The Holidays Part I

When I was in elementary school I had this friend named Mike and every year on the last day of school before Christmas break started we would always say, "See you next year!" and it was probably the high light of my grade school years. I loved it because it the saying sounds like it will be forever until you see each other again, but thus it's not the case. Any way there is a point to this rambling and it is this, I HAVEN"T POSTED SINCE LAST YEAR!!! haha. I know I am kind of lame.

So I realized that I never posted any thing about what Sam and I did for Thanksgiving yet, so I shall attempt to catch you up a little. This Thanksgiving was a little different than last year. On Wednesday we drove up to Bountiful for a dinner with Sam's sister, Mindy. His parents also came down from Idaho. Then we drove up to Idaho that same day. On Thursday we didn't really do anything Thanksgiving-y. It kind of made me sad, but I survived. We did go and see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. I thought it was a good movie, and that it followed the book really well, but I think that they changed things and added things that didn't need to be there or there was no need to change it. I love the books so the movies are usually a let down for me. Then we went bowling. Sam's parents love to bowl. It's a lot of fun to do all together. Sam and I bought season passes to Grand Targhee, a ski resort on the border of Idaho and Wyoming, so on Friday we went bowling. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. Then later that night we drove up to Rexburg and got to see Jill Hirsh. She is a girl from my home ward and comes from the most amazing family. I hadn't seen her since she left for her mission. It was so nice to see her and her sister Bethany. I love that family. I can't remember what we did on Saturday. We came home on Sunday. It is normally a 4 hour drive, but we hit traffic right around Pocatello, ID and Bountiful, UT so it ended up taking us about 6 hours which was pretty frustrating.

I don't have pictures from Thanksgiving, Sam's family isn't as much of a picture taking family as mine. I'll post about our traveling Christmas break soon!

Until next time!
