Winter in Rexburg --- [backposting]

It's the little things in life. Like not having to buy your own toilet paper or wash the dishes for three weeks while you're visiting family.

Recap on the last few weeks:
The week before we left for AZ, we went to a Ward Christmas Party, David Archuleta Christmas concert and a Nutcracker Ballet. Christmas coming on strong.
 On our way down to Arizona we stopped in Salt Lake to go see the lights at the Salt Lake Temple...they were gorgeous. We also ended up driving the 16 hour trip all night long. We stopped in Utah somewhere to "camp" but camping didn't really happen. We just slept off and on in the car for about an hour and a half then kept driving through the night. I didn't sleep because I was worried about Travis falling asleep. Eventful to say the least. Our first real stop in Arizona was in Chinle. Man was it refreshing to feel the [relative] warmth and smell the desert air as we overlooked the small canyon.

We went on several other adventures this past winter while in Idaho, my favorites being a snowshoe trip to Mesa Falls and hot springs in Jackson..pictures to follow. Snowshoeing was awesome. Freezing and sweaty and hard but awesome. The falls were so pretty and different from when drove to them in the summer. It was about an 8mile round trip to the falls and back.
