I now have TWO siblings here with me in Idaho! It is the most wonderful feeling to have family close by and know that you can go see them whenever you feel like it.
My family came Saturday and it was so fun to show Spencer around BYU-Idaho's campus. The school has been going through a ton of construction and renovation and it looks awesome. The new cafeteria is AMAZING!
Seriously, I was jealous. It was kinda ghetto when Bert and I ate there, and now it's this real chic, huge and modern space. I told Spencer I'm going to come and eat lunch with him. :)
He is very excited to start school and his excitement made me kinda wish that I was going back to school too! Maybe it's the nerd in me, but I think it's fun to get your books and supplies and get dressed in your new "first day of school" outfit.
BYU-Idaho was such a great school and I feel so blessed to have received my degree in such a wholesome and gospel-oriented environment.
I don't think my mom was as excited for Spencer to start school as I was though. Her third baby has left the nest. She's excited for him in this new chapter of his life but wishes she could still hug him every day. There were a few tears as she said goodbye to us but I'm proud of her for keeping it together.
After the goodbyes, Scott, Bert, Spencer, his friend/roommate Eric and I went to the
EAST IDAHO STATE FAIR!
It's always a good time and the epitome of Idaho livin', so it was the perfect icebreaker for Spencer.
Bert found a cow that shares her name: Brittany.
She felt bad for this mini-horse. He looked so ghetto and lonely.
This goat slobbered all over Scott's hands. ew.
The goats and their "bodily functions" were the humor highlights of the day.
Bert rode the mechanical bull! She did pretty good despite the controller's efforts to buck her off. He had her spinning in circles for about 15 seconds. Bert screamed the whole time.
The trip to the Fair wouldn't be complete without sinking our teeth into some corn.
Scott waits for this all year long.
And he talks about it all year long.
But I agree, it's finger lickin' good.
"Boots, chaps and cowboy hats…. nothing else matters."
And I would add...
TURKEY LEGS
tiger ears
teryaki bowls
raspberry lemonade
cheeseburgers
french fries
tortatoes
caramel apples
CORN
...nothing else matters.

Your mother and sister were lovely. I'm glad you have family close by.
The Idaho State fair was the first time I saw a live cow up close. I had only seen them when I was driving by them on the freeway. I had no idea they were so huge! I think I was like 20 years old.
Off the subject-are you guys coming to our house for Thanksgiving? We would love to have you and hopefully you can stay longer this time.
Sooo fun! We loved the fair too! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Thanks for your advice on my one-sheet...I made the changes, and it sounds a lot better!
