There and back again

So this past weekend was a whirlwind of activity involving lots and lots of driving and some fun times with family and friends. After arriving in Salt Lake on Thursday, i commandeered Holly's saturn for a quick 3.5 hour drive up north to rexburg. Had a bit of a birthday party at Lorraine's apartment and caught up with old friends while making some new ones. I met my future roomates and I look forward to moving in with them in about two months. Spent the night at Cameron's and toured the campus the next day while attempting to find employment and some counseling. A yummy lunch later and i was out the door for another 3.5 hour drive through a bit of snow but nothing that slowed me down below 83 mph...oops? The trip was well worth it and now i am no longer as apprehensive about school, so mission accomplished. Dinner with the family was fun when i got back to Salt Lake except that Idaho had imparted a gift to me while i was there: a slight sprained ankle from a spectacular fall on the ice. So i was a bit gimpish but hey, when am i not? A poor nights sleep later and we were back on the road to home. We managed to avoid all the woes the forecasters had predicted and we arrived back to a rainy Modesto and warm beds. Gotta love it!
