Blikes, Chili, & Elders

Our internet died again! AH! We have been without it for a week now and it has been impossibly annoying! The only way we can get the internet now is by sitting in our car close to our neighbors house. We don't want to waste gas, so we are bundled up in blankets in our car doing homework. Ha ha we look like homeless hermits. Again with trying not to waste gas, we have been trying to only make one trip into town a day. We have to plan everything out and get everything done in that one trip. This morning we were going to come in, take our Math 108 test, hit up the gym, Andrew wanted to give plasma so while he would do that I would go tanning (yes mom, I know... skin cancer comes with tanning beds) and I would blog. We would go back to the house, clean it and make dinner for the Elders who are coming at 4:45 tonight. BUT (there always seems to be a "but" to throw a wrench in my plans) I lost my Icard. Without that stupid little card I would be unable to take the test or go to the gym. AH! After revamping our plans for the fifth time, we decided to bike the estimated 6.5 miles into town, get some things taken care of, bike the 6.5 miles back out to the house, feed the missionaries, then drive back in to finish everything else. Hopefully I will be able to find my Icard by then so that we can go to the gym to lift weights and swim a bit.
The bike ride of doom: Oh my goodness! The wind in Rexburg it nigh unto a tornado! How is it that any direction we are going, we are biking against the wind?! Oh jeepers. Andrew just donated plasma and was dying on the way back home. It seems some how or another, I am close to killing my husband everyday. Or maybe he's just a wimp... Either way we ended up riding home in a blizzard/rain storm.
 we went to work right away on the house and making dinner. The Elders called wondering were we lived. They had been given a ward list but it hadn't been updated so they had no idea where they needed to be. So, Andrew gave them some quick directions and they made it safe and sound. Dinner was amazing! I made some awesome White Chicken Chili, or at least Andrew said it was awesome. Collin Judkins came over when we were finished to go with the missionaries to a few lessons, he joined us for the spiritual message and then they took off. Andrew and I were in food coma, but we didn't want to just lay around so we decided to pull each other from my bike on a long board! So much fun! It was cold and kinda snowing on us, but it was a really good work out. What a wonderful way to spend our 1 month Anniversary.
We'll update you on how the Primary Lesson goes tomorrow, but for now, Good Night!

  2. From the sounds of your adventures, I am very happy that you both have good health insurance, or at least you should. Tornadoes, crashing on bike trails, high winds, fierce biting ants,long boarding from a speeding bike, moose and wild dog hunts.... maybe even consider life insurance.
