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.
