Family Time

The past couple of weeks we have pretty much gone to school. But when we do catch a break we do enjoy one another's company very much. So this week Kathleen chose our activity on Monday and the activity before I got to choose. This week we decided to go get snow cones from the Snoasis. Kathleen got tiger's blood and I got what is called pink lady. We did so in honor of Rory and Emily.
The week before we decided to go hike "R" mountain. It was a gruesome journey but with Kathleen giving me a piggy back ride all the way up, we managed to make it to the top. We enjoyed its delightful view of the city of Rexburg.

First Day of School

Well we just finished our first week of school. With the usual lengthy lectures about the syllabus and a load of homework that never ends. Despite these hardships Kathleen and I have enjoyed finishing Avatar: The Last Air Bender (the t.v. series)!!! 

Life in Rexburg

So we are now settled in Rexburg, just getting our home ready for the semester to begin. Here are some photos for you to enjoy...

 Our kitchen

Our delightfully stylish couches

 We decided to go on an adventure before school started, so we went camping for a night to try out all our sweet camping gear. We found a great spot just outside of Rexburg, not too far away. We enjoyed out pizza bagels cooked in tin foil over the fire and of course the only real reason we both like camping...the smores and staring at the fire.

                                                              Our new tent..its fits only 2

When we got home from camping we decided to go out and get a few things from Idaho Falls. We ended up getting a some stuff from bed bath and beyond, kohl's, and target. The crown jewel of the night was getting a t.v.! We are very blessed to have been given enough gift cards to get one..now lets hope it lasts a long long time.

We went and we are back

We went to Cancun for our honeymoon!! We spent time on the beach, swimming with dolphins, releasing baby turtles, and enjoying the buffet every meal of the day. We both got burnt and both gained weight. We loved it. We enjoyed getting caught in the rain the pina coladas, seriously that is what we did. You could say Cancun was our "escape".
So one day we went to Chichen Itza "Chicken pizza" and enjoyed the sights and even went to a natural underground pool and a 5 hour bus ride to end it all.  I especially enjoyed the look on Kathleen's face when we went to the water park and slid down the biggest slide. Is she fearless? Yes....

                                                                    Soakin up the sun

All in all, we wish we had stayed a bit longer...and knew spanish. Does anyone have sunscreen?
