I'm defying gravity and you can't pull me down.

Well, today was quite an adventure, so I'm dedicating this post to Patsy, one of my favorite people ever! :)

First off, I got an A in my technology class, where I hardly put any effort in, and didn't do one of the assignments. Sometimes, I feel like I work the system. Secondly, I got a 98% on my SPED 4000 final! And you know what, I feel proud of myself, and it feels great.

Anyway, Josie and I went to Boise to see Wicked! today. What a great first day of summer!! IT WAS AMAZING! I was completely blown away, and it was unbelievable to see so much talent in one theater. The singing, acting, dancing, stage effects, etc etc etc...It was all incredible! It was also springtime hardcore in Boise and it was just beautiful. :) Boise is a great city...too bad it's five hours deep in the middle of nowhere.
After the musical, in front of the Boise River.

SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Then, we headed back to Logan, but we stopped in Twin Falls for a quick dinner and ended up at the temple. Twin Falls is my most favorite place in Idaho, and if I have to live in Idaho, it had better be in Twin Falls. It is 110% beautiful.
Twin Falls Temple.

Tulips are so so pretty. :)

I love Twin Falls...are you catching on?

It was so so awesome to see THE Snake River, and realize it made this beautiful canyon  in Twin Falls.
We enjoyed a great drive back, took a slight detour through Pocatello, and got rear-ended. Neat. It was the cherry on top of my emotional sundae, so the GREAT day I had sort of plummeted. Thankfully, no damage was done (well, no obvious damage, I'll check in the morning and see).

However, through it all, I came to the realization in a 10 hour drive how blessed I am and how grateful I am for everything that has happened this school year, good and bad. I have grown so much and "because I knew you, I have changed for good."

After that busy day, you'd think I'd crash but no...something in my stupid mind of mine decided to make me pack pretty much everything, even though I have all of Friday to do it. Yes, everything that is legitimately packed is in my car. I hate leaving, but I packed anyway. I don't get myself (ever).

Why would I ever want to leave this? (This picture would be golden if Katie and Chelsey were in it...)


Here's to you, Fall 2010 & Spring 2011. Thanks for being great, for making me laugh, sending me to great places, and allowing me to make precious memories with the people I love. I wouldn't trade you for anything. :)

P.S. If you read this entire blog, I'll give you brownie points... You know you want some delish brownies.
