Adventure Is Out There

Happy Valentines Day!

One of my biggest pet peeves (or annoyances, or whatever else you want to call it) is when people refer to Valentine's Day as "Single Awareness Day" or they decide to be "pathetic" on this day. It's one day, people. And if you are single on this one day, chances are you are single every other day. So treat yourself to something special today! Do not let "the man" bring you down. Go serve and show love. Go try out something new. DO SOMETHING. 

And today that is what I did. I tried something new. Today Erica, Alex, and I went snowshoeing in the Tetons and it was beautiful!! I got the idea by seeing it on the BYU-Idaho's website. It was through the Outdoors Activities and only $10! We met up at the stadium at 9:45 am and then traveled maybe a hour and a half to the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. I love Wyoming!! It is so beautiful out there. It was perfect weather; not too cold and the sun was out. We snow-shoed about a hour and forty five minutes out and then back. We took a few detours, which coming back felt like death. We were so sore and we got a few blisters. However, it was such a fun experience! I think everyone should do it once in their lifetime! 

Being out in the snow and in nature, it made me even more trunky for Alaska! I thought about all these hikes and adventures I cannot wait to get back to in Alaska! I even thought about things I want to try when I get back to Washington! I want to be more adventurous and try new things. After we got back to Rexburg, Alex and I went to McDonalds because we were starving! Who would have thought snow-shoeing could make one so hungry! 

THROWBACK 2009

Now I am at the Evans' home babysitting little Hudson. And by babysitting, I am sitting in their living room since they out him to sleep before I got there. Have I ever mentioned how much I love them?! I offered to babysit for them last week, since I figured they would want to do something. On Tuesday, Nicole texted me and said that her and Jordan talked about it and if someone asked me out for Valentine's Day they did not want me to babysit for them, but to go out. Aren't they so sweet? However, I knew I would need to do some homework, which isn't

 getting done because I am so tired! I wanted just to share my fun Valentine's Day and how blessed I truly am! Oh and little special treat, that throwback picture is from the Valentine's Day dance we went to in 2009. Before Nicole and Jordan were married and we all were just little babies!
