Double post

Yesterday I got a little caught up in something:

So I kinda forgot to post...

I guess I'll just have to double up to keep on track!

Mystie (and the rest of my Pocatello Peeps)

And last but not least, my Savior.

My restaurant of choice...

Photo Challenge: A picture of your favorite place to eat.

I eat here almost every time my parents come into town and decided to take me to dinner! SO good.

The Sweet Pork Burrito is the way to go!

Also, there's the ever-present Taco Bell :)

I'm a fan of the $5 Box. So worth your money.

Most Played

Photo Challenge Day 4: A picture of your currently most played CD.

To be perfectly honest I don't listen to CD's.
iPod's are the way to go baby!

However, if I had to choose between the songs I listen to the most it would definitely be between the following:

The best songs off this one are It's Not Over, Over You, All These Lives, and What About Now in my opinion.

Some favorites from this one are: No Surprise, Life After You, September, Learn My Lesson, and Call Your Name. This man can sing I tell you!

I love Sparks Fly, Back to December, Haunted, and Long Live from this one!

Basically I love EVERY song by He is We:

I Wouldn't Mind

Blame it on the Rain

Breathe

Happily Ever After

Radio

Give It All

Light a Way

Pardon Me

Pour Me Out

Too Beautiful

The House(s) That Built Me

Photo Challenge Day 3: A picture of the house you grew up in.

Well...ask anyone. I didn't grow up in a (singular) house.
We moved a few times, so I didn't have the chance to have a single house to grow up in.

However, I would say that there were a couple of houses that I 'grew' up in I guess you could say. Those two have pictures :)

I don't remember much about the first house I ever lived in except it was pink.
Pepto Bismol pink...

I remember a little about the second one, which was a trailer-type thing that came in two halves that you stuck together. We used to sneak in when we only had half of it (there was a sheet of plastic tacked down the whole open side).

The third house we lived in was in Salmon, Idaho. It was 408 Bean Lane I think...and it was right behind the high school.
My fondest memory of that house was having a barbecue on the back patio and running through the sprinklers when they came on.
I also remember there being a TON of spiders in that house.

The 4th is one of the best houses ever in my opinion...13 Thomas Avenue
Maci and I had so many adventures there. We would swing and play house and walk up S hill and smash bits of glass to make glitter...those were the days.
One bad thing I remember about this house was the mud. Bentonite? I think that's what we called it.
It was SO sticky! The first time I went up to look at the house with Dad we went on a walk and got stuck in it. My feet were glued to the ground and he had to pull me out!

This is actually a picture of the house we started building for Grandma in the back yard. (Hey family, did YOU recognize it???)

I didn't recognize it at all! I just found this picture on the real estate website and realized how much work had been done to it since we left...crazy how time flies huh?

The house that I LOVE (even if it was old and broken down) is the one with the weirdo roof in the background.

The next one was 2512 Granite Way. I loved that house too...just not as much I guess.
Maci and I played at the park and roller bladed more than actually being in that house I think...

1868 Conestoga St. is where you would find me next.
This was the first house that I had ever lived in that had painted walls. It was a gorgeous house with a nice view out the back window.
We lived there for two years before we came to the house that really changed my life. :)

Good ole' Soda Springs :)

Crazy night!

Photo Challenge Day 2: A picture of a crazy night.

This one was easy!

Mystie, Jeff, and I went out late one night and roamed campus. 

We took pictures with all the weirdo statues and had a ton of fun!

But on a more serious note...

Today is Easter Sunday and I am very grateful for all that has been done for me.

My Brother, my Savior and Redeemer died for me but he rose again, breaking the bands of death many centuries ago.

He loves me...

He gave me the gospel...

He gave me an eternal family...

He cares for me...

He hears my prayers...

And I KNOW He always will.

Last night as I was saying my prayers I asked Heavenly Father to help me understand a question that has repeatedly popped up in my mind in the last few weeks.
Before I could even close my prayer I had my answer clear as day!
"You already know that."
That was all.
I lay in bed thinking about what it meant because I was obviously confused...
But then I realized that it was true.
I always knew the answer, I was simply thinking it had to be more profound.

Can I just say I love my life?
A lot!

Tradition

So there has been a photo challenge on Facebook called the 30 day photo challenge.
One of my friends did a 60 day challenge and because I already did the 30 day challenge I decided to do the second half on my blog.

Day 1: A picture of a tradition you have.

So...traditions.
To be honest my family doesn't have that many traditions that come to mind right off, so this really will be a challenge.
The one thing I can think of is this:

Every Christmas Eve we get all sticky and skewer a bunch of Shish Kabobs and throw them on the grill.

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it because of how cold it gets, but I sure do appreciate it when it's time to eat!
