idaho

i went to idaho for my first time ever - or so i'm pretty sure.  i definitely know it's jorel's first time.  but anyway, we went up to visit one of mike's really good friends who had just had a baby for the blessing, also to help him remodel his house, and to see his grandparents who live up there.  while the boys remodeled, i helped out with the kids and hung out and read and got to know their family.  one of their daughters got attached and was really sad the morning after we left so she had to call me.  how cute is that?  it was totally freezing while we were up there like felt like -17 degrees. its been a really long time since i had been in that cold of weather and really didn't have all of the gear to survive outside.  so we stayed inside for most of the it.  we did venture out for a little bit because they couldn't handle that i had never shot a gun... so we shot a couple before we freezed our toesies off and then let the kids sled for a couple of minutes.  you just can't last that long when its that cold!  it was a really great trip.  except jorel got sick on the way home - some bug his friend's kids had.  and mike's grandparents are pretty cool too.  it was really good that mike and i got away and got to spend some really good time together.

CHECK OUT THE FEELS LIKE!!!!! BRRRR
