EXTRA long weekend!

This past weekend was an extremely fun and exciting one! I was able to go and be a part of some really great friends big special day! Katelyn and AJ got married on Friday and I was lucky enough to be one of Katelyn's bridesmaids! Their day was wonderful! Katelyn looked beautiful and AJ looked dashing! The happiness radiated off of their smiles that day and it made me so happy to see them so happy! I was lucky enough to be a part of it! 


















I got to skip two days of school which is a little stressful in college, but everything worked out and teachers were really understanding! I left home on Wednesday night and met my parents in Pocatello where Heidi and Kyle took Holli and my parents took me! Thursday morning we got ready and hit the road! My grandma Stocking was able to come with us because ironically my Great-uncle lives in Katelyn's ward in Connell, Washington. I was so glad she could come! 
















I was able to drive through Oregon which I have never done before...I even broke the law and pumped my own gasoline! That's just how I roll! But, after an 8 hour drive we finally arrived and went straight to bed! We were so tired! I woke up started to get ready and headed for the temple! 

The temple was beautiful and the skies were blue! It was a perfect day for a wedding! After pictures we headed over to the dinner where I was able to catch up with another great friend! Tanner! There was a group of us that hung out all the time last semester and I was so excited to see him! 

 

So my Great Uncle being the sweet guy that he is offered to book us a hotel room in Connell and well the first thing to know about this tiny little town is there is not much in it...I mean I think Paul is a step up from this little town. So we were thankful for his generosity and went to check into to the M&M Motel! First sign that it wasn't going to be good was the billboard out front that said..."Truckers Discounts and Pet Friendly." We knew we were in trouble! We get checked in and our nervous minds walked into the prison cell I mean hotel room! Not even joking...this place was disgusting. If any of you are familiar with the Rupert area I am pretty sure the Flamingo Inn by the fair grounds is a step up from this place! It was evident that this hotel was pretty hip in its day but we could not bring ourselves to stay in this room so we ended up just leaving our keys in the room and finding a different hotel. It was bad! But we were so thankful for our Uncle's generosity in helping us!

Saturday morning came and we packed up did a little shopping and made the great trek home! The fun didn't stop there though, because all of my sisters, except Erica, were home! It was so fun and all we did was veg but it was great, we had lots of laughs, did our traditional Jack in the Box at midnight, and spent lots of time with family! 

I am now back in Rexburg freaking out about all of the school I missed and how I am ever going to get caught up...but only a little over a month left of school and then my Summer vaca starts! All I need to do is keep going strong!
