Busy Life

So I know that I am suppose to be updating this blog alot more often than once a month. Things have just been a little crazy lately.

Last weekend Hollie and I had the chance to go rafting with our singles branch. It was a total blast. It was the first time I had been with anyone buy my family. I have so many great memories from when we would go on our family trips down the Snake when we were kids. It took me back and made me feel a little bit homesick I guess for that carefree and fun life that we had. We have an amazing family, to have the friendships that we do with one another and for them to keep on growing even as we start our own families, I feel really blessed. Back to the rafting trip.... It was the first time I can remember being ejected from the boat, I had never gone over the side in a rapid until last weekend and it totally rocked. I had so much fun with my ward family and with my sister. Unfortunatly there are no pictures to document the trip because my camera is not waterproof and the elders in the ward took the pictures that we did get and I have not seen then since.

I am back home in good old Idaho Falls for the weekend visiting the folks and my brothers since they have both moved here. It is nice to come here and visit more than just my mom and dad although when it was just the three of us we had some good times together. I feel like now at this stage in my life I can call my parents friends and not just my parents, we have done alot together over the last few years and really had the chance to build our relationship to a different place, it is awsome. I am hoping to visit some old friends while I am here, I miss the people that I don't see everytime I come to visit.

That is about it though, it has been a month and the only thing that I have to talk about is a rafting trip.... What a sad social butterfly I turned out to be.... can we say I work to much ;-)
