First outdoor climbing!

Yesterday, Jordan and I got done with school super early. The sun was shining and we were feeling optimistic. So we went home made a snack and packed up to go climbing on real rocks. We decided to go to Heise to climb. We got out there and the ground was covered in mud from all the melted snow. We got all ready to go and I led the climb. Pretty much it felt like this:




My hands were quite cold. Jordan was a trouper and made it up after I came down and we decided that our outdoor climbing was a little premature for Rexburg. So we went home and had hot chocolate! Yum!

We cannot wait for it to get a little warmer so we can go outside and not come home with near frost bite. Also, Jordan just got a mountain bike and Todd from back home brought it up for us!

Needless to say... We are DYING for summer!

Mike, Danielle, and Jace come to visit!

This past weekend was a long weekend for us. Three days off of school! Jordan and I have been wanting people to come stay with us at our cabin and Danielle and Mike finally took us up on it! They got here late on Friday night. Saturday we took them on a tour of the new buildings on campus, which made me appreciate just how great our school is. Then we went to Craigo's, which by the way has the best salad bar! They didn't have Danielle's favorite dessert... the brownie with ice cream on top. So sad since that's what she was so excited for. We got a cookie monster, which turned out pretty good. We then basically watched movies, hung out, and laughed a lot. It was so fun to have Jace around. It looks like his new favorite uncle is Gin Gin (Jordan). It was so fun having people stay with us for the first time.

New marriage... New blog!

Jordan and I are loving married life. We have discovered that getting out of bed in the mornings is the hardest part of the day. Who wants to get out of the warm blankets when you have personal heater next to you? Not I. Jordan has introduced me to his gourmet macaroni and cheese, which is amazing. We both love salad and could and do have it at every meal. We have already gone through two large bottles of hidden valley ranch along with almost three bags of croutons. We have had a lot of fun hanging out with other couples up here. Many nights spent out late laughing. Our cabin is amazing! We absolutely love it and are already sad we have to leave in July for my school. We keep the heat pretty cold, like 68, but we have lots of blankets so its great! The shower is hilarious... Jordan is too tall so he has to crouch down in it, but he is a good sport and loves the place anyway. We are trying to stay up with school and get things figured out for next fall. I got into physical therapy school at ISU. We have decided to move down to Pocatello and have Jordan finish up his undergrad while I get my degree and then I can work while we put him through chiropractic school. We have many fun things planned for the future, but for now we are loving life and getting used to school together.
