Well, I had a great time visiting Jon. Ericka and I were a tamed down version of Thelma and Louise. It seemed like the 12 hour drive just flew by. We had fun chatting all the way. I got to go to 2 classes with him on Friday...we watched an extra credit movie in Psycology titled "Happiness" and I met his professor in Pre-Law. He was a funny old man. He even gave me the quiz the kids were taking. I was huffing a puffing everywhere we went. I feel so out of shape!! I ran into my old friend Stephanie Crain AGAIN....I've seen her every year I've gone to Mothers week. She lives in New Hampshire.
I got to check out the dorm room, which was very clean and tour the building to see where laundry and stoves were.
I took Jon alot of groceries and a big pumpkin filled with candy. I asked him to sit here so I could get a picture of him in his room. I took him and Josh (his roomie) to the store. I was able to give him a haircut too!!
Saturday we did some shopping and went to the mother/son banquet with Ericka and William. It was delicious.
Here's our group Sat. night after the Natalie McMaster concert we went to after dinner. She is a fiddler and plays Irish type music. It was wonderful!! Ericka's daughter Brooke (where we stayed) came along for the concert. Brooke babysat for Jenny and Jon when they were little. She lives in Parker just outside of Rexburg and we stayed at her house.
These are Brooke's 2 adorable kids Savannah and Hudson. They liked playing a chase game with me. Sunday I went to church with Jon and he got set apart for 2 callings he's recieved. After church we went to Brooke's where I had put Cafe Rio on for dinner. Then we played games until Jon and William went back to campus.
This is Biscuit....Brookes dog. He lives outside on their property and we couldn't even go outside without being jumped on. We were quite a sight to see as we tried to get to the house from the car and visa versa. He is cute...but watch out!!
We woke up Monday morning to a little snow. It was actually very cold our entire stay. The wind blew like crazy and it snowed every day. It just never stuck. I was in my thermal's every day. The temperature highs were like 34 and lows into the 20's....but with the wind chill it was very cold!!
On our way home there was more snow near Pocotello. It was beautiful. We passed through the mountains with no snow at all. It was toasty when we got home (like in the 50's) I was so glad I went....I LOVE YOU JON!!!

It looks like you had a wonderful time! Sounds like there was lots to do while you were there. Jon looks great. I am glad that college is agreeing with him! :)
The college guy looks great! How does he like school so far?? Who are Thelma and Louise? I don't remember them, I need a mind jogger. The snow looks pretty. It has been slightly cooler here, but still warm in the afternoons. I can't imagine snow! Anyway, I LOVE your blog! I love all the pictures! I miss hearing from you. We kind of traded e-mail for blogs... but now you aren't blogging that often, either.
Well, lets say this....we traded phone calls for e-mails....then we traded e-mails for blogs...what's wrong with this picture? We need to communicate more often! :)
Sorry Seester....Yes it is sad My life is so busy these days. It even took me 3 days just to finish this post. Thelma and Louise was the name of a movie about 2 women who go travelling by car...I KNEW you had never heard of them. I actually never even saw the movie, but I heard about it.
Shelly, I did see Thelma and Louise and you'd have to be a WAY toned down version!
Glad you had a good trip... Jon looks great! (You do too!)
Hi shelly, great to hear from you... our boys have really grown up, it just took longer for mine to choose the right path. your son is a great example and you should be so proud. brad will be home next week and i can hardly wait...by the way, what chris were you walking with? and can i add you to my blog? love ya, diana
Hi Shelly. It looks like you had a great trip. How fun to have some snow. And yes, unless your trip involved Brad Pitt and other crazy things, it was a way toned down version of Thelma and Louise. Haha!
