I am so exhausted. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast! This place is amazing. Today we went to Walmart AND Costco - there isn't even that in Rexburg! So great right!? I love Costco, more importantly I love the muffins at Costco. While hunting for samples, I found the "Ugly Stick". I know you thought it didn't really exisit - OH IT DOES! I have proof. But its not what you think it is. Its not something that you get hit with or anything like that, its a fishing pole. Yes, a fishing pole! The high light of my life!


I realized last night that my "epic adventure" blog hasn't really mentioned much about my epic adventures. So I figured I'd fill you in really quick like. On Thursday my roommate and I went on an adventure. We walked down to beach of Gastineau Channel and tried to find clams that we could pry open and look at. Mean I know, but they look nasty. Then Chelsi decided it would be a great idea to try to cross the great divide that separated us from the where the channel was dry enough to almost cross it. I refused to participate in such adventures, mostly because that river was huge and I didn't want to have to climb down vertical limit to get to the other side. No thank you! With my luck, I would end up rolling down that hill like a rolly polly. Sounds fun! So we turned around and decided to walk over the bridge and go look at some of the fancy colorful houses that are up on the hill across the river. They are really colorful - red, lime green, sky blue. Out of control!

Even though I was dying cuz I'm fat and have old smoker lungs, I made it to the park that is at the top of this neighborhood we went to go look at. In this park there was the glacier melt off river thing. It was clear and clean and nice and I just wanted to swim in it! Also there was a creeper smoker guy that just stared us and down and couple of awkward people... we'll leave it at that. Chelsi got way sketched out and I was oober tired so we started to voyage home. It was a fun adventure and a really pretty view!

On the way home it was pouring rain but we saw a seal. It was poking its head out of the water and just looking around. We decided it would be a great idea to make noises at it and see if it would do anything. All it did was look at us like we're idiots and swim away. And we continued our walk home.

One more adventure. Today I drove the trolley. That thing is trippy! The engine is inside the car and driver sits directly in the middle of said car. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever driven in my life. I had to not kill anyone while making sure I stayed in my lane. The guys made fun of me. Now they know they can't forget their helmet if I'm driving the trolley! It was rough, I tell you what! But now I am "trained" to drive the satan mobile and all is well! Thus finishes my 10 hours of dual driving. It only took me three days. I wanted to cry so  bad. But Dylan was my dual driving buddy and I knocked out the rest of  the 5.5 hours I had left today and BAM! done. So great!
