The theme of this post will be driving. Kory and I have started commuting to Rexburg together, which is a blast. On MWF we sometimes have Austin join us, since he and Leah recently moved to Idaho Falls. We drop Morgan off at her mom's house, because her school doesn't start until 9:00, then we usually listen to a conference talk to two. Then we drop Kory off at the Rexburg seminary and head up to campus.
On the way home, I sometimes make Kory's day by getting him a Coke from McDonalds before I pick him up. Kind of takes the edge off. Then, we head to I.F., pick up Morgan from her after school program and head home and make dinner. I was laughing one day this week. Kory wanted to borrow a lesson plan from a teacher at Hillcrest. The teacher happened to live in Ucon, so we met at the Ucon gas station, and as I watched them exchange these little baggies of ideas, I felt like I was watching a drug deal.
This weekend we had no kids, so we decided to live it up (in the way old married people do). We went to dinner at this cheesesteak place we've been wanting to try in Idaho Falls and it was SOOOO good. Right next to the Museum of Idaho.
That night, we went to see Sully--the new Tom Hanks movie. Loved it. Such a great story and surprisingly suspenseful. After that we tried to get some hot chocolate (due to the pouring rain) but got to Starbucks right after they had closed, so we ended up with McDonalds hot chocolate.
On Saturday we got some shopping done and then headed on a little scenic loop. We went to Ashton and took highway 32 over to Tetonia. Gorgeous fall colors and the rain made everything a little extra lush and vivid. This is the area my Grandpa Gee grew up in and farmed and I think it's so beautiful.
In Driggs, we ate at The Royal Wolf, which I had tried earlier with some friends, but it was Kory's first visit. Highly recommend.
On the way home, we stopped at the Cache/Clawson cemetery. Kory's great-grandpa and grandma are buried there and my grandpa's brother is buried there too.
We headed home through Sugar City and Rexburg, so we stopped in at my parents for a little bit, and picked up some delicious raspberry jam at Shawn and Amy's. I made it home just in time to watch the Women's Conference--which was great. I'm excited for next weekend. Then Kory watched football, prepared his Primary lesson, and I made stew. Happy fall!
Kory got grabbed to be in a selfie. Phoebe saw it on Snap Chat later and was like, "Hey, that's my dad." |
