i have always thought that clouds are what made wind until just recently. i blame this misunderstanding on pictures like this:
very misleading.
today there wasn't a cloud in the sky, but it was windy. i guess it is kind of like when there are clear blue skies in the middle of winter. you look outside and think that it will be a nice day, but it turns out to be extra cold.
here's another ironic thing i noticed this week:
i lived here in rexburg for one year right after high school. the first semester i was here matt was still at home. he didn't leave for his mission until my second semester. so, we did the long distance relationship thing for that first semester. we talked on the phone every night. and since i didn't have a cell phone then (which is crazy to imagine now!) he would call the landline in our apartment. boys from our ward would often be hanging out at our apartment and thought it was funny to pick up the phone and bug matt when he would call. one boy, in particular, drove matt nuts. i would assure matt that he had nothing to worry about. but he still hated it. understandable. if the roles had of been reversed, i would have hated it too. anyways, it turns out that this boy matt once despised is all grown up - married with a kid - and is our sunday school teacher! and matt now likes the guy. who woulda thought!
our friend, jeff, called matt last night and told us we need to try eating at this hole-in-the-wall place just outside of rexburg. we decided it would be a good family night activity. so we drove out to the
thornton merc. and cafe.
unfortunately it was closed.
permanently.
sorry jeff.
but, it might be for the best. we peeked in the window and it was even more of a dive then we were expecting! our quick dinner outing turned into a 2 hour search for somewhere to get matt the burger he was craving. but, in the end, we found a cute small town diner. and a tasty burger.
the poulation of the entire state of idaho is 1.5 million.
the population of the city of calgary is 1.2 million.
today a guy asked me if i knew this girl from calgary that he knew. hey, i love playing the "do you know ____?" game. but it was annoying when he said i would probably know the girl because calgary isn't that big. you know, dude, there are big cities in canada too. it wasn't worth correcting him.
