REXBURG...what what!

So, this last weekend, Richard and his cousin decided to go on a "man trip" down to St. George so I decided to go visit Bree up in Rexburg, ID. We had a blast! My drive up there was relaxing and I got there about 2:30 on Friday. We hung out, went to the store for the essential groceries and went to dinner on campus at The Crossroads, then Bree's apartment was invited over to a boys apartment to enjoy a night of kareoke. I haven't had that much fun doing kareoke in a long long time. We came home and hung out for a bit and then went to bed.

Can I just put in a plug for my sisters roomies. They are all so much fun, and they love when I am around, which makes me feel GREAT! They are all fun to be around and I am glad that my sister is able to live in an apartment full of fun girls! Now I am done with that!

On Saturday I got up around 9 and Bree got up at 10. We ate breakfast and got ready, then headed off to Idaho Falls. As we were approaching IF (short for Idaho Falls), I asked Bree if she knew where to go, and sure enough she didn't...haha taking after her older sister! So my mom got a call, she got on the trusty ol' internet and helped us out a bit. We were actually a lot closer than we thought. We were shooting for the mall, to do a little Christmas shopping. That was fun, we found all the things we wanted for a GREAT price, they were having AMAZING sales. Then we shot over to the Dollar Tree, to find some fun goodies for the roomies and then over to Wal-Mart where we bought a few other essentials. I then got a call from my good friend Cristine, who I haven't seen in FOREVER, and we decided to go out to dinner at TGIFridays. Her sister Brittany came as well. The four of us had a blast! Then off and home to Rexburg we went.
Saturday night was fun, we just relaxed, made some orange rolls and watched The Proposal (which is a fabulous movie, if I do say so myself). I love being with my sister.

Sunday was a happy, early day! We went to church at 9:30 and that was fun. Singles/Student ward...all over again! :) Then we came home and had a snack and off I went, back home, to see my amazingly handsome husband. Well it started to snow about one hour into the drive and I found out that my windshield washer fluid doesn't like 5 degree weather...hmmm...who does? So since that was frozen I got to get off the freeway a couple of times to wash off my windsheild! yeay!! Then about 2 hours into the drive my car started making a clinking noise...I was worried at first but then I figured it sounded like a loose lugnut, which we have been working on lately, so I didn't think anymore about it. Then when I was in about Sandy (in Salt Lake), my car started making a really fun noise...eeek! I got off the freeway and called my husband, don't worry...I was crying. About 45 minutes later he showed up, we took the car on a test ride, Richard didn't like the sound of it, and so we drove 50 miles an hour, with our hazard lights on, down the freeway. The car was getting worse at about Lehi, so I got off the freeway and sure enough, right on state street my car wouldn't go forward anymore! NO WAY...NO BUDGE. So long story short, a tow truck came to get us, and after thinking it was the transmission we found out it was actually a brake problem and it was Big-O's fault. So they fixed it all this morning, for free, and life is all good again! Big-O even paid for the towing cost. Yeay for us! So after being stressed and thinking I was going to be home at 6:30, and not getting home until 10:15...life is good again! :)

Now we are on our way to a Jazz Game...stay tune for that! :) Loves!
