that Kevin is my musical soul mate. I love his music! But, by the time we go to the gym, I decided he was a bit obnoxious. He dragged me to all the walls he climbed and talked about how difficult they were to climb... ya de ya da. 
But, the rest of it was really nice and fun because I kept getting the guys walking up to me and offering to belay me. Really nice, but nerve racking at the same time. Because they are on the floor and they can stare up at me and wham, my butt is in their face.  I have a big butt. My dad likes to call me "Tex" because my butt is the size of Texas (one of the biggest states in the U.S). So they aren't actually looking at me from my best angle. Whatever, I guess I am not looking for a boyfriend right now anyways:D

Jacob was a lot of fun to watch as he climbed this beast. He eventually made it all the way to the top!

Ben told me he had never rock climbed before. He was really good!

Then when we got back to Rexburg there was a beautiful sunset:)

Basically, this weekend was pretty awesome. I am genuinely really happy with life right now.( Except that it was -3 when I walked to my 9 o'clock class this morning)
