THE BEATLES

Rexburg Idaho, became the center of the eastern part of Idaho tonight when the acclaimed musical group called "1964 The Tribute" came to town. They are basically The Beatles reincarnated. Literally. They look, sound, dress, play, talk, etc. like the Beatles. It was awesome. So scott and I waited forever and stood inline to get a spot on the grass. We put a blanket down and had snacks, and danced like crazy to the music. It was an amazing concert. It felt like we were at a real live Beatles concert. They are awesome. They played all their hits, and I knew pretty much all of them, thanks to my parents who made sure that growing up I knew the classics. I called my dad, he could barely hear me, but still wished and related how much he loved those when he was growing up, and wished he could be there again to feel just like a teenager. Scott's mom Patti, shared that she was one of the 12 million girls that would scream, and run down as fast as they could down to the stage.

Well like idiots we forgot the camera, but I got some pictures offline.

rain rain go away

Well rexburg has not hit summer yet. We have been having cold weather and rain for the past 2 weeks really. Memorial day was a rain storm and they have all been heavy rain. Rexburg is no longer a desert. haha. But we continue to hope for good weather.

We have started the Netflix program, and love it, highly reccomend it. We get unlimited movies in a month, and get them just about every other day. So I get to see lots of new movies and some of my old favorites. The past weekend we got one of my favorites, its Frankenstein, the hallmark version, and its based on my favorite book by Mary Shelley. Scott just read the book, so we rented the movie.

We got a great surprise visit from an old friend. Our friend Ryan Tibbets, who was scott's roommate, and you can say "bussum friend" these boys did everything together, and they were rommmates for the 4 semesters until scott and I got married. Ryan was not to happy with me when he found out I was going to steal Scott away forever. But he graciously stepped down and let me take scott. HAHA. But Ryan graduated in December, went to Vegas to student teach, now is living in Utah and came up for the 3 day weekend, and we got to hang out with him and his friends. It was awesome. We went and saw The Forbidden Kingdom, with Jackie Chan, and Jet Li. It was a halarious movie and really really good. We got a coupon to the dollar theater and went out and used it.

Midterms are almost here, and its crazy to think that we are half way done with the semester already. We are also registering for classes soon, and its crazy. But I am excited to be moving along with school and getting done sooner. I am about 4 1/2 semesters from graduating. So its really exciting!

Sunny day in Rexburg

Well it is one of the first nice days out in rexburg, and everyone is taking advantage of it. We started out the day by sleeping IN !!!!!! then we worked at the temple from 1030-200. What a great way to start the saturday. The Broulims' the local groceries store was having a party, and was giving out free ice cream and cotton candy. And hot dogs were 4/1.00. So scott and I went have enjoyed our selves you could say.

Then took some old bread we had and went and fed the ducks at Nature Park, was so much fun, they took a liking to scott a lot, maybe because he had all the food.
here are some pictures for everyone.

Snow Snow Snow

Rexburg got some snow this moring. It was about 60 yesterday, and woke up this morning it was snowing outside. The snow has come and gone today. It will snow for about 20 min, get to about 50, then snow some more.



So scott and I went on a date Friday night and saw Iron Man. By FAR...the coolest movie ever. Loved IT! EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS MOVIE. Its really great.

So I am officially tired of reading text books now. But its all good. People have stopped making plans for memorial day, because of how messed up the weather has been. So no idea yet what we are going to do yet.

School...School...School

Well we are officially in the school mode. We come home do homework all night, go to bed, repeat the next day. It is fun seeing the difference between my homework and his. The difference in the majors. Mine is A LOT of reading, for I am a Sociology major and a Humanities minor. Scott is a graphic designer. So what does our homework consists of, me...sitting down reading and taking notes all night. Scott getting to draw all night!!!! But he gets really tired of it fast, because its detail drawing. But oh well.

Rexburg has finally shown signs of summer and end of winter. Oh yeah, by the way, there are only 2 seasons in Rexburg. Winter, and the 4 months of summer, before it becomes winter again. We finally got out of the 30 degree weather into the 60's today! hurray!

Have already been loosing the weight that was put on from the break from school. Forgotten how much you loose just by walking to campus and around all day. Now that we live even farther away from campus. We walk a lot further. But it is great excercise.

Here are the pictures that i promised from the apartment, there are not many, and they are not great.
but here they are



This is me smiling at the door, about to open it!



This is our living room. I will add more when its completely furnished.




And this is our pantry. Its huge and I love. I dont know if we will ever completely stock this thing. But we will see.
