Family Reunion

The entire White clan (minus a couple of cousins who couldn't make it)

Last weekend was my mom's big family reunion. We all headed down out to Bear Lake, Utah where we stayed in a HUGE house and hung out for a few days. While there, we celebrated my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. It is amazing how they have been married for 60 years! It was so much fun to see all of my cousins and their kids. My mom has six sisters, so I have tons of cousins and we don't get to see each other a lot, so it was a lot of fun to see everyone. We did our annual bingo, had a water olympics, layed out by the pool, went to the lake, ate lots of food, and just relaxed!

Feels Like Home

About a week ago, Carly and I heard that it was storming outside, so of course, we ran outside to play in it. Within the first 15 seconds, we were drenched from head to toe. It was pouring and windy and thundering and lightening. So of course, Carly and I splashed around in the puddles and danced in the rain. We then headed down to the round-about around the corner, which was flooded with about 2 feet of water. There were tons of students surfing and standing around being splashed by passing cars! It was a blast! We had so much fun! It felt just like I was home in an Iowa thunder storm! We are now slowly counting down the days until the end of the semester. Today, we only have 12 more days! YAHOOO!!!

My chunky monkey :)

My dad just sent me a few new pictures of my darling niece Madelyn. I just love this little chunk! Sadly, she was born 2 weeks after I headed out to college, so I didn't get to meet her until she was about three months. However, when I did finally meet her, I feel in love with her! She is my little chunky monkey!! I can't wait to see her again in just over three weeks. From what I hear, she has already changed so much in the 2 1/2 months I have been gone again. She is crawling and jabbering away! I love being an aunt to her and Brooklyn and Jace!

Here are just a couple other pictures from events earlier this week. Enjoy :)

This week in a nutshell

Well, here I am....a blogger. Don't ask me why I am doing this, I just thought it would be fun and a good way to keep track of what I am doing up here in Rexburg. So this past week has been Spirit Week, so we have all been super busy. On Tuesday, my roommate Carly and I took a little trip to DI to get yellow shirts to support our ward in a 50 lap relay at the stadium. Then on Friday night, we headed to the Rexburg fairgrounds for the rodeo. I must say, the rodeo was pretty lame compared to the rodeos back home. The horses were pretty much just ponies and the bulls were little baby bulls..pathetic! Then we, along with our roommate and some friends went bowling and then came home. Saturday was a beautiful day and so we took advantage of it by driving down to Rigby Lake for a swim and a picnic. It was so much fun, except for the fact that I got fried and am now in terrible pain from my back peeling. It was all worth it though! :) The rest of the weekend was basically spent relaxing and recovering from all the fun. Only 5 more weeks left in the semester and I can not wait for the much needed break and vacation back home! :)
