the unimaginable.

1.12.2012

it happened. 
the weirdest of all feelings.
the feeling i said, I SWORE, i'd never feel.
a feeling so unimaginable by my prior self, that i promised people it couldn't happen to me.
it's the feeling of missing rexburg and actually, dare i say it, wanting to go back.

there. i said it.

and i blame it, whole-heartedly, on these two:
most especially the one with the double x-chromosome.
though i do love jack--it's jenny who i think of almost daily.
she's my best friend. the girl i could spend hours and days with--painting, sewing, laughing, cooking, eating, dreaming, or just doing absolutely nothing at all--it's that kind of friendship. 
it's the kind you don't have to see for months and within a few minutes its right back to complete comfort.
it's the kind that makes you want to be a better and more interesting person, because it's fun.
it's the kind you wish for your whole life, and you might not even know you're wishing, until you find it. and that's when your Soul says, "Ah, that's right." And your Heart smiles, and your Brain knows you've found yourself your best girlfriend.
And that, my friends, is Jenny Thomas.
The girl who makes Rexburg sound inviting.

Scenes from Grad Weekend

4.11.2011

Oh, what a lovely weekend we had! 
We were visited by The Boss and Ma Nielson, who treated us to dinner and dessert at Carino's before Marcus's pinning ceremony Friday night.

Then Saturday morning we woke up early and went to the boys graduation from the Nursing Program. 
I felt a lot like I was in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--all the professors in their fancy gowns and hoods, it was awesome. 
They even gave Marcus a rose that he used as a wand for the rest of the day.
I thought after I graduated with my Bachelors degree in May that I would surely be done with my formal education, but those amazing robes really got me considering a master's program...Do you think that's why they wear them, to lore the kids who are suckers for costumes?
After having lunch at Craigos, we loaded up Ma & Pa Nielson's truck with most of our belongings and sent them off. 
Sunday we feasted on Fondu and Marcus used the Red Plate.
While I'm not the biggest fan of the aesthetics of this plate, I do love the tradition that goes with it.
When ever someone is being honored (birthdays, anniversaries, celebrations) they used 'The Red Plate' and they sign their name on the back along with the date and the occasion. 
I think the kids will like it, don't you?

As we were eating, we had visitors:
4 Teenage sized deers and 2 babies! 
It was so precious. We sat and watched them for about 30 minutes before they leaped away.
Then we took an exploratory drive around the farmland of Idaho.
Along with one beautiful sunset, we saw a llama farm, a moose, a pony, two falcons, 10 baby cows, three long horn bulls, and at least 30 peacocks perched in the trees. 
It was so delightful! 
I think we'll be going on a few more of these before we hit the road for Arizona next week.

I hope your weekend was magnificent! 
I'd love to hear the highlights!

This is what I'll be doing all week. Wanna know why?


Because Marcus graduates this weekend!
