WHOS in Rexburg?





Cup wrapped up in hair + taped-up noses = Four crazy WHOS! Unfortunately, Steph's nose would not cooperate 100%, but we got some good ones of her nevertheless! Suzanne(the one in green) had the greatest nose for this! Great stuff.

Packing.

Oh the joy of packing! This semester I was not going to procrastinate and leave all the packing AND cleaning for the last night. It was the WORST night of my life, along with my other roommates who did the same. For some reason we also thought it would be okay to go out to dinner. Worst idea ever. We were much smarter this time around and went to get ice cream the night before we all left. I started packing on Monday, so I could relieve some stress. It is pretty ridiculous how much stuff I have acquired over two semesters. I never look forward to packing it all up and moving it to storage. One of these days I'll widdle it down to maybe three or four boxes- compared to my seven boxes, two suitcases, and army duffel bag. I guess I'm just a girl!

Face squeeze





So not only did my roommate Brittany get a kick out of tickling us( all the time), she also loved to take our faces in her hands smoosh them together, grit her teeth and say "oooo I just love you so much!" I decided she needed a good face squeeze herself. She's hilarious and always made our apartment more cheery! Love that woman!

Slobbery Kisses



I was finally able to experience an Eli Kiss! He is now a walker, talker, and can amuse himself with his many cars and trucks. He has changed a lot since I last saw him! I love this little boy! What a fun thing it is to have him around.

Copycat

So I thought I'd just follow in my sister's footsteps and join the blogger world. It seemed like a fun idea and has been harder than I thought to come up with a name, template, etc. I'll probably end up changing it quite often. I got home Saturday night from Rexburg. Longest day. Ever. My lovely roommate, Stephanie and I took the beloved Salt Lake Shuttle to the SLC airport. We got up at 6:30-ish after going to bed at 4 and hopped on around 8. I'm just glad I had her shoulder to lay on. Whew! When we got to the airport it took us forever to find the Delta check in. It wasn't until I asked the nice, bubble gum bubble blowing, Twilight reading, customer service lady with her legs propped up on the desk that we learned it was in another building! When we checked in I learned that my bag was 72 pounds. Yeah, this is what I was expecting. What I wasn't expecting was to pay 80 BUCKAROOS! It's better than the 150 dollar offer I was given at first. He said that if I could get it under 70 pounds it would only be $80. What do they do with this money anyways? I was highly annoyed.I actually wanted to cry. Maybe I should have. The Delta worker next door told me to just take it out of "daddy's bank account". Pssh! What kind of a girl do I look like? Anyways, I am just so grateful I had Steph to keep me company for three hours before my flight. There was this Romanian airport worker who parked this elderly woman he was helping next to us. He was really talkative and started to tell us that he had 48 quarters and was asking how many he needed. This was all I heard so I chimed in and using my fingers proceeded to tell him that four quarters equalled 1 dollar. He looked at me and was like "no! I know that!" I guess he was actually just wondering how many states there were because he was collecting the state quarters. I am getting so sick of flying back and forth to Rexburg, but I always meet interesting people along the way!
