I'm here!

Well, I am in Idaho. It took a lot for me to get over to that sign.... lol. First, I left from my dad's on Christmas day. Went home gathered up some stuff and did a few last minute things. I then proceeded to drive down to Tifton, where I parted with Vicki. It was very sad. We got up and headed out around 8:30 or so the next morning. It took us about 36 hours to get to Craig, Colorado. We spent 2 nights there with some friends. Then we drove down to Salt Lake City to see Emily. We spent the day with her and her family. We celebrated Amelia's birthday with them. That night we also went to Temple Square because I've never been there. It was Beautiful!!
After spending the night at Emily's little apartment, we got up the next morning and went to have ice cream. There's this really cool ice cream place called SubZero. It was amazing!! They freeze the ice cream right in front of you using liquid nitrogen. It was really cool. Then we drove up to Rexburg. We stayed with the awesome Hill Family for about a week. They are this family that Eileen knew on her mission. They are really nice. It's nice to know that there's somebody close by that will help you if you need it. I moved into my dorm on Saturday. I really like it except I don't like the bed. It's one of those lofted beds with space underneath for a desk. I can't sleep up there. I don't know what it is, either being up too high, or something. I slept on the couch last night. It was so hot in our room too. I slept with the window open! It snowed all day yesterday and a lot of today. It was so cool to be able to see snow falling. Today, Eileen and David and the girls came by to say goodbye. It was really hard to say goodbye to everyone. I have cried like a baby several times, but hopefully it will get easier once I get used to being out here. Here we are at Emily's with the snowman that the kids built.
