89 degrees and counting

Dear friends,

Rexburg Idaho is increasing in temperature and it is now uncomfortable to be inside at all. Do to that fact when Carly and I arrived home friday night we decided that we should sleep outside. The cool air felt great after a long hot day.

In honor of my awesome roommates!!!

Bridge Jumping

About 1:30 the afternoon of July 5th 2010 I was invited to go with a small group of people to a bridge and jump. Heres the thing. Jumping off a bridge is not on my bucket list. I don't even have a bucket list. However after a few minutes of persuasion and reassuring that I wouldn't even have to jump I consented to go out to an unknown destination and sit in the sun. As I sat in the sun and watched a few people jump 15 feet into the water I decided to get up and jump. It didn't look so bad and I wasn't really scared so I stood up on the lower rung of the bridge and jumped. I jumped of a bridge!!!

Freedom

God Bless America

And those who died for freedom

Coeur d'Alene Idaho

Being in school for and extended period of six months with only a week break can really eat at your nerves. All the stress was getting to us. We needed to get away. Forth of July weekend, what should we do? At first is was just one of those suggestion that you throw out just to keep the ideas flowing but then it really happened. Carly and I were going to a spa. Yup a real live spa. In Coeur d'Alene Idaho. Oh yeah it was really fancy. We left yesterday (july 2nd) around noon. The drive was crazy. We were jammin' out to all kinds of songs. Dancing and laughing and having a great time. We drove all afternoon and arrived at the amazing Coeur d'Alene spa and resort. It was like driving into a small village with its court yard that surround the giant castle. We were on vacation! We left all our cares and worries at the door. No thinking about anything. No school work, no boys, nothing this was about us! We wandered around the lake that evening, so beautiful, I couldn't take it all in. And the beds! The Best! Ya'll know that I can sleep anywhere anytime but this was something else! As soon as my head hit that pillow I was gone; sound asleep until the next morning.

Oh Saturday morning, SPA TIME!!! Massages and facials!! WOW!!! Words can't describe.

We left that afternoon. I slept most of the ride back, good thing I was getting cranky to much travel. We stopped that night in Idaho Falls to meet some friends and watch the fireworks. And sat in the car watching a movie while traffic died down arriving home at 1:30 in the morning.

The sad endings to a beautiful getaway!
