I also wanted to say that Joe and I, his friend, and his parents went to the Twin Falls Temple Open House on Monday! It was amazing! I went to the Rexburg open house too and even though the two look a lot alike on the outside, they are totally different on the inside. If you get the chance to go and see it you should!I am very excited because Joe's cousin is getting married in the Twin Falls temple two days after it is dedicated and is getting her endowment the day after it is dedicated. I'm so excited to be there and happy for them that their day will be even more exciting and special!
Joe and I went to Kimberly for a couple of days to visit a friend of his and his family. Yesterday we decided that we wanted to go to the hills to have a picnic. I was all for it the whole day until there was a big thunderstorm and lots of rain. I ended up going with them anyway and was miserable for the first part of the trip. It was pouring and I had capris on and my sweatshirt got soaked. I do like the rain but if I'm going to be out in it for any period of time I like to have some kind of shelter. We did manage to have a fire, but what good does the fire do if you're still getting wet standing by it?Anyway, the rain finally stopped and our friend came up with the idea that we should fling flaming marshmallows. Since it had been raining so hard it was okay because we weren't going to catch anything on fire. We all flung the whole bag of marshmallows. Our friend flung one that stuck on the side of a tree, which was pretty funny. Joe was trying to fling one and it landed on his shirt instead which was hilarious. Luckily he didn't start on fire or anything.I guess it turned out ok, even though I would have had a lot more fun if we had had a tent or something up there with us.I've been reading Emma by Jane Austen and they are always so worried that the women are going to catch a cold from a draft or something. I think its funny how different times are. No one really worries that they will have health problems from being out in the rain. Probably because modern medicine is so much better! I guess we're lucky!
So, I'm new to this blog thing and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I have seen others blogs and don't think that mine can measure up to how great everyone else's is!I called my mom today and she told me that my sister Abby's boyfriend (Nate) was at his mother's apartment when something scary started to chase him. He caught it in a jar and took it to my parents house. Well, it was a camel spider. They come from Iraq in people's equipment. I looked it up online and was horrified! I hope I never ever see one. They are not poisonous but they are flesh eaters!
