Ropes course

I went on a date to the ropes course we have in Rexburg. I was a little scared, but it turned out all right. I'm still here. I did have to sign a waiver in case I came crashing down...





Scary but fun. My heart dropped when I let go of the rope, but it was a blast! Oh yeah and I climbed one of the logs(not the dangling ones) in the background before this. Very challenging. It took all I had and that wasn't even enough! I was sore and numb from the cold rain. haha It was an experience!

If you think this picture looks awkward that's because it is. We had to swing on a rope from one platform to a log. The log was marked off and we were supposed to get everyone in between the markers. I was the last person to go and there wasn't any room left so this is what happened... I held on for dear life.

For this little team building activity you had to lean all of you weight on the other person as you slid along two ropes that got farther and farther away. We almost made it to the end!

dang squirrels

Okay, so let me just say that the squirrels around here are entirely too domesticated. They feel that they have the right to sit right outside our apartment door as if we're going to feed them. AND when I bang the broom in their face they just stare at me. They don't run- they stare, then they get closer as if they will attack.

FHE with President Erying

President Eyring came to our FHE! Probably the coolest thing ever. A girl in our ward signed us up to have FHE with Pres. Clark. It just so happened that President Eyring was going to be speaking the next day (Tues.) at devotional, so he was going to come to our family home evening with Pres. Clark. It was a question/answer kind of deal. It was so great to be in his presence. He is just so down to earth. Sometimes I forget that the Apostles and Prophet are just people too. Well, not just people, but you know what I mean.
