Memorial Day

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people are gone for the long weekend. I contemplated going to Provo for a few days but decided to get some stuff done in Rexburg.
And it was a great decision.
Friday we hung around my house and did homework. We're wild, I know. Then we decided to hit up our favorite new place to eat, Kari Anne's! It is an Italian ice/Frozen custard place that makes me want to melt.
Get it?
We invited a couple new friends to come with us and enjoy this AMAZING gelati! It was fun to have there company and get to know them!
We LOVE Karie Anne's!
After that Ashley, Haley, Hannah and I came back to 315 to watch a movie but it soon turned cray when someone started playing music and we jumped from bed to bed. All of Hannah's roommates were gone except our friend Emily so we could be as loud as we wanted to, so we took advantage of that.
Saturday morning we decided to go to the temple. I had never been to the Rexburg temple (i know, it's awful) and I had not been to the South Carolina temple since July 2012. It was so good to finally get back. We went at 9:30 and it was not crowded at all so we were in and out in an hour! I loved the temple so much and am going to try to go once a week.

Trip to the temple with these lovely ladies.
After the temple we drove to Mesa Falls an hour away. I have never even heard of them but knew they were some beautiful water falls by Ashton, Idaho.
I love Idaho but I also hate it sometimes too. This roadtrip to the falls though made me LOVE Idaho. It was such a pretty drive that ended with the most amazing waterfall I have ever seen! Literally almost passed out. So worth the trip to get there.

My Loves.
Such a fun day.

Road tripping is the best

You know me, just reacting Titanic...solo.
Since our wonderful friend Taylor Serge was in Utah this weekend and Emily was on a date, we had no access to a car for Saturday night. We decided to sign up for a We Car.
Yes, if you saw a red We Car yesterday, that was us. We are those people.
We were craving Chick-fil-a (southern girl probsss) so we drove to Idaho Falls. This was the first time I had driven since March and it felt amazing.
Also if you saw a red We Car yesterday that was swerving and running stop signs, that was me.
We ate and went shopping, it was so fun just to get out of Rexburg and into a "city" or what Idaho calls a city.
Pure Bliss.
Monday morning we were invited to play football by some guys in our ward. We went and were the only girls that showed up!
 I don't know much we helped out but, actually that's a lie, I know we didn't help anyone win anything. We just ran around and say things like "Good hustle" or "Keep up with the quarterback" or "do the defence."
The point is my team lost.
But we had a blast and went to Costa Vida afterwards so it was all good.
We then went to hike the R. BYU-Idaho used to be Ricks College and there was a painted R on the side of the mountain that has overgrown now but it is still a beautiful hike.
I am not going to lie, I thought I was going to die on the way up. I was just going to lie on the hill and wait for sweet death.
But it got better and reaching the top and seeing the view was totally worth it! We ran around and climbed all the different rocks and took pictures.
I plan on doing it again soon, not too soon because i'm still sore.
Monday night was the Bachelorette, so we made sure we were all home and ready! We cooked hotdogs and had a little dinner while watching these sled dog boys try to win over Des!
But seriously they are not cute.
Reached the top surpisingly.

We won.






It has been a bomb couple days in the state of potatoes and dreams.

Just kidding about the dreams.
