dan's house!

okay so dan, one of joey's room mates was really set on taking us up to his house and having his mom cook for us. so last saturday that's what we did! it was so much fun. he lives an hour away in island park (which we thought forever was island park.. woops). group = dan, tyler (nother of joey's roommate), chelsea, erin, melissa and me.
um. number one dan has a really nice house. he looks like this tough hick but he's just a fun goofy kid underneath. and we thought he'd live on a farm. no they live in a freaking nice log cabin. it was gorgeous.
well we got there and had time to spare until dinner, so what do we do? drive to montana of course!! ha. we went to west yellowstone, this little tourist town. i didnt even know we were leaving idaho until we're driving and tyler shakes his hand in the air and says "montana!.. woo!"
we get to this town and everything's pretty much shut down cause its not tourist season. we were going to see an imax movie but what dan wanted to see wasn't playing so instead we go to a bear and wolf park? what?! like real bears and wolves?
yes.
it was this little mini museum and then outside there were real bears and wolves. it was actually quite neat. it made me want to snuggle up to one of the bears and made me want a pet wolf. and we stayed long enough to see the wolves fed and the bears switched out (they rotate them so they don't get bored with their environment).
so we got to see 2 bears, then 4 more came out to scavange for food. and we got to see a 3 second bear duel! it was legit
and we saw 4 wolves. and we got to see them naw on some bones. they are so pretty.. maybe santa will get me one for christmas i mean i have been specially good.. just maybe..

after that little adventure we went back to dan's and his mom made this awesome home cooked meal. i guess she usually serves it in a pumpkin but it had ground beef, rice, vegetables, and water chestnuts. then this good marshmallow fruit thing and home made bread! ah man was it good. so did not want to go back to galley food/my mediocre college cooking.
and then we just played phase 10 for the rest of the time.
but it was really fun.
over all i give it a 10, 5 stars, 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.. um and a smiley face sticker?
(oh ps. dan does the best brian regan impression, like he actually sounds like him. and i guess i was the only one who knew who brian regan was cause i was the only one that laughed.)

stake conference was this weekend and to everyone's shock the topic was temples and what? marriage? oh no.. we never speak of marriage at byu-idaho. hah.
ery thang else is good. i can't believe thanksgiving is coming up so soon. i half dont like it, cause i like it here. but it will be good to see everyone again.
and yes mom i'm trying to enjoy every minute of it.
in closing i look good in red.
