Today

We had SO MUCH FUN.

We have fun all. the. time. :]]]

I went to a small town called Weiser last weekend. There was a huge fiddle contest that weekend. Well actually, it was the whole week but Miriam and I were there for just the weekend. It was so great!! If you can't tell, this is middle of nowhere Idaho. It's between Twin and Boise. ...I think. You can correct me, if needs be.

Either way, we made such amazing time it is ridiculous. Usually it takes about fourish hours to get there, but we made it to Boise in just over three. No, we weren't speeding. Yes, there was construction. I think it's because we left at 6:30am. No one was on the road, it was really nice.

We had a great drive to Weiser. Lots of singing, laughing, enjoying each other. Miriam and I are pretty good for each other, because we're so different. I think it's a rare thing

among friendships. haha. We're just awesome.

We were camping in what the community had kindly called "Hippieville." I loved it. Camping is one of my most favorite things to do.

We got there around 12:30, and we watched one of the rounds of the Grand National's. We were super exhausted! Driving is killer.

After the 2nd round of GN, we went over to our campsite to set up. This is a sunset we saw that night before we went to bed at 9 or something.

All over great great weekend. videos of Miriam and my new found love to come soon. :]

Okay.

So, sometimes, when I get bored, I like to create names. Mostly with Hawaiian origins, and the first names are ones I've taken a fancy to. I love the tradition my family has of giving each child at least one Hawaiian and Japanese name. So, here is my list for my future children. I'm sure you'll have a hard time pronouncing them, just remember you need to pronounce each vowel. [I don't know if that will help you.]

Good Luck!!!

Homeless Party

Well, seeing as it was something sort of monumental, I decided that it would be a good idea to let people know. Cassie and I are homeless! It's a party and a half, not gonna lie. Cassie, Amy and I are thinking of getting an apartment in Rexburg on Main, right next to Ford and Tom. It's pretty cute, and it's only 475 a month. It'll be pretty amazing if we can get it. If we do, we can move in on the 23rd. So hopefully! But as of right now we're staying with some friends in my ward in Aspen. They're so amazing and wonderful. I love them. I'm so glad that my friends care about me. I don't know what I would do without them.

When Caving:

1- take flashlights
2- bring a sweatshirt
3- watch for ice!
4- bring more than one pocket knife
5- BRING AMAZING FRIENDS!

I went caving tonight with my FHE family. It was amazing! I love my FHE family. But I was more of a boy scout than the men in our group. :] It's all gravy, not everyone's perfect.
