While I'm on the subject of Idaho...

Let me just share a few more amazing things about Idaho. First, I love that all my family (and Zach's family) lives there. How cool is that? Here's a picture of me and my sibblings. We can make our own pyramid!


Second, Idaho has a lot of really great small towns. Cambridge, Idaho, is a real gem. Few have been there, but those who have know and understand why it rocks. These pictures may help illustrate this point.



This is a convenience store in Cambridge, Idaho, complete with stuffed game from Africa and other cool places around the world. That's really cool. The animal below was my favorite.




This town really got into the spirit. The telephone booth reminded me of my days in England. Third, people have really cool pets. This is me with a mini horse in downtown Boise. 'Nuff said.


Fourth, Idaho is beautiful. I could add a ton of beautiful Idaho pictures, but I'll add just one.


Fifth, Idaho is full of awesome recreational activities: skiing, hiking, waterskiing, rafting (some of the best in the world), greenbelts, and on and on and on. It really is a gem. And yes, I have rafted down the Payette River. In fact, I am probably one of the rafters pictured above. Anyways, I could go on and on and on about the benefits of Idaho. It really is a gem of a state and I get really annoyed when people, especially those who've never been, bash her. I stick up for her every time because she's great. Like I said, I can't wait to get back!


Time Flies


One thing I've always wanted to do is take a picture by the "Welcome to Idaho" sign. Bless Zach's heart, that dream came true last February or March. Awesome. I love the great state of Idaho and cannot wait to return for good in April 2010.
That's me climbing the sign, showing my state pride. I got a little farther up, but it was really cold and it's difficult to climb metal in the cold. Zach, on the other hand, got all the way to the top! I just wasn't quick enough with the camera to document it.

Why, yes, I do know the entire Idaho state song. Want to learn it? Just ask.

So it's been awhile...

So it's been quite some time since I have posted. About 4 months to be exact. What have we done since then? Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, new car, new niece, two trips to Idaho, lots of finals and midterms, papers...you get the point. We've been pretty busy. Granted, I definitely had time to blog over Christmas break, but choose instead to enjoy a little leisurely reading and the time away from my laptop. I have now finished my first semester of law school. Still love it. Still can't believe I have 5 more semesters of school. (This one is basically over though, right?)
Since the New Year, I have resolved to exercise. Zach and I have enjoyed getting started and have even enjoyed the BYU gym. It might be a little crowded, but the fact that it is free makes up for the lack of space and the lack of air conditioning (almost). So when we go to the gym, I enjoy running on the treadmill. For long periods of time. The problem is that I am a klutz and I like to people watch/play with my ipod while on the treadmill. More often than not, I can be seen grasping onto the handlebars in a last ditch attempt not to fall. This occurs because I was either people watching or playing with my ipod. Anyways, I have convinced myself that I provide entertainment for other people watchers like myself.
Anyways, I thought I would post a few pictures to spice up this bad boy. Enjoy...
Zach and I went to the temple in Salt Lake City. What a beauty!

This is my Grandpa Norman. How cute is he?

Grandpa K after treating Zach and I to lunch at the Skyroom. Presh.


Zach found a stalactite outsite of our apartment. I held it. It was cold.



















This is where I live. Seriously.
