Yes, micro-reports came each day I was gone on this last trip. Which I liked because, with coming home I didn't feel as overwhelmed by all the details to blast out here, or any guilt for having been away from the blog for a while.
I didn't use my big camera as much this visit as I thought I would have.
Reason? It's big. I wanted a carefree vacay. That's what I got, by documenting a lot with my phone's camera instead. Was also a plus not to TOTALLY stick out like a tourist. Can't really explain it, but of all places to look like a tourist? The 'Burg is not a place I like to take on that role.
Funny looks. People avoid you. And really, it was a vacation for me, but I know this place like the back of my hand! (Somebody, anybody, wanna tell me why we use THAT figure of speech? It's odd if you think about it. Do we really stare at the backs of our hands all the time? Just odd. ::shudders::)
But like I promised, less words from Rexburg. So not too many more from here on, except to explain that this is a photo-tour of some of my favorite things in one of my favorite places.
Friday Night:
(The little snippet of Taylor & Darren's reception we actually BARELY made it in time for...was in a hurry, so they're not as awesome as if I'd been there ON TIME!!!...or had my brain with me...They were married in the Rexburg LDS Temple, btw...)
(Upon arrival at the Garden of Egan...)
Saturday:
(Tauna's neighbors' yards with forts & a tree swing in the distance!)
 |
| I need me a clothesline for. sure. |
(Tour of the 'Burg on Foot...)

(Upon coming home that night...)
 |
| Aren't those the most wicked fangs you've ever seen on a cat?!? Sweet guy. |
Sunday:
 |
| Fave memories from our room/stay/getaway. Loved it! |
|
Monday:
 |
| Baby on the left, Beans on the right. |
 |
| Our room. Beds made. Time to say goodbye....but we didn't want to... |
 |
So, Mini-Me created a custom Thank You note instead!

Howie's an awesome guy. He & Tauna are perfect together! |
 |
| The adventure wouldn't have been complete without this shot! |
(The LONG drive home...)
 |
| HAD to pull over for this gorgeous sunset just south of Baker, OR by a little bit. |
Tuesday:
 |
| Home, but battling the typical slumpy-back-from-Idaho-sinuses...So I tossed up Mini-Me's surprise souvenir from the trip that I picked up at Porter's. She loved it when she saw it after school! |
What you can take to the bank from this post is not only does Rexburg still feel like home because of the places & people...but it's a place where I feel extremely close to my Savior. The picture below is called "To Be With God" (by Simon Dewey). It's exactly how I felt all weekend...so I picked up a print of this while at Porter's so I could put it in my scriptures....kinda like capturing the memories & feelings in a bottle of sorts for me.
Have a weekend of your own, spent close to the Lord!
