My Poor Car!

I went and saw the movie up tonight. It is a really cute movie. I advise you go and see it. Hopefully during it you wont recieve phone calls and texts from your room mate telling you to call her back asap. Yep, that is what happened to me. I did not notice that i had missed these calls until the movie was over, almost an hour after my room mate Bonnie had last tried to reach me. I got a hold of her and she told me that the tree in our front yard had split and that part of it was on top of the trunk of my car. We hurried home and this is what we found:



back view. good thing my lights are reflecting otherwise you wouldnt be able to see it.
Clint was nice enough to help me survey the damge and get the branch off my car once we got back to my house. Then he tried to break the branch off but that didnt work!
When I first heard that a tree had fallen on my car, i had envisioned it to be much worse than this. Luckily there was no structural damage. It does look like there are several scratches on the roof, trunk and side of my car. It is hard to tell though because it is so dark. I am anxious for morning to come so i can really survey the damage and figure out what to do about it. I am just so glad that it wasnt any worse.

Carnival fun

The other night me and some friends walked over to Zupas for dinner. On the way over we noticed that there was a carnival going on in the Alertsons parking lot. So we decided to stop by on they way home and have some fun. Random...

Yellowstone


One of my friends families has an amazing cabin about 20 minutes outside the West gates of Yellowstone. Last weekend me, clint and bryant took a little road trip up there. We had so much fun, even though we did get snowed and rained on pretty much the whole time




Real guick, here is what we did:
Thursday we left Provo around 7 at night we piled all of our stuff into my car and we were off. We pulled into Island Park, Idaho at 12 am. then we went for a walk down to the river. that was probably the only clear night we had while we were there. we then went back to the cabin and went to bed.
Friday we all slept in, when we woke up we realized we did not have any food for breakfast so we went to the store and bought us some basics; cereal and milk for five dollars each, eggs, cheese bread, etc. We went on a walk around the cabin down to the river, we also shot pellet guns and the boys jumped off of the bridge into the river. There were mosquito's everywhere, I have never seen so many in whole life!then it started to rain so we hung out in the cabin and played games. That night we drove up to West Yellowstone for dinner where we ate the most delicious buffalo burger and pulled pork sandwiches. Saturday we woke up early and drove into the park. we saw so many Buffalo, and lots of elk. We also saw two bears, but they we so far away we had to use a telescope to see them. it was still cool though, they were playing with each other I just wish they had been a little closer to get a good picture.

We went on a hike down to this river.

Then we drove around some more, and Bryant caught Clint sleeping, which he got in trouble for because he was supposed to be watching for bears. (I was watching the left, he was supposed to watching the right and Bryant was driving). We stopped at a place known as the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. This was so pretty the picture does not do it justice. It was amazing.

We then went back to West Yellowstone where we ate dinner, and then back to the cabin where we watched movies because once again it had started to rain and later turned into snow. I fell asleep at the beginning of the second movie which to anyone who has ever watched movies with me should not be surprised about. However, Bryant was determined to keep me awake. He kept getting in my face and waking me up. I am pretty sure in my sleep deprived state i threatened to "punch him in the face". At the point Clint realized that i must have been really tired to be threatening bodily harm to someone. So he came to mine and Bryants rescue and told Bryant to leave me alone. After that I slept great. Thanks Clint for saving me from regret!
Sunday we woke up early and drove into the park again, we went down to Old Faithful, which wasn't very faithul and was about 10 minutes late going off and then the to Yellowstone lake. Then back to the cabin because once again it had started to rain.
Monday we were all exhausted from too many late nights and too little sleep, so we slept in and then woke up cleaned the cabin and headed back to Provo.

We goofed off a lot, shared lots of laughs over stupid things that were said and done. We put 1,075 mile on my car. (It only had 775 miles on it when we left for the trip). and spent over 21 hours in the car. We had a blast and I want to go back.
