Fat Biking Trip 2015

By
This past Saturday we spent the morning/afternoon in Driggs with our friends Dave, Kristy, Dallin, and Saraiah. We rented fat bikes from the ORC and went down a groomed trail outside of Driggs.

We went fat biking last year with Dave and Kristy here in Rexburg and had a great time so we decided we would try it again but try a groomed trail this year. I would definitely recommend the activity to anyone. It was SO much fun.

We biked about 4.2 miles to a turn around point and then biked back to our car. The way back a bit easier than the way there. A bit more down hill on the way back made a huge difference! Haha. We passed and saw a lot of cross county skiers and a few people snow shoeing.

We loaded up at the ORC at 8:30 and headed out!
The gorgeous view in the parking lot where we started biking.
This girl is seriously the greatest.

As we were biking we stopped at a camp ground Kevin and I camped at last summer for a family reunion. It was hilarious seeing the picnic tables and bathrooms covered with snow.

We also stopped to see this little waterfall. It was super pretty! (and it was always nice to be able to stop and take a break! My thighs were burnin!) :) haha

 The turn around spot was also the start of the trail for a hike called Table Rock. We all made a pack that day that we're going to hike it sometime this year haha. Hence the huddle with all our hands in...

We stopped on the way back and found a little hill. All the boys slid down on their bellies and got covered in snow! We of course had to stop and take a few pictures as well. :)
This was after Kevin climbed back up one of the times he slid down. :) He is so dang goofy, I love him!

It was super fogging driving into Driggs and then as soon as we pulled into the parking lot the fog was gone and it was blue skies! Then as we were leaving we drove back into the fog again! It looked super cool/creepy! We finished the day off eating at a delicious burger/pizza place and stuffed ourselves full then headed back to Rexburg!

It was such a great day spent with some fabulous people! I am grateful we live in an area that we can do such fun outdoor things even in the winter time. I'm also grateful we have amazing friends that are willing to go on these adventures with us! 


Until next time...

Holly :)

Fall time in the Burg

By
Our church building is right below the Rexburg Temple. A few weeks ago when we got out of church I looked up at the temple and saw all the gorgeous fall colors on the trees and bushes surrounding the temple. I told Kevin we HAD to go up and take pictures. We went home, changed and headed back up to the temple. We walked all around and I couldn't stop snapping picture after picture of the fall leaves! I decided that fall is my favorite season in Rexburg. It is just SO pretty. Our nice little Sunday stroll definitely helped remind of how blessed we all are to be on this amazing earth that was created for us!  Kevin pointed out this strange plant and was like, "Don't you want a picture of this?" Haha. So naturally I had to snap a quick picture. I love the temple! I am so grateful we live to close to it. Such a blessing!  I'm grateful for days and moments like this where I'm reminded how ble...

Fat Biking

By
Kevin didn't have class yesterday since it was a holiday and no one else on the maintenance crew was going to work so Kevin decided to take the day off as well. I decided to close my office for the day so we could spend some time together. (best decision EVER!) We had a REALLY fun active day. In the morning Kevin played basketball while I walked around the I-center track with my friend Janae. We were there for about an hour and a half so we both got some pretty good exercise. We lounged around for a couple hours after that and then around 2:30 we headed to go fat biking with a couple we've become really good friends with in our ward. I had seen the fat bikes at the ORC before but never thought I would ride one. They look like regular bikes except they have ginormous tires instead of little tires. The bikes are used to ride in the snow, sand, and anywhere else you want to but they make riding in snow a lot easier (and more fun). Here is a picture while we were waiting at...

Time for something new

By
The past few weeks have been interesting. I've been worrying more and felt overwhelmed about Kevin's schooling, finding jobs, being a burden to family, trying to decide where we really need to be right now, everything just felt like it was closing in on me. Kevin applied to a job at Best Buy and made it through the first and second interviews. We made the decision that if he didn't get the job we would move back to Laramie. Friday, December 16th, as we were driving an Elder down to Des Moines, we found out that Kevin did not get the job. In a moment that could have very well been so sad, discouraging and stressful all I felt was peace. My heart was so sad thinking about leaving Mason City but my shoulders and body felt like a weight had been lifted from them. I knew we needed to go to Laramie. So, we're moving to Laramie after Christmas! I've cried at least twice a day since Friday (I'm just a constant bawl baby these days!) My heart and mind are on a cons...
