Weekend In Rexburg!

I decided that after almost a year and a half since I left school back in July of 2008, it was time to head back to Rexburg for a visit! :] I checked Macy out of school early on Friday afternoon, and with Jamba Juice, some fast food, and a full tank of gas, we were off! Clarin was supposed to come with us on our little adventure, but she got a better offer having a movie night with some of her friends. We gave her a pretty bad time about ditching us and wish she would have come. We arrived in Rexburg around 3:30, and after dropping off our stuff at Mike and Brit’s way cute house, we decided to take a tour of the campus. I can’t believe how much it has changed since I’ve been there! They totally re-did the whole Manwaring Center including the bookstore, which is amazing! I was a little bummed that they totally demolished The Galley. I have so many good memories there. The whole cafeteria area, which they named the Crossroads, is amazing. The style is super modern and I just thought it all looked so awesome! Mace and I headed over to the Benson building to hunt Brit down. She was tutoring a biology class and then had to go to work so we wanted to say hi and we eventually were able to find her classroom over by the “rainforest.” My good friend Jake Hartranft and I met up for dinner at New Fong’s and Macy and Mike decided to join us. Fong’s was one of my most favorite restaurants to eat at while I was at school, and we had a great dinner with delicious food and good company. After dinner, Macy, Jake and I headed to the Westwood for the We Shot the Moon concert. It was my fifth time seeing them in concert! They performed with Preston and Allred. It was a great show all around. I got to see a few old friends, and do some reminiscing about memories from school. It kind of made me sad. After the show, we had to go get drinks and Idaho Spuds at Horkley’s! Jake dropped us off at Mike and Brit’s and we got comfy and fell asleep after watching “The Invasion” which was a totally creepy movie! We slept in late, and then headed off to Paul Mitchell to get pampered! Brit and Macy got pedicures, and I got a manicure. The girl didn’t do a very good job, but it was still a fun thing to do with my sisters. Jake picked me up and we headed to Idaho Falls to go to lunch at Blue Hashi. It is an amazing sushi restaurant that we frequented a lot during school. We had a great lunch date. I really enjoy spending time with Jake. He dropped me off afterward at the Mongolian Grill where Macy and Brittany were having lunch. We went to Target to visit Mike and bring him lunch. Then we headed to the mall to do some shopping. We were supposed to head back home, but it started snowing pretty bad so we decided to stay another night instead of risking the drive home. I found out that the weather had caused the band to flip their van and trailer while on their way to Salt Lake to perform. Scary! Luckily, no one was hurt, but they did suffer over $10,000 in equipment damage. I was glad we decided to stay put. After the mall we stopped at Walmart for a few things, and then headed back to Rexburg. Jake picked me up and we got Taco Bell and watched “August Rush” at his apartment. He dropped me off afterwards, and we all went over to Janelle and her husband Luke’s house to visit. We had pie and ice cream and played “The Bean Game” which was really fun. It was pretty late when we left, but when we got home we made hot cocoa and fell asleep watching “Angels and Demons.” We slept in again, and after playing a game of “Trains” we packed up and headed for home. The roads were clear and dry, and we made it home safe and sound. It was a great weekend, but we are glad to be home!
