A Visit From The Parents

     The seven week break in Rexburg can get pretty lonely, especially when you have only one roommate and you are both on opposite schedules and maybe see each other two or three times a week. I have spent a lot of time not really doing much. My days include going to work, catching up on my latest show, reading, going to the gym, and going to sleep. It's pretty mundane. Every once in a while something exciting will happen, but Rexburg is pretty much a ghost town this time of year.
     Lucky for me I have the best parents in the entire world who came all the way from Connecticut to spend a few days here in Rexburg. It was so fun having them here and showing them around my town, granted it took a total of 5 minutes but it was still fun.
     The fires in Soda Springs, Washington, and Boise kind of messed up our plans a bit because of the smoke but we were still able to see some of the great things in and surrounding Idaho. We took a day trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, walked around the shops, of course took a picture at the Antler Arch, and had a yummy dinner.

     We also took a trip up to Yellowstone National Park. It was a gorgeous day. Saw everything from buffalo to elk, Old Faithful and the hot pools. Then we pulled off and hiked to Ferry Falls. None of us were expecting to hike that day, especially me, and let me tell you white converse are NOT hiking shoes. All in all it was worth it.

     It is hard having my parents so far a way while I am at school and I rarely get to see them so it was fun to have them come out for a visit for a few days. The next time I will see them again they will be back in Rexburg, but this time in the dead of winter for my graduation. You know that your parents love you when they commit to coming to Rexburg in December.

"I love you to the moon and back."
