Spring Break to Rexburg

So this weekend Chantel and I hit the open road for a baby Spring Break trip to Rexburg to visit her sis and to see Kylie dance! It was super fun and way relaxing, and made us actually fall in love with and appreciate good ol' Provo.
So lets see. Weekend Recap:
Friday night:
- We explored the lounge of the apartment complex that Chantel's sister manages, and it was sweeet! There was a computer lab, theater room (complete with a cuddling couple), gym, piano room, living room (fireplace included), and kitchen (with a cookie dough filled freezer).. it was niiice! We both decided we wanted to move in. 4 hour commute to Provo, no biggie.

- I introduced Chantel to these lovely gentlemen.

we fell in love and looked at girls ratings. While waiting for the couple to stop cuddling in the theater room so we could play!

- Then we watched this movie
and decided pretty much that Lindsay's hair and the blonde friend were the only good things about that movie. 

Then bedtime.. we slept under this fabulous light fixture. 
and yes, we did feel like 6 yr old boys. 

Saturday: Explore Rexburg Day
- woke up to a yummy breakfast thanks to Angie!
- then checked out the Cocoa Bean Cafe and got the cutest little ginormous cupcakes.
and yummy hot chocolate. 
Oh they were so heavenly! I got this raspberry cheesecake one, and Chantel got this chocolate nutella one... i dont't know exactly, but it was chocolatey and delish! 
My favorite part tho would have to be when Chantel got impatient and just wanted to eat the cupcake but still wanted to preserve it for the picture... so she simply lifted up the icing blob and ate from the center out.. so so funny!
pure skill. 

Then we drove around and found this little gem. 
(Huge globe on a trailer in a random abandoned lot behind an abandoned building.. not weird at all)
I love the world. 
Chantel loves Texas. 

We then found the one stretch of downtown, complete with Walmart, Quiznos, McDonalds, and Jack in the Crack. all the necessities really. 

We also found the reason Rexburg looks so dirty

And the reason it is so pretty!
 yeah the temple was so gorgeous, and so white, and cute, and little 
we love to see the temple, We'll go inside someday.. (when its not 9oclock and closed.. ) 

We then kicked back and attempted to watch this.. 
I however could not keep up. the time traveling lost me. not so much a fan. They looked really pretty though! (wow thats what i said about the last movie. maybe i should start listening more.. oh! or just watch everything with subtitles, cuz apparently my eyes work fine, its the ears not so good)

And finally the reason behind the trip.. Kylies dance show!
Sadly I was to wrapped up in trying to find kylie.. watching the dancing and forgot to take more pics. After the show I was tempted to pass my email up to the girl in front of me cuz she was snapping pics all night.. buuut thought that might be kinda weird. Anyways, Kylie did AMAZING! I was so proud to call her my friend. I have never seen her dance like choreographed and she is so good! She definitely impressed me much. 

Sunday: 
- drive to Idaho Falls
- meet a lovely cop
- turn around and go back to Rexburg
- then continue home! 
: ) 

It was such a fun weekend and I got to spend the whole time with my BFF. It was fun to be able to talk the whole time and catch up on life! 
oh and here are just some more random favorite weekend moments: 
       - Stopping at Wendy's, standing in line and talking to Chantel, when this boy starts dancing his way to get his food... both of us immediately stop talking and stare.. and that is why we are friends. 
      - Dancing to this man's song! 
 The moment sure got critical
    
     - Taking a walk through one of the apartments and coveting their perfume selections as well as decorating skills!  
     - curses!

  1. I just read the time traveler's wife the book. It was less confusing than the movie. And good, too!
