In Logan and the livin' is easy!

Hey AGGIES!

Its been a good while since I have caught you up on my crazy aggie life! I hope you all had an awesome break full of mischief, adventure, and of course good food
(Those are three things that clearly rank high in my book.)
Here are some pics from my winter break back home to show you a little insight of my life back in cold Craig, Colorado!

This is my vacation back home in a nut shell... snow and lots of snow! If anyone knows me Trigger (the dog in the left picture) and I don't get along to great but I was so happy to be home for awhile we all went snow shoeing and had a little bonding time... our relationship is still on the rocks though. Haha. The stud in the background is my little brother, Taft. He just received his acceptance letter to UTAH STATE!!!! Now I wait anxiously while he decides where he will go to school!? (fingers crossed) The picture on the bottom right is too good not to be mentioned. This is my mother when we went cross country skiing for the first time ever. Pretty good form right?? haha It was by far the funniest thing I have ever done and have now found a new hobby I can continue at Utah State.

Coming back to school came at the perfect time! I was so excited to see my roommates, friends, and even Big Blue our school mascot! Ridiculous right? It was nice to figure out my schedule the first week and then immediately get a long weekend to have some fun with my friends up at school. 

Often people head right back home to go visit family but in my case I stayed because of the distance. This can be lonely if you are left all alone, luckily I have plenty of friends that love Logan just as much as I do and made some memories with all this free time on Martin Luther King Day. 

It may be winter outside but that doesn't mean the fun has to be had inside:  
There is an outdoor ice rink that has a view of the Logan Temple that has the ability to turn any skeptic into a sap.








If your skating skills aren't up to par just yet head up the canyon and light lanterns that will float over Cache Valley. Its a site to see that's for sure.

Hopefully these things will keep ya busy till the weekend then the real adventures begin! Beaver Mountain is literally 30 minutes from campus and such a great way to practice up for those Olympics that are coming up ;) Here is a lil teaser of Chelsea J.G. and I up at Beaver for 
Martin Luther King Day!

I will be sure to post a video of our day on the slopes soon so keep a lookout!

Let me know if your long weekend topped mine, ok?
