Field Trip

We looked at sandstone today...like we have most of the time. These were pretty cool though.

Look at these BEAUTIFUL crossbeds. I am so sad that this is kinda blurry. They were so beautiful!

Migrating sand dunes. If you see that they are thin at the bottom and thick at the top it shows sand fall. It is migrating to the right ---->

This is evidence for a mini landslide within dunes. The shelf got too steep so it just fell. You can tell this by the thinning on both sides not thin on one and thick on the other. This is called a sand fall.

This is evidence for a huge sand-landslide. If you see the inclusions, I guess the way I can explain it is when you see sand after it has rained and it has a crust...this was the crust part that didn't break up into sand again with the landslide and is preserved in this.
I fell down a couple of times and I have a few nice bruises. I also cut my hand pretty good, but it was awesome. These were some pretty cool rocks. I hope that you enjoy the photos.

Change in the Change in Plans

This isn't a bad thing. Endrit and I like to hang out with family. Fred and the kids will be here and Endrit and I will be cruising around with them. It will be nice. Plus, Endrit and I will probably go the 21st. So, there are new plans. It is kinda on the seat of our pants if we go. I think that it is a good 75% chance that we will go. It is the weekend after spring break. Again, anyone who wants to join, if you can, we will definitely go.

A Change of Plans

Endrit and I have been planning on going to Manti the end of the semester. We have now decided that we are heading down there not this upcoming weekend, but the weekend after that. It is spring break and we don't have the time right now to go to St. George, so we are heading out of town to one of the temples that we have wanted to go to for the 2 years that we have lived here. So, sorry if people were wanting to go with us, we changed our mind. If you still can, we would love to have you there, but we are happy that we have at least a mini-roadtrip to look forward to.

Student Vs. Student Researcher

Endrit bought Deception Point and Angels and Demons about a week ago. He keeps on telling me that I need to read Angels and Demons because he has already finished the book. I know that it is a good book. I loved The Da Vinci Code. I just don't have time to read it. Endrit goes to "work" and comes home with no homework, but alas, I skip my much missed reading to do homework. It is all good. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will read books this summer that are not text books.

I am excited to read the books that Endrit bought and I am insanely jelous that he is being able to read them before me. It will be nice when both of us have no homework at the end of the day.

I <3 Facebook

I have been on Facebook for a while now.  It is nice to be able to keep in contact with people easier.  The best part about it is that I found 2 people from my previous ward that I seriously cried to think that I wouldn't see them very often.  It has made my day, week, month!  BUT, I have to tell you how I found them...Nan put up photos of the children's corus event in Pocatello.  I saw a picture of a girl from my old ward.  The director was in my old ward and on Facebook so Nan tagged her.  I knew that if one of the ladies I was looking for was going to be friends with anyone, it would be her.  I looked through the friends of her and there was the person I was looking for!!  Once I became friends with the first lady, I found the second lady in her friends.  Now I am friends with Michelle and Sally from Princeton.  Call me crazy, but I love those women!

More Luck

So, while Endrit and I were hanging out with Fred and the kiddos this weekend we went to the IMAX.  Cooper got scared at one of the movies that we saw.  It had some big booms.  Because of that, the theater gave Fred 4 free tickets to go back to the theater.  He gave them to Endrit and I for date night movies at the planetarium.  Fred is just an awesome brother!  It was really fun to see them this weekend.

Yum...popcorn

I think it was 2 christmases ago that my parents decided to get all of the kids old time popcorn poppers.  Well, popcorn is one of my favorite snacks and this thing makes it a whole lot healthier.  It really takes hardly any popcorn kernals at all to fill this tub.  I would say 3/4 cup would do it!  So what did Endrit and I do when we got this...buy a 20 lb. bag of popcorn kernals.  We still have 4 gallon bags of kernals after we have given a couple away.  Food storage?  Sure.
