6:42pm: I almost died.
So if you want to see pictures you will have to look at my facebook...
Amber and I were going to these hot springs in the middle of nowhere with some guys. they said it was going to be a little hike. WRONG. Amber was wearing flip flops and they told her to go get shoes. she was like i will be ok. i dont want to go inside again. thinking it was going to be a 20 minute hike. no no it took us two hours. not on a trail. ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. it was sooooo scary. i was walking with these three boys and all three of them fell at the smae part of the trail where it was really icy. they said something about me not falling...right when they said taht BOTH feet flew out from underneath me and i fell flat on my butt..it hurt so bad. we finally got there. it was really warm. the water was warm at least. it was like 20 degrees outside. or colder. then we decide to leave. did i mention naked old people everywhere. it was sick. haha. we started climbing down. my hair is frozen. i didnt even get it wet. but the steam froze it. we are going the only part that is the trail is ice. so you can either walk on the ice and hope you dont slide of the edge of the cliff to your death. or walk on the snow under the ice adn hope you dont slip of the edge to your death. so i am sliding down it on my butt. and i told amber it felt safer to do that. she had shoes by then...and one of the boys was wearing his flip flops. she slid...and grabbed onto a tree just in time before she flew off the mountain. i slid into her and grabbed onto the same tree. then devin ran into me. it was so scary. people falling left and right. then the fun began it got dark and we were only halfway done. we couldnt see the footprints of the other hikers. there is no trail. we are on the side of a very steep mountain that has an icy river at its base. no cell phone service. we didnt have service for almost 100 miles...something like that. we are falling and sliding witht he boys ctching me and amber. she was way ahead of me. i could hear her scream. thinking that she was dead and fell off the mountain. so scary. we are literally leaning holding onto the snow and walking in the icy footprints of the people taht went before us. with a huge drop underneath us. finally got some shoes for josh.we stopped for a second so devin could tie his shoe. but then i heard the icy river flowing beneath us. amber said she weas scared of heights...so i look down and i was like i think i am scared fo heights too. My legs are shaking. amber and the two boys helping her just decide to slide dwon the mountain to the car. she screams so loud and i again think she is dead. but then i see her walking to the car. while i am still at the top of the mountain. devin goes. amanda when this is over you are going to laugh about it. i looked at him and was like i dont think so. we slide down the mountain part way. it is so steep and there are trees everywhere. i am crying now. i was so scared. i was like i just want to call my mom. we decide to walk the rest of the way down falling every 3 steps because my legs are so shaky. but i made it out alive. omg that is the most scared i have ever been in my life.

2:16am: so

3:06am: yay
today i got three things in the mail...two i was expecting (from wendy(erin) and from my mom) and one from TARA THOMSON!~ thanks guys. i love the sign, and i would put it up but we took everything down today when we were packing... i already really miss yall. and now i do more. i cant wait to come home next week and see you again. i love you all. yay for ga. now if i could just transplant idaho right next to ga...my life would be perfect.

2:47pm: as i am sitting here...starting to pack my stuff, i keep thinking about how much i am going to miss this place. im going to miss my room. my roomate. our living room and kitchen. even the bathroom. and emily's room and katies room. i am going to miss hangin out at #8 and learning how to make elk calls. im sad that i have to leave. and that i am moving out of kensington for good. well heres to ga and colonial house i guess.

4:29pm: i take it back.
i guess i really did adn still do have freakin awesome friends in duluth. its just going to be hard to keep in touch with them. thanks guys... i love all of you! and if you want my address im me because i dont want to give it to the whole world...or you can look on collin or wendy's lj...adios

1:24pm: i'm sad
i dont even want to come home. i want to stay here in idaho where the days are great and full of fun. the people are awesome. i dont know what i am going to do when i am home for 4 months. just work i guess. its crazy because i feel like the duluth kids already forgot me. everyone has my address. and they all said they would send me something. but have i gotten anything from anyone except my mom. no. its times like these that make you wonder how good of friends you were with these people. things seemed perfect back then but now not so much. in contrast. the people here always call. always give cute notes just to say i love you and have a fun weekend. i cant wait to get back to idaho. the only reason i am excited to come home is to see my new nephew that will be born shortly. and of course my other family members. but dont worry too much i promise i will go to at least one football game. alright i gotta get back to the idaho life! see ya later alligator.

o yeah and i'm embarassed to admit...that i have started shopping for clothes at walmart...i guess thats rexburg for ya.

10:31pm: slc roadtrip summer 2005...#2
well this weekend was interesting to say the least. we got today (monday) off of school because of pioneer day. its a mormon holiday...but its pretty much the 4th of july all over again with parades and fireworks. so i cant say this weekend was exactly fun...but it didnt suck. some crap went down that i dont really want to elaborate on. but it was dumb and i am just frustrated with the whole situation in general. anyways. we stayed at my friends grandparents house. we got there at like 10 on friday night and the boys didnt show up in slc until 2 on saturday mornin. we ate at dennys before they came and sat in between two tables of really weird teenagers that thought they were cool. then i slept. saturday was pointless. we woke up. took showers. left the house at 2 to go eat breakfast at ihop. after we ate we went to the mall and i bought a $5 dress. then we went back to the house and slept. we got up around 9:30 that night and decided to go eat at olive garden. we ate a lot and then went to my friends cousins house to drop off the boys. got totally lost and drove for like an hour. we were going the right way on this highway...but we ended up at the airport instead of the house so we kept driving. anyways since i am the only one that remotely knows my way around salt lake, it was pretty much all my fault that we got so lost. but people dont realize that i was 12 when we moved. and i only know my way around the cities my family lives in....so we finally made it there and we ended up playing lots of nintendo and just hanging out. turns out her cousin dated one of my baton friends. so i got her # and talked to her, but that was on sunday...so anyways. we left and went to sleep.

sunday and monday. woke up for church...and then went to church. then we went back to my friends grandmas and had a bbq with her family. i really wanted to see my friend brooke..but she was at a church thing and couldnt see me. and i really wanted to see my uncle, but he wasnt in salt lake that weekend. so i was frustrated and not able to see the people taht i really wanted to see. so we sat and ate and ate. and then left for the park. so heres the deal. therres a days of 47 parade in slc. and people are way into it. people camp out all night just to set out their chairs at 6 in the morning so they can get the front row. we decided to do that. so we didnt get there until 10 pm so all the spots to sleep on the good side of the street, the shady side, were taken. so we put our blankets down in the park by this intersection and got ready for the night. sat and did nothing. saw a guy get arrested around 3:30. then called my mom at 3:30 (5:30 ga time) just to tell her that she was waking up to go to work and i still wasnt asleep that was fun. we slept from 4:30 to 5:45 assuming that they would close the road at 6 because you have to be awake when they close the streets to put your chairs up. we wake up at 5:45 and see people running to the streeet with chairs. so we get up and run too. then when our chairs are set up the cops drive by adn say it wont be closed for at least 15 mins. so we have to take all the chairs back. then we sit up until they close the road. we claim our spots. we were starving. we almost went to burger king at like 4:00 because we were so hungry. but we waited until 6. we went and got breakfast. then sat on our chairs to watch the marathon race. i felt like a bum watching them run when i was eating french toast sticks and hash browns. i finished eating and my seat buddies brady and brittany realized that we were tired still. so we went back to our blankets and slept. at some point we were sleeping and it started raining. i think that was earlier though, and we didnt have tents or anything just blankets and pillows. so i woke up right when the parade started. we sat there. there was this guy handing out pamphlets that said that all mormons would perish if they didnt repent. and he held a big sign telling us to read the king james version of the bible...which we already do...and on the other side telling us that we were going to hell. we just laughed. the funny thing was we couldnt really tell what the whole thing said because he wrote it to small. and then it was way cool. this parade is a mormon parade. with floats from all different wards (congregations) and stakes (groups of congregations). it was awesome. but by far the best part was that the Prophet, Gordon B. Hinkley, was in the parade. this is the only reason why i am so glad we had front row seats. he was sooooooo close, i almost cried when he drove by because you can just feel how close to God that man is. he looked and waved at us. and we waved back and told him we loved him. then the man with the sign ran down the sidewalk yelling obscenities at President Hinkley. that made me not happy. anyways it was hot and we were in the sun. i forgot to change into my tshirt. so i was wearing an cordury jacket that i couldnt take off because i had a spaghetti strap on underneath. it was so hot. we watched the parade and had fun. then we went to the grandparents house again and got our stuff and ate lunch. then we drove home to idaho.

this weekend had its fun times...and its sucky times. i wont say it was awesome because it wasnt, but i saw the prophet so it was amazing! i wish i had a car of my own out here. i have homework to do and a midterm to study for. and a gym to go work out in. so i will write in here some other itme. miss yall georgians. less than 4 weeks until i am home! kinda excited. just kinda.

11:30pm: i da ho...no u da ho
so my time here is half up. i will be home a month from today. and i am sad. i miss all my duluthians... but i love my new idahoans. i love everyone here. so since i have been here i have: played putt putt. gone to the lake. gone rafting. gone bridge jumping. had a pizza eating contest after getting totally lost looking for the pizza place. star gazed. broke a door. learned how to crochet (a boy taught me). blew cantalopes up with cannons. had a water balloon fight. talked to my friends until 3 in the morning. watched tons of movies. broken curfews. got stuck on the side of the road halfway to salt lake. met lots of fun people. done lots of cool things. learned a lot. read lots of scriptures. done some homework. and learned that i love byui better than i would have liked any other school. ever. this place is AMAZING. and sometimes i wish i didnt have to go home...

8:33pm: guard girls!
