Happy Birthday Eldon

Wow, so much to catch up and I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll keep up with the family and give a hearty happy birthday to my brother. He's pretty much the best brother I've ever had. As Tressa said we had a little birthday party of our own for my brother. Here are some pictures and videos for you...

BYU-Idaho.....It's good to be home

Well I have about an hour between my class and work so I thought I would write a quick post. Can I just say it feels SO GOOD to be back. I feel like I came home when we pulled in a few weeks ago. I love the campus at BYU-Idaho. Honestly I don't think there is anywhere else I would rather be. Working in the admissions office I am so blessed. I get the privilege to get an inside view of how things work at school. It is so comforting to know that every time we go into an admissions committee we begin with a prayer so we will know how to best serve our heavenly father's children.

I think that President Bednar coined a term that President Clark has kept going. They say that BYU-Idaho is a disciple training Center. I love that because I can say it is so true. Where else can you go to class and feel the spirit and receive revelation on things you've been praying about in Anatomy and physiology or Intro to social work? It is not an uncommon site to see some one chilling in the hallway of a building reading their scriptures and having a Gospel discussion. I have never been to BYU-Provo but I can say if you come to Idaho the cold winters and weird schedules are SO worth it.

Can I also just say how much I love the Rexburg temple? Last year after it was dedicated I was able to go once a week. SO nice! I missed spending my time in the temple SO much this fall when I was in MD. I really wanted to come back so I could go in between classes. It is such a good place to go and spend your time counseling with the lord.

Side note: I am in the library using a student computer and this girl started talking to a guy at the computer next to me. I turned and thought "hey, he is pretty good looking." I was totally planning on turning on the charm until the girl asked him to remind her of his name.

"Brady," he said and I said to myself "Nope!" and turned around. HA what is it with me being attracted to every man named Brad, Brady, or Bradley. OHY, my life. That should give you a laugh mom. LOL

New Years Day

Oh so many things to catch up on. I am really just going to post pictures cuz I don't have very many fun and exciting stories to tell. New years day Grandpa got us all it the car and we drove down to provo to visit our amazing aunt, uncle, and cousins. We love these people! Even though we love them I don't have any pictures to put up of them. I guess I was to busy enjoying my visit to think about taking a break for a photo shoot. I did however, snap some shots of us in the car. Eldon was at an awkward angle so he didn't make the cut. Sorry my boy.




After our visit grandpa wanted to drive Sarah around the Provo campus. He kept telling her that if he did she would want to transfer to provo. I had faith however that she knows and loves the spirit of ricks and would never turn to the dark side or Y mountian. I was right. She was however very impressed with the provo temple so we stopped for her to get a picture.


Later we visited with my aunt and uncle and their family on my dad's side. Once again no pictures but we had a good time. My uncle got a kick out of playing the part in his daughter's wedding video where Liz is giving advice and breaks out the H word. HA Whoa baby Liz! HA He would play it over and over again just laughing and pointing out the same thing every
time. Like "oh look at liz's face while your dad is giving his advice." Then during Liz's advice "Oh! OH! Look at your dad's face!" THen a huge BWAHAHAHA! LOL I love this man I call my uncle. He really is my favorite on in the whole bunch. I could hang out with him all day.
