The ducks unfroze!

So the weather has slowly, and I mean very slowly, warming up and today we noticed in the field behind our apartment that there are ducks hanging out in the melted snow puddles. I don't know where they came from but I think they were frozen under the many feet of snow. I'm glad to see that they have come back to life. Anyway, this past weekend was pretty good, we went to a John Schmitt concert, well more like I dragged steve to it. I think he enjoyed parts of it, but it went longer than normal so he was getting pretty antsy towards the end. At one point in the concert John asked if anyone knew jazz piano. There was an awkward silence and Steve decided that was the time he needed to get up and go to the bathroom. So when he got up to walk out John called him out thinking he was going up to play with him. Of course Steve made a joke about needing to go to the bathroom and everyone thought that was hilarious. I learned after that Steve planned to do that! Anyway, like I said before the weather is warming up to be in the 40's which isn't exactly warm compared to California, but for us it's a lot better then below freezing. But of course the warm weather also brought the wind so we're still stuck inside but we're counting down the days until the semester is over and we can go outside.

Saturday Blues

So it's Saturday here in Rexburg and we have nothing to do! Its overcast and lightly snowing with wind so doing anything outside is impossible. And we're poor so going out to spend money is out too. It might be fun to go out and look around at stuff if there were places to go, but the mall in Idaho Falls is pretty pathetic so its no fun. Anyway, if anyone can think of fun things to do when its snowing and freezing outside along with being in an isolated rural area, please let me know. I'll be here avoiding housework and homework because it's the weekend where people go out and do things!!!

New Pictures

So here are some pictures of us sledding today and then of me in Jackson Hole. The jeans I wore had a hole in the knee and as you can see, the ice kind of had a field day with my knee. Anyway, once again I'm jobless. I know I just posted that I got a job, I had it for about a month, but it didn't quite work out so I'm back to the job board. Sledding was fun, the snow is starting to melt which was nice because there was a lot of friction. I get kind of scared when sledding so it was a lot safer to go slower because of all the melting snow. Steve was kind of bummed because he likes to go faster, but at least he didn't eat it like the last time he went. 

Snow and Jackson Hole

So today is my sister Mary's birthday, she turns the big 21!!! Happy birthday Mary! Anyway, it's starting to warm up sort of here in Idaho. It's been in the low 30's which means sometimes it's above freezing. Last Sunday Steve and I drove to Jackson Hole, we weren't going to go because it was too long of a drive, but we made good time to Driggs so we decided to go. Let's just say we had to go straight up and straight down a mountain, in the Jetta, in the snow, at 40 mph the whole way. Nest time it will be summer and we will have the impala! Once we got there it was pretty and fun to walk around, but we are definitely going to wait for warmer weather. So most of you already know but I found a job! I'm working at Gandolfos Deli in Idaho Falls. The people are all really nice and I'm getting educated about food service as well as losing a layer of skin on my hands and arms from constant washing and sanitizing every day. Steve changed his major a couple of weeks ago to Psychology because he's going to do occupational therapy now which means he can graduate sooner and in a field he likes more then exercise science. That's all for now, we took some pictures in Jackson Hole, but I can't find the cord to connect it to the computer so I will have to put them up later when Steve gets home.

Pictures

Ok so I had some issues with the pictures, but I finally got them up. I know I talked about my closet, but the picture wouldn't turn so I decided not to post it.
