Because our school
decided to cut Thanksgiving break short, Jason and I stayed in Rexburg for the
weekend. Wednesday night we went with David and Melissa to see Breaking Dawn. I know, I know, but once
you’ve seen one – you have to see them all (I also had an extra incentive in
reading all the books). I of course, wore my Twilight shirt that I bought for the
very first movie. This is a shirt that I have promised myself that I would only
wear to each movie and get rid of once I have seen the last one. I liked the
movie; however, I was a little unprepared for the gruesomeness depicted in some
parts of the movie and I hope delivering a vampire baby is nowhere close to
delivering a baby, baby.
For Thanksgiving Day,
David and Melissa invited us over to have dinner with them. If it weren’t for
them, honestly we probably would have eaten at Applebees. Both David and
Melissa are great cooks so I was pretty excited to eat what they had prepared.
Little ol’ me made only one thing – the green bean casserole. Hey, in my
defense the Berg’s love cooking and that’s all they asked me to make. I enjoyed
watching them cook and learning from them, although I’m pretty sure I’ll never
be able to make David’s lemon meringue pie.
He's cute :) p.s I picked out his outfit |

While we were
waiting for our turkey and side dishes to be done, we watched Super 8 (I highly recommend) and Eat, Pray, Love (better than I thought, but
what Jason and I enjoyed was the traveling – obviously). When everything was
ready and the table was set we said a quick thankful prayer and dug in. It’s
such a shame how long and how much effort it takes to make a huge meal and how
quick and effortless it is to eat it all up. Everything was delicious,
especially for our (their) first time making Thanksgiving dinner.
Friday Jason and I went
bowling at Teton Lanes in Rexburg. The first game . . . was just a warm up. At
the end of the second game, Jason beat me by only 10 with a score of 124.
Saturday Jay and I
drove to Ashton which is about 45 minutes away from Rexburg. We went to
Frostop; for their amazing root beer floats and French fries (and fry sauce!)
After, we attempted to drive to Mesa Falls – not knowing that it had snowed there
way more than in Rexburg and the roads were kind of scary to drive on. When we
were a quarter mile from the falls, we reached a sign that said the roads were
not maintained from that point on . . . bummer. We had no choice but to turn around.
It was okay though because the drive and sunset were gorgeous.
