Winter Semester has ended!

Recent thoughts:
Oh the joys of my YOUTH are so evident right now... enduring finals to get credit for courses that apply toward nothing other than nursing schools that "regret to inform" me I've been REJECTED, packing up every item I own every 3 months so I can scrub down another old apartment, and drive hundreds of miles alone to move back in with the parents to go to the same ole creeper-filled singles ward where I have no friends...

Now with all that self-pity in mind, you can better understand how happy it made me to take a week break. Before driving home to work all summer, I took a road trip with Dustin, Sam and their roommate Brant. They decided not to shave for the week so they all look extra hairy. I made 3 rules for the trip with the boys: #1- No farting, #2- No burping, #3- Remember I'm a girl! (They did a pretty good job up until the very end!)
Here's a recap of the best week ever:

Sunday: drove from Rexburg to St. George, stayed at Dustin's cousin's.
On the way down we saw a sign for a historical site in the middle of nowhere so we hopped out to stretch and look around. We were at Cove Fort which is apparently a church site, so the missionaries gave us a tour.

Sam is next to me on the left, Brant is the bald one on my other side and Dustin is the one on the end.
Monday: St. George to Las Vegas

4-wheeling and cliff jumping

Spent the evening roaming Caesar's Palace and the Bellagio! So much to look at! (I'd never been to Vegas) Slept @ Dustin's Aunt's in Vegas.

Tuesday: Drove from Las Vegas to Temecula (inbetween L.A. and San Diego) to stay with Liz

Spent the rest of the day at the park, went a movie that night

Wednesday: Baptisms @ the San Diego Temple

Mexican Food - Mmmmm delicious flautas!

Afternoon: playing in the ocean/sand, Bonfire and dinner on the beach


Thursday - Six Flags: Magic Mountain (met up with my roommate Catherine)

Friday - Met up with a friend to take out her Jet Skiis in San Diego. Its all about WHO you know :)

Left San Diego, drove forever and arrived at Dustin's Aunt's @ 4am in Highland Utah. We drove through the night because we wanted to jet ski but our friend was getting married in Utah in the next morning.

Saturday - John Tidwell's Wedding: Salt Lake Temple

We went to the luncheon and then drove back to Rexburg from there. So there it is!

I turned off my phone for most of the trip so my fun could not be interrupted. I ate whatever I wanted. I didn't think about school or grades or work or any form or reality. All that with my closest friends! :) I'm one blessed bird!
