All I can think about

So my mom is coming into town in a few days and I almost feel that I need a bigger house to clean so that I can stay distracted until she gets here. I am so excited to show her my apartment and how small it is. I am excited to play games with more than just me and Luis. Late at night we've been playing a lot of Yahtzee, Rummy, and Sequence. They are all fun and each time we play is a new adventure. But the rotation of three games gets kind of old, especially playing with the same two people every time. So...any ideas? Any games that are on the cheaper end? HELP!!!

Our summer is coming...

So it's been a while since we have posted anything, and since it's the weekend before finals I am getting tired of studying and so now is the perfect time to blog. Only three days this next week and we get a 7 week break! Well, a break from some things, but not from all. Luis is taking 2 online religion classes, we are both studying for the GRE (our plan is at least 4 hours a day), I am applying to PA school (scary!!!), I hope to shadow a few PAs in town, and we both hope to have a little bit of fun on this break. We are going home the first week of August to visit family and friends and are so excited! We get to go camping for a few days with some of my family and go kayaking! And this is the perfect week to go home because Luis' mom has that week off from work. And before we leave, my mom is flying in this saturday to enjoy the wonders of Rexburg. I am so excited to take her through the temple, show her the cool parks around here, and have her meet some really amazing people.

During the 4th of July, we had a four day weekend and so decided to visit Yellowstone for the first time. Our friend John came along and he made the trip even more fun. We wanted to camp in the park, but it was full (on a wednesday night!!) So we decided to camp down this long road that supposedly had campgrounds at the end of it. We never reached the end of that road, so we just camped for free. Fine by me! So here are a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.
