4 states, 3 days, 2 best friends, 1 crazy adventure!!!

It all started when my best friend Chels said "hey we should get a big group of people and go camping in Jackson." When it came down to it everyone started to drop like flies. But that didn't stop Chels and I. We decided to go up to Jackson Hole, WY because I have never been there before. The first adventure was figuring out where we were going to sleep. We decided to just take the seats out of Chels car and sleep in the car. We were both VERY excited about this decision and started on our way.

WE started around noon on Friday afternoon. We made our way up to Idaho. Of course we had to take pictures on the way.







On the way to Bandcroft Chels taught me my FAVORITE new game. Penny surfing. GREATEST game EVER!



First stop Bandcroft, ID.



5 of those 382 people I am related too!



Sedrah and I. I am FOR SURE her VERY FAVORITE aunt!

We went to Bandcroft because they had a rodeo for the 24th of July! SO of course I had to dress the part.





Although I have NEVER been on a horse we still needed our picture by it.



We had dinner with my family, then we were on our way to Jackson! I was VERY excited because I was a first timer.



our stop along the way was a bathroom break of course. We found a place to take some pictures to honor Pioneer Day!











When we pulled in to Jackson Hole it was dark so we just went right over to where the lights were.... We happened to come across the Fair! Of course we went right up to get on to the fairs wheel. I had NEVER been on one before so I this was another first time experiences.





Chels was a little nervous about it.



After the fairs wheel we had funnel cake... not as good as Disney's but pretty good



After the Fair we went to find somewhere to park our tent/car. We drove into a camp ground that was full so we just parked in the check in lot. It went really well because we had some friends who did the same thing.

The next morning we went into town and got some breakfast.





WE MADE IT!!!



WE of course got ready in the car and went shopping around the town of Jackson. There were so many great shops and the farmers market which was AMAZING!







WE went to lunch then we well on our way to Yellow Stone. WE went on a hike and took so incredible pictures of all the mountains around us. There is nothing like the outdoors. I LOVE everything about it! The smell, the hike, the water, the pictures, everything was amazing.















We also went on a Nature walk that was BEAUTIFUL!!! seriously i love the outdoors.



















When we were on our way to Old Faithful, we stopped a couple times and we almost ran out of gas. We were both holding our breath because we thought it would help. We made it to the gas station just in time. We had a great time at Old Faithful. I think Chels said it best "it was a lot cooler when i was little... still very cool though." I agree with her.





















While at Old Faithful we ran in to ask for directions for our next location. We came back out and this is how we found the car..... My very smart best friend Chels left the door open...



After our adventure in Old Faithful we made our way to West YellowStone. WE had dinner and did some more shopping. Always a great time.











These were our sleeping arrangements








as you can see we covered a lot of land. 4 states. It was a great time.. I now know i would NEVER want to live in my car. I do love a great adventure with my best friend.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my mom's birthday. She is the most incredible women in the world. I want to be just like her. I love every chance I get to be with her, just being in her presence makes me want to be a better person. I am one of the lucky six that get to call her mom in this world. I love you mom! I hope you have a great day!

Seven Eleven

I don't know if you knew but every year on 7/11 you can get free Slurpee's. It was the highlight of our day on Saturday. First we floated the river which is always a good time. I had a rough time at first because I had to use the crappy tubes but once I got use to it, I only flipped twice! I don't think Ashley Hall can say the same. We had a great time. Chris Jeps (my love in life) came to visit. We kept reminding ourselves "we have to go to seven eleven." The night was very busy, we are that cool, we didn't make it to seven eleven until 11:30. Good thing we still walked in saying Happy Birthday to everyone in the store and got a great taste of Heaven! What a great day! We are glad you are around seven eleven!


Ash and I after we survived the River! it was AMAZING. We are probably going again today.





We left the gummy bears in the car. This is what happened to them. We decide to see how long we could make them.... then Matt just ate them...



Shoes are the biggest part in the river. These were truly our life savors.



The group at Seven Eleven. Yes I asked some guy to take our picture... and he was VERY weird about it. We got the memory that's all that matters.

I love the Promise Land!!!

There are certain times in my life where i think to myself really Emo you just did that. My friend and I call them "classic Emo moments" these are what i should blog about more.

Last night I had a classic Emo moment. I came home from Orem and it was later. My roommate had already locked the door and my hands where full of stuff from home. I got my keys to unlock the door. I continued to bring stuff in from my car. When i was finished locked my car came inside and lock the door to my apartment. I talked to my roommate and went to bed.

This morning I was looking for my keys EVERYWHERE... I started to freak out because of course i was running late and I didn't want to be late to my golf class (yes I am taking a golf class... its AMAZING... when i'm done i'll see you on the course) I started to come to the conclusion I will just have to run to the golf course and be late.... I opened the front door and there were my keys... still left in the handle. Classic emo leaving the keys to her house and car in the drive way right there for all to see.

Good thing I live in the promise land and everything was still in tact. Really could have been a bad situation. I don't know how Papa Henshaw would have reacted to that one... "Hey dad I left my keys in the door and now my car is missing..." I am just guessing he would have been a little mad... Good thing I don't have to find out.

Stay tune for more classic Emo moments. They happen all of the time.

Seriously they are the greatest candy there ever was. I LOVE them so much. Just thought you should all know! :)

Rabbit Rabbit

My first year of college i learned many things from my best friend Paige. One of them being Rabbit Rabbit. Now at first I didn't really believe her but it is true. it is...

“Rabbit rabbit white rabbit” is a common superstition. The most common modern version states that a person should say “rabbit, rabbit, white rabbit” or simply "rabbit, rabbit" upon waking on the first day of each new month, and on doing so will receive good luck for the remainder of that month. (Wikipedia)

Paige told me four years ago... I have only remembered to say Rabbit Rabbit once (and it was so true. it was in November of 2007, I found out I was moving to Florida. all around a GREAT month.)

Today being July 1, 2009 I was laying in my bed thinking about what day it was... All of the sudden it hit me... July 1st Rabbit Rabbit. you better believe screaming out of my mouth this morning was those two words of RABBIT RABBIT!!!! it is just going to be the GREATEST month. I can feel it! :)

Try it in August... See what it does for you?

Emo

Goal in life....

This weekend I went up to babysit my niece and nephews... (Seriously I love them to pieces but that was the best birth control anyone could ask for... I will be happy to be a mom.... sometime in the future...) I went up on Friday, that night, while I was watching my nieces and nephew the neighbors decided to come over as well. I had this idea that I wanted to go running... but I was now watching seven kids. This was not going to stop me. I just had everyone grab their bikes and the little ones hop in the double stroller and we were off, I was pushing three kids... Lets just say I got my work out. Of course I started making up games with all the kids on who could beat Emo. It was a great time. I would say it is just a look into my future... (but not seven kids maybe five tops...)



While I was running I had the greatest idea... well really just a new goal to work towards... I want to run a marathon pushing a double stroller!!!! It is going to be the greatest!!! I told both of my sisters they are totally in. This is the bad part, marathon's don't really let you run with strollers... so now I have to make my own marathon. It is going to take a lot of preparation but I think I can make it happen. you just wait and get in shape now to be apart of it in the future...
