saying goodbye...

Dear Readers,

I had to say goodbye in the last week, and it was harder than I thought. I had been up and down and all around in my car, but the time had come to wish it farewell.

 
 You see, I am a serious commuter. I drive close to two hours daily on this road...


 which happens to be where these fellows roam and play...


  
Cowboy was worried about this happening....


so he decided I needed something bigger, higher, and stronger. He has had issues with Subaru cars and the stigma that comes with them as long as I've know him. He almost thought twice about dating me, because well, I drove a Subaru. Silly Willy! Well, after considering all of our options and thinking about which vehicle might fit our needs the best, we ended up at the Subaru dealership. We are now very 'proud' owners of this gem...

 I know it doesn't look bigger, higher, and stronger...but oh, it is. It single handily changed cowboy's mind about Subaru cars. He thinks it's cool, and I might think the same thing. Here is to increased clearance and safety, and a warm bum.

Here's another great announcement. Evan is getting married!
He is marrying a Hannah girl, and I am very excited for their upcoming nuptials.


May she always be allowed to wear ear plugs whenever she wants.

 I also feel like this is worth sharing, even if it is a vain item to blog about. I purchased and wore floral skinny pants. My cowboy doesn't know yet, and I am sure kind words will flow from his mouth when he sees them for the first time. My mom was with me when they were discovered and purchased, and her encouragement was just what I needed. They make me smile, and I just read in my scriptures that every good thing comes from God. I believe this even applies to a fun pair of modest clearance pants.


They just might go great with my muck boots too, the bogs. 

 
Who knew chores and manure could be faced with such floral fashion.

Sincerely,
the accidental Arco girl

It's been awhile....

I think there are three of you who read my blog. You're all a big deal though, so I decided to write again for you three people. I am hoping this post may be slightly therapeutic too, because I sure need some of that. We are on week five of our school year, and it seems like every time I get slightly comfortable something occurs that makes me very uncomfortable. I won't divulge too many details, but needless to say I came away feeling violated, disgusting, and not very trusting. Luckily for me, the scriptures had just the right answers when I needed them most. I am reading about Mormon in the actual book of Mormon. He is dealing with the Nephites who are described as being so disobedient that Mormon doesn't give a full account "that ye might not have too much sorrow because of the wickedness of this people." (Mormon 5: 9) Sound like a world we live in? Mormon previously states a perfect description of my feelings of this "wicked" state when he shares his...

only in the big A town...

cowboy and i are trying to figure out where we are going to live when we get hitched. it's a tricky thing. not only am i marrying a cowboy, i am also marrying a man who owns a few horses, a large and shiny horse trailer, a monster truck, a car, a couple of snow machines, a snow machine trailer, and some other large items. needless to say, rexburg and its tricky parking are not working out in our favor. we need parking, some sort of barn, and some dirt to play around in. so, nick's mom mentioned that there was a neat place for sale in the big A town of arco, idaho. we saw pictures online and decided we wanted to go out and see it. we also needed someone to take engagement pictures, because the other arrangements fell through. come to find out nick has a friend named boone who does it all - he took our pictures and was the realtor too. we snapped some shots, looked at some property, posed for some other takes, and discussed placing an offer. folks, this is what i call being effic...
