it's the little details. . .

I just got home from running with Becky. It was a really good run. We ran to the Y parking lot and then ran home, but we stopped in at my grandma and grandpa's house to say goodmorning. The sun hit the east face of the moutains and it glowed pink and firey. I'm excited for today.

Last night I invited my companion (hna. Parker) and her boyfriend, Brian, Deaner, Becky and Cherise over for dinner. It was so fun. I tried to make homemade rolls, but they wouldn't rise very well. We had salad (courtesy of Becky), salmon, potatoes and apple crisp. Then I went up to campus to play the french horn.

I talked to Zak last night as well. It was so fun to talk to him.

Weekend Blueprint

SO the plan:

Friday we drive up at about 4:00. Arrive in Idaho Falls at 7:30ish. We can maybe go swimming at my uncles indoor pool that night, make apple crisp on my grandma's fire pit and then spend the night at Svens or drive up to Rexburg to lessen the driving time on Sat. up to Targhee.

Saturday: snowboard. SWEET! I want to head over to Jackson maybe that night to eat and play around. Maybe we could go to Green Canyon or something. Then I was thinking we could spend the night at Badger Creek in those cabins, in my grandmas or Uncles cabin in Swan Valley, or in that Cabin that that guy Sven knows in Driggs. Or we could head to rexburg/IF

Sunday: Church, cook, eat, play, chill, visit people (I have old companions in Rexburg I want to see)

Sunday night: spend the night in Driggs, Swan Valley or Tetons. Go cross country skiing on the Jackson side of the tetons.

Drive back home.

Please give input. I want to know where everyone's at and what's going on.

Back to the days of erasers and bugs

I wish my only concern right now were bad haircuts and creating sculptures out of daddy's scrap wood pile.

Paying homage to Nebo

I'm the one in the green coat

Friday night after my hour nap, I awoke and threw my trail mix and water in my day pack and took off to meet at the ORC. The guide obviously did not want me to go and after some discouraging comments finally relented his female-hiker bais (I decided not to rub it in when I greeted him as he stumbled to the summit. . .oh dear, that was a bit prideful ey?). . .we actually began the trail (which wasn't a trail at all, but rather hiking straight up the mountain) at 2am and summitted at about 11am the next day. It probably could have been done a bit faster, but I was grateful that the pace wasn't grueling. Afterward, we glisaded down the mountain, occasionally pulling a self-arrest with our ice axes (and probably detatching the head of my humerous from the gleniod cavity of the scapula with the momentum) to stay on course. It was a blast, but I was exhausted. I arrived home at 4:30, took a shower and went straight to work bloodshot and sun-burned.

Sunday was amazing. I felt well rested and church was amazing!! Elder Bednar's CES fireside was phenomenal. Afterward I ate dinner with Brian and then headed to Becky's to spend the night with her and Mare. Sweet as.
