Our trip to Idaho was for my sanity! I never thought I would say this but I miss Idaho! It was great to hang out with friends and enjoyed a few home-cooked meals.


We started our trip off with a quick jaunt to American Falls... never heard of it? That's because it's a small farm town in Idaho. We stayed with my good friend Neva and her family. I enjoyed some girl talk while Robert got schooled on the Wii. I played Wii tennis and was, as usual, bad at any form of video game never mind how interactive it may be.


After our wonderful morning in American Falls we traveled to a place that for the last three years was my home, only to find that in the six short months I've been away the city has exploded in a state of growth. We had Thai food with some friends. Robert's old mission buddies P-Chan and Wille (and wife + the second most adorable baby in the universe!) were there.


My wonderful college buddies Sam and Laura were also there. Sam, who saved me from starving through college, made sure we did not starve on Sunday with her delicious soup. Laura and I went to the movies. We saw Bride Wars which was just the right amount of cheesy. Our mini vaction was just what I needed!


On another note over the course of Christmas vacation Robert had a little rebellion. He started to grow his very own beard. This picture was taken the day before Robert would have to shave the evidence off his face. I liked his beard a lot more than his mustache! I decided to grow a garden in our kitchen window. Well, it was actually only one flower which was supposed to bloom around Christmas but just popped up a few days ago. I think I might have a green thumb after all.
