Life in the Desert Sun: Trip to Idaho/Utah

Well, we made a trip back to Idaho after the new year and had a great time hanging out with family and friends while we were there. Somehow we managed to forget our camera at all the opportune times, so we only have a couple of pictures. There was plenty of Wii playing because my brother Eric brought their Wii, so my sisters kids were in heaven! Mo and Eric and I made a trip to Snowbasin for a day of skiing. It was a beautiful sunny day and the mountain was full of powder. Eric and Mo did great, but I think the powder kept swallowing me up. Sometimes it was just easier to fall over and lay in it for awhile! Eric and Mo went on the "Olympic" run, (that's where the downhill ski events were for the 2002 Olympics) but I took one look at that from the top (which was very pretty by the way), and said "Nice view, I think I'll take the tram back down where I can ski without fear for my life."

We were also able to view the Rexburg temple open house and check out where Brianna lives at BYU-I. We also walked around campus and reminiced about the "good times" at "Ricks". I made some great friendships there, but I still think it is so funny that so many people can go to school there and be hitched by one semester! It never made sense to me, but i've also never been much of a conformer, so that's probably why. Anyway, we spent the rest of the week visiting friends and family. We took a trip to Salt Lake to visit a few of Mo's relatives and thanks to Taci, we had a great party at her house catching up with old roommates! We spent the next day in Logan, visiting my grandparents and watching the great Aggie basketball team win that night! Here are a couple of pictures of our week.
