Ryan and I were busy busy busy. Thursday was just a fun catch up day with lots of hanging out and staying inside (it was snowing...ew). That night, McKenzie Ricks (my long lost kindred spirit who I met Fall 2006 and she has become one of my closest and most special friends. She married a rocker, Bryce, he's awesome and I'm so so so excited to be married neighbors!), anyways, McKenzie called me and asked to see if Ryan and I wanted to come over and watch Lost! Of course we went over and we had SO much fun. Lots of laughs and sad to say, we didn't watch any of Lost.
Friday was a special day. Ryan and I had planned to do a session at the Rexburg Temple. He was busy with classes and a test in the morning, but everything worked out and we met McKenzie and Bryce in there. That temple is, Gorgeous, and I am so grateful to have been able to spend a few hours in there. My testimony of temples grows stronger and stronger every time I attend. I learn something new every time I go. It was amazing to be with Ryan. I can't wait to be sealed to him for Time and All Eternity (oooo butterflies in my tummy....)!!! We went to dinner afterwards and saw 10,000 BC (AWESOME movie) and finished up the night with some DQ ice cream. It's interesting how you can crave ice cream all year round, even when it's 18 degrees outside.
Saturday was a slow day but so needed. I went out for lunch with my dear friend Jessie George! I met Jessie when she moved to Charlotte to nanny for her Aunt and Uncle. She is a doll and it was such a treat to see her!
My mom had called me that late afternoon and told me her and my dad had to put down my 13 yr old dog, Apache. I knew it was coming. He has been going downhill pretty quickly in the last few months. I cried a lot when I heard the news, but it was so comforting being with Ryan. I miss Apache already. The house is so quiet. He was such a sweet spirit and I really am grateful for his love.

Sunday was such a fun day! Ryan, his brother Stu, and his sister Trisha and I drove down to Pocatello to spend the afternoon with his adorable grandparents! They prepared a delicious lunch and it was so fun to meet them! His grandpa is such a joker and now I know where Ryan's joking/teasing comes from!
Now I am home, the house is quiet and I miss Ryan like crazy.

Cute pictures. Glad you had such a good time. Burrr Rexburg looks cold. 3 weeks is SO short. It will fly.
oh Rexburg... i'm jealous you went to the temple.. i want to check it out so bad.. maybe soon. :) Anyways.. you guys are so cute.
what a fun weekend! I just wish i could have been there to play with you.
when my grandma died last spring, and then when my pupster was put to sleep last october Donavon was with me when i got both phone calls. i just bawled and bawled but it really was so comforting to have someone you love next to you. im glad you had fun in rexburg though! i totally know how you feel about doing the long distance thing, its so hard! but it really does force you to get to know each other better w/o the physical getting in the way. sometimes its a blessing in disguise.
Wow how fun. I can't believe you're getting married - I wanna meet this guy! It looks cold in the Burg. Great blog, good update :)
Glad you guys had such a good time! I will be home in June with Joshua for a month! Mike will be in China so we are coming for a visit! Can't wait to catch up then! 3 weeks will go by so fast! You are such a cute couple!
