Celebrate Idaho.....

In mid-May I had the opportunity to take an amazing stroll down memory-lane - one of my favorite destinations. :)

I flew into Boise first and got to spend some time with the cutest nieces and nephew on the planet. The timing was perfect because I got to be a part of our family fundraiser for Relay for Life. This year we're celebrating Bronwyn's five-year anniversary of being tumor-free. To donate to our team click here. A million thanks!

Marie and I then hopped in her van with our lovely friends Alison and Lue and headed for the familiar streets of Rexburg and Sugar City. Highlights included:
- Seeing Stacie and meeting her new little twins
- Dinner at Gringos!
- Snowcones.....classic.
- The familiar sights and feelings of 'home'.
- The beauty of Island Park
-Catching up with about 36 hours of hanging out and talking
- Reminiscing - we laughed so hard we cried. And sometimes we just cried.
-Visiting Candria
- The reaffirmation of the blessing of life-long friendships.
- A surprise visit from my mom when I got back to Boise

Before the extreme heat arrived....

We took advantage of the end of the semester (end of April and beginning of May) and pre-summer weather  with some good times. 

Sausage in Elgin and home-made honey nearby.

A rooftop showing of the Princess Bride at Whole Foods. Good show, good food and great friends.

Burgers and a Broadway show with Ian and Jess.

A wee bit of bragging...

C would never brag. It's simply not his style (which is one of the things that makes him so awesome.) I, however, have no problem bragging about him.

At the end of the school year the Geography department held an awards and scholarships ceremony where C was given two (the only recipient to receive more than one I might add:) ) awards. I was so proud of him and he absolutely deserved it.  We celebrated afterward by attending the annual alumni barbeque at Aquarena Springs which is always a great time.
