Road Trip to Rexburg

Oh Rexburg. You will always be a part of me; my home away from home. I loved attending college at BYU-Idaho and had so much fun with friends and school activities. I loved my professors in the Communications Department. I even had pretty great classmates most of the time. That's why I am so excited that Jamie and Samantha are at BYU-I right now. Since summer was always my favorite semester, Derek and I couldn't resist the urge to road trip it up there to spend some time with our sisters and our lovely friends Robyn and Luke.

Here are the highlights:
  • Seeing the new iCenter
  • Sleeping over at Robyn's apartment. Her and Luke are such cute newly weds. I loved it. They took such good care of us.
  • Seeing Jamie and Samantha
  • The Sand Bar...even though it was freezing
  • Playing on the trains and playing games Sunday while it rained
  • Snoasis
  • The Sand Dunes
  • Sunday Dinner...we all pitched in and made a great feast of chicken enchiladas with salad and these delicious cupcakes for dessert. 
Sadly, I don't have pictures of all of these events but trust me...we had a grand ol' time. See for yourself.

  1. What a fun trip! I've never been to Idaho before, but this makes me want to go. And it also makes me want shaved ice. :)

Wise Men Still Seek Him Free Printable

UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your holiday season. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So the past couple of days I have really been thinking about how I can reflect the true meaning of Christmas in my home. We live in a small two bedroom apartment and there isn't much room to decorate. This morning I was watching the video Wise Men Still Seek Him   and felt inspired to create a printable for my home. It's a good reminder to not only seek Him this time of year but thr

Big News!

So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5

Please Tell Me...

Please tell me you guys have done this before because I just can't be the only one. This has happened twice to me now and I just feel ridiculous about it. I am shopping and Brooklyn is in her carseat sleeping and the diaper bag is in the main part of the cart. I am getting my groceries and just start putting stuff in around the carseat and diaper bag. I check out, get my bags, and head out to the car. I load the groceries in the car and then take Brooklyn out to put her in the car and I find stuff I haven't paid for. It slid underneath her carseat or the diaper bag and there it is. First time, it was pie crust and the second time it was shampoo. I try to check everywhere but something always seems to slip underneath the carseat and in my hurry I just miss it. I feel so dumb but at this point Brooklyn is buckled in and I am in a hurry to get her home. For those of you with small children you know how difficult it is to repack it all and get back in there when they could wa
