Traveling & Things Learned













When making the 12 hour trip from SE Idaho to Albany you have a lot of time to think. While driving that is. Especially when you do most of it and your wife sleeps most of the time occasionally waking up to tell you to slow down, that she needs some Pringles from the gas station or to talk on the phone.

This time I finally won and we were able to stop at a lot of the "View Points" on the way. I have attached a few of those pictures. But the real reason for this BLOG was create "TOP 10 THINGS LEARNED THIS SEMESTER." So without further or do....

10. Once you are a senior your GPA cannot move too much regardless of what grades you receive.
9. Never give your advice/run downs on each NCAA team because then she will beat you at your own game (bracketology)
8. Snowmobiles are reason enough to live in a cold, snowy climate
7. When you turn 24 you are officially OLD.
6. When you get media tickets to Conference, go to every session, no questions asked.
5. When your wife has never missed one of your intramural games ever, you know you not only married up but chose very well.
4. The scooter will get family/friends to come visit you above all else.
3. Remove the battery from your scooter during the winter or it will die.
2. A broken nose does not constitute a foul in some officials eyes.
1. Never be married to someone who takes 21 credits in one semester.
0. Even when it feels like no one wants you for a job or internship, just go the Pest Control route and it will make you feel like everyone wants you!

Come visit us in Portland this summer, and we are still looking for a good summer get away if anyone has any great 3-3 tourney's/vacation destinations in mind.

Technically that's 11 things, but I'm glad to see that you've learned a lot this semester. I nodded my head in agreement at the GPA one. So true.

Can you talk to Lesley about letting us stop at the viewpoints? She never wants to. Maybe we can on our way to Sunriver.

Malad canyon hello! Just because I didn't want to drive 3 hours out of the way to some lake.

And my husband should be grateful for his wife that goes to all of his intramural games....even after he has graduated.

I am STILL trying to get you an internship down here in SoCal so you can live with US this summer.

We're loving our houseguests and enjoyed their travelogue from Rexburg to here, as well as the pictures of my hometown, Twin Falls, and the famous Multnomah Falls! So far we have had dinners together, played Apples to Apples, Balderdash, and the younger crowd (24 and below) has enjoyed the trampoline. Jocey did not want to get off it today when jumping with Ev and the twins, but just kept crawling around in a circle!

I'm seriously having a problem with #7. I'm NOT old! By the way, nice work helping out our ward's b-ball team. I heard you really helped out.

Evan,
And I quote,
"I am sure I will blog a lot about ours when he comes."
He? Is that hypothetical? Or hinting to something?
