Kinda random :)

Well, this is kind of random but I thought that it would be cool to share. I (Kristen) have a really good friend that is going to Switzerland to do a kind of foreign exchange student thing. she is going all by her self for 4 months! We had a fun going away party for her and this is actually a pretty cool picture. these are 4 of my best friends!! and don't concentrate too hard on what I look like. I was the one taking the picture and I had to concentrate real hard. we had been taking pictures for about 10 minutes straight because I couldn't get everyone in the picture. so don't mind me! (left to right: Abby Wade, Nellie Kacher (girl going to Switzerland), Camari Remund, Ashley Huntington, and ME!!!)

Blog Restrictions

Hey, I opened it up so that anyone can read it. How does everyone feel about this? I think this will make it easier for people who may not want to write or actually have an account. At least they can view it. Please leave feedback and I can change it accordingly. I created a little poll on the side that will end on 10/10/08.

Edventure: 50 miles and still livin'

Hey, so the 4th of August me (Ed) my dad and my priests quorum went on a 50 miler up through the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. Wow was it beautiful. Here are some pics but these don't even do it a fraction of the justice it deserves. There is something about being there and hearing and smelling it along with the beautiful view. But I think the general consensus was that the teriyaki style chicken was the best of our dehydrated meals. We also had the opportunity of trying mexican style rice and chicken (the worst by far), oriental style rice and chicken (okay, looking back, they were all pretty far from real), and lasagna. In the morning we had eggs that had a similar texture to that of a sponge, and we even had dessert. Blueberry cheesecake was the only thing that kept us motivated. Though far from real, it was real far from nasty. Anyways, the water was an average of 40 degrees and we swam in every lake that we camped at. You can see that we found a natural waterslide which was absolutely amazing. I deffinitely won the most preferred by the mosquitoes contest. I think we counted about 17 on just my back after the first night. Who forgot to tell me that mosquitoes had no problem biting through shirts. I think I went through a 24 oz. bottle of mosquito repellent though (a lot of good it did me). But wow, I would do it again in a heartbeat. And the finish it off, we hiked the last day in hail the size of marbles...yeah, it did hurt. Anyways, thanks for sharing in another of Ed's Edventures. Wow, that is corny but I kinda like it.

For All Those Crazy Twilight Fans!!!

Well, the new book is now out and whoever is reading I'm sure is loving it. But, the book came out last night at midnight and Jessica and I (Kristen) were so fortunate to have our hand on it at noon yesterday. Yes, that's right, me and jess had this book 12 hours before the rest of the world. We were in days market and we happened to run across it. Days is no book store but there is was. Somebody must have accidentally put the book our early and not realized what happened. but, we paid for the book and left as quick as we could. I am reading it now and I just can't put it down.
Thought that this was a crazy enough story to stick on the blog. TO ANYONE READING THIS BOOK... we need to have a get together and chat:) I am dying to discuss this book with someone! I love you all and hope to be able to talk to you soon about this amazing new book!!!
