doink!

I did not realize how long it has been since I've written a new blog post! 

I was thinking I'd done one in December, but no no. My mom keeps bugging me to post, which partly makes me happy people care to read anything I've written (even if it is my mom, because she has to care). But I've kind of missed it I am realizing as I sit here writing. 

Much to catch up on. I will just do a nice recap for you of the past few months...

Finished Jekyll and Hyde and Scrooge 

(which ended up really being fun.. I miss the thespian life every now and then... a little..) 

Went to The Forgotten Carols with Rich... he just loved holding hands with the large man next to him during, "We will be together forever someday" 

Had a great Thanksgiving-- ate with my family first, then went horseback riding, then went and ate with Rich's family.

Worked a LOT in November and December since everyones benefits would run out before January.

Had a fantastic Christmas--the whole family was in Pocatello.

Visited the Museum of Clean which I would recommend to all, it is neat.

Had family pictures taken.. hasn't been done in like 7 years

Made Rich a book for Christmas, which I am quite proud of.

He gave me a BB Gun, a hilarious surprise and I have loved it. 

Been 4 wheeling and cooking hot dogs over the fire a number of times since it's been SO warm! 

Played Monopoly Deal over and over with friends, we love it. Great game.
Knocked down a light pole, not me..can't claim that feat but one of the friends did, see the pictures below :)
Rang in the New Year with a trip to IF to eat at Olive Garden, then visiting friends and getting our groove on at the dance for a little bit.
Basically just having a ton of fun. I am sad the holidays are over.. now it's back to school, work, and a blah January with no snow yet! I am dying to go skiing.. hopefully January won't disappoint me completely.

Yikes. We were all ready to go 4 wheeling in American Falls, a certain friend just needed to back his truck up to the trailer and get it hooked up, and we'd be on the road. Unfortunately, somewhere between "Reverse" and "safely hooking up the trailer," he hit a light pole! Knocked it clean over, all 30 feet of it. We heard it from inside the house, and about died laughing when we saw what had happened. Poor guy though... about 2 hours and a looming $1000 dollars later, it was all taken care of. They want to charge him 800 bones for a rotted light pole. This guy has fought a lot of tickets in his life and won though, so I'll keep you posted on if he ends up having to pay that.
