Time Keeps on Ticking
Well after m
any requests I have decided to FINALLY make a new p
ost. But don’t think that I haven’t been wanting to post, it’s the fact that I’m in COLLEGE, REMEMBER? I’m either at class, doing homework, a devotional, bridge jumping, grocery shopping, running, cleaning, studying, or attending my church callings before I get to my Blog. Sad, I know… So my two new roommates arrived, 
Courtney and Jacquie, 
and they are completely fabulous, I love them so much. So the last few weeks have been full of concerts, bridge jumping, dates, long boarding, ultimate Frisbee games, and parties. We started a team called “The EH Team” pretty much all Canadians minus Courtney, my roommate. Taylor Heninger, Chris Jenson, and John Merrill are some of the Canadians. It’s be
en fun. APX Alarm systems does a huge party each fall where they give away cash and prizes and ha
ve tons of huge events. We went, and it was fun, but really cold. Mike was here a few weeks ago for the weekend. He was in a pizza eating contest and actually won! Angel Moroni got placed on top of the Rexburg Temple. It’s looking really good, it has another year to be completed but it already looks really nice. My Book of Mormon class stood outside in the rain and sang hymns while the 
Angel was hoisted up. My new FHE group is really fun too; we went skee
t shooting a few weeks ago. I was able to go to Provo last weekend for conference, except didn’t actually go to conference. Mike was in the hospital for a few short hours after a football injury. I did some shopping with Stacey during the Priesthood session, I miss you Stace! Dahl is getting HUGE, he’s almost two, crazy. We had s
ome bad hail just the other day, so of course Emily, Courtney and I went
for a jog in it. I've got way too many pictures, and not really a lot to say. Now that I'm somewhat up to date with blogging I'm hoping they can be more regular again... so until the next time... I miss you all, SEND PACKAGES!

The Cherry on Top of Summer
Pretty muc
h I will just list all the events I have done in the past week or 
so and post a TON of pictures. The trip up with Aunt Carol was fun, we listened to a book on CD for 5 hours! After arriving at Grandma Salmon’s I was wisped away by some friends to attend the firework competition somewhere in NE Calgary. The following morning Grandma and I made everything imaginable with crabapples. We 
ended up even 
making some crabapple sauce. Friday evening I attended the YSA dance with Alana Takahashi, Kandice Palmer, and Kaiti Pratt. It was cool to see everyone I use to know and how much they have grown up. On Monday we had a Salmon FHE at Bowness Park. Hotdogs were on the menu but there was nothing to cook 
them with. After searching the park grounds, and the trash bins we decided to
improvise by using some fencing for some roasters, they weren’t the best, but they worked. Mike and I brought along our posse too which ended up causing a pretty intense came of Steal Sticks. Kandice ended up breaking her cell phone and the rest of us ended up bruised and scratched. Ultim
ately we decided for a group bubble bath (in swimsuits of course). The rest of the trip was filled w
ith trips to Peter’s and Canadian slurpees. I paid a visit to Mike and Michelle Lyons, and they had once again moved. Aunt Michelle gave me a much needed haircut. Alana worked till Wednesday night, so we planned to leave for our trip to Rexburg early Thursday morning. Mike and Paul assured us that they would be up and ready when we picked them up from the
ir friends house. At 5:45am I foun
d myself tapping at the door. 15 minutes later Mr. Collins answered the door and took me downstairs where I found the two boys asleep on the couch. 20 minutes later we were finally on the road. 10 hours or so later we arrived in beautiful Rexburg, Idaho. After a brief discussion we decided to have a fire up at the sand dunes and roast hotdogs and marshmallows again. It was a cle
ar night for star gazing, but almost a little 
bit too cold. It reminded me of what I get to look forward to in a few short weeks. Paul and Mike hitched a ride with a friend heading to Provo Friday morning, so that was completely luck. The 4 of us girls had the apartment to ourselves for a while. We discovered a fabulous restraint called Firehouse Grill, SO GOOD; It’s in Idaho Falls. Besides shopping, photo
shoots, going to DI and eating, Saturday nig
ht we also attended I-Night Extravaganza ; the welcome back party that BYU-I puts on at the beginning of each semester. There was tons of events around the whole school, a bull riding contest, roller skating, sumo wrestling, bounce houses, and dancing, just to name a few. The girls left early Monday morning, which was sad but we did have a blast while they were here. I just was notified Alana got a ticket in Montana, despite that I hope they all come back very soon! I’m hoping that I have now somehow recruited a few more friends to join the ranks here in Rexburg.
