Our Journey Through the Land of Jagged Breasts (Teton National Park)

We survived a winter vacation in the mountains. We went to Grand Teton National Park for a few days and had mucho funno. We spent the first night there taking "artistic portraits" of each other in our lovely hotel room which hasn't changed since 1953.

We went on a few hikes through the snow. We planned on renting snowshoes but never did. We figured it wouldn't be too hard to hike in the snow. My legs are still sore.

Katie contemplated even ditching her boots and hiking barefoot.

If you are ever wandering around Jackson at night and you are craving a hamburger and you stop at a local coffee shop to ask "Where's a good place to get a good burger?" and they answer "Billy's" don't believe them. Worst Burger Ever!!

We went on a horse drwan sleigh ride out onto the Elk refuge where we got really close to the Elk.

And we played in the snow and made a foreboding snowman to scare away any hikers.

Fall Semester at Santa B and a BOY

This fall semester has been so fun! I have two great roommate who have taught me a lot about kindness and supporting each other. For their Christmas gift from me, me and my "friend" Rob made breakfast for them last Saturday, needless to say it was delicious!


This was my birthday dinner at PF Changs, it was so good and I got my food for free cause they messed up on it. I invited all my closest lady friends to come celebrate with me cause they were the next best thing to being with my family. My roommates are the two blonds, they are so great!

My roommate Nicole made me a gluten free cake out of black beans, it was so moist and delicious! I had a party and had so much fun cause all sorts of my friends showed up and we just had fun talking and I got lots of great gifts including that scarf made by my other roommate Sarah and a hat box full of surprises from Lauren. the best gift though was my new laptop that I love so much! thanks dad and mom! Its a beauty!

Here is the good part!! his name is Robert Fowler, he is from Scottsdale, AZ, his dad is a doctor, and mom is a violin teacher. He is graduating in mechanical engineering in April and might continue at BYU to get his masters or go work for a prestigious mechanical engineering company in Denver. I tell him all the time that he is a smarty pants! He is the most amazing guy I have ever met, so nice, so sweet, gentle and funny too and I really really like him... a lot! His last girl friend also had celiac disease... hmmm interesting!

ROOMMATES!!!

These are the girls of 102 and I have LOVED living with them. We were meant to live together. I came as a stranger to them and they were so nice and we are great friends now. Nicole is getting married in August, and Sarah is stickin around and going to school. Her major is exercise and wellness. Nicole is from Park City and Sarah from Pleasant Grove. Sarah lived in Mexico with her parents who were mission presidents there for two years and went to school to be a pastry chef. They are both so talented and encouraging! We spend a lot of nights after we are sick of homework, watching little dorrit and north and south! I know next semester will be just as great with them there to support me and share my happiness and sadness or whatever. I also hope there will be another addition to our apartment, except that he cant sleep over! wink wink!

Bisbee, AZ

Ahh! Why is this blue/underlined again? Anyway, this is Bisbee AZ. It's an old mining city here in AZ. I guess it's known as the San Francisco of AZ. It's a really cool city. This is me in front of the courthouse as the wind is blowing dust in my face. It was SOOO windy the day we went and cold (but cold for here is like 45*F).

This is a picture of one of the streets. They're all like this, really skinny and surrounded by old buildings. Most of the shops are antique shops or artsy stuff.

Finally, this is Andrew and me in a mining cart. It was really hard for my pregnant self to get in this thing. I'm a major clutz now.

Tombstone

So here are some pictures of Tombstone, AZ. This is me in front of the OK Corral where some famous shootout took place. We watched a re-enactment of it, but I was pretty bored and somewhat fell asleep. (PS why does my text always come out underlined and blue?). (PSS, Katie I'm wearing the shirt you loaned me...you know the one that you wore and someone asked you if you were pregnant?)


This is Andrew and me in a buggy. You could get in one with a horse and everything, but that made me want to vomit...horse poo is stinky.

This is the courthouse, but I guess they didn't use it much. They were more into just killing you on the spot if they thought you had done something illegal. The sheriff was apparently sheriff, judge, jury, and executioner.

Kanami's Snail

Kanami made this snail today. She wanted me to put it on "Grandma's" blog.

Elann's New Glasses
