Adios, Iceberg!!

It's official. I am no longer a resident of that very cold and windy place in Idaho. On Friday, Dave and I both graduated and on Saturday we left town. Pictures of the happy graduates to soon follow. It was great to have the help of my mom, sister and Dave's brother and his wife..we couldn't have gotten everything done without their help. Thanks guys!! We are now at my sister's house after the longest day of driving EVER. I thought we would never get here. Driving over mountain passes in Winter in the middle of the night with bad windshield wipers- not the greatest thing to do, in case you might be wondering if you should do that. Of course, before that I had been a little sleepy and that kept me wide awake for the rest of the trip. I am going back to Rexburg in a few weeks for the temple open house, but right now I can't think about that drive- I need to block out the one from yesterday first. To my great Idaho friends- I love you and will miss you!! It's strangely warm to me in Western Washington and I am liking that right now!

TAGGED!!

I have been tagged as it is called and tagged by Laura. Here are the RULES. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment letting them know that they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog for game rules/details.

Here are mine:

1. I am a certified SCUBA Diver. Dave and I took a class a year ago and it was terrifying for me...but I did it! We haven't been diving since then, but I look forward to someday SCUBA Diving in beautiful clear water in Hawaii.

2. I hate doing laundry. It is my least favorite domestic duty. I don't mind so much throwing it in the washing maching and dryer. It's the folding and putting away that I detest so much. Usually by the time I am done, the hampers are full of dirty clothes again. It is a nasty cycle that never ends.

3. I love Taco Time!! They have the best ice in town, the little tiny kind that is so awesome. I am a regular customer in their drive thru, so much so that the owner who usually works the drive through, knows me by name. :) Sad, but true. He is disappointed that his best customer is moving soon but he has been kind enough to give us lots of great boxes.

4. I have never been snow or water skiing. I know, I know. I grew up in the Northwest with mountains and lakes everywhere. I don't even have a desire to to either type of skiing- and as long as I never do I will have something to say when I am tagged!

5. I am somewhat of a clean freak, though you wouldn't know it from looking at my house right now.(We are moving next week, I have a good excuse!)I love to organize things in my home and I will be forever grateful to Rubbermaid for inventing wonderful storage containers. Valerie- I am coming to your house soon, are you ready for me and my organizing ways??

6. This Summer my husband bought a motorcycle and I was okay with it. I had so many wives tell me they would never let their husband get a bike and they were shocked that I let Dave get one. He's a grown man who works hard (most of the time), so who I am to tell him what he can or can't do? Of course, the thing was a money pit and we no longer have it but he enjoyed his mid-life crisis toy while he had it. :)
