Boise/Wedding

Wow, it is kinda pathetic that I have had my blog for three years and I am just now hitting my 100th post. Apparenently my life is not exciting enough for me to constantly be blogging. Well since this is my hundreth post I thought I should take a break from Mexico and blog about happenings here in Idaho! Yay, so much more exciting huh?!

Well last weekend was great. Ryan and I drove up to Boise to go to one of his best friends, Jonathan's, wedding. Jon and Kaylee began dating just a few weeks before Ryan and I did so we used to hang out with them and go on double dates with them while they were here at school.

On Friday when we got to Boise I met up with my good friend Kristyne and we went to Kaylee's bridal shower together. It was fun.





Then on Saturday morning Ryan and I went to the temple for the sealing. I waited outside since I'm not endowed, but we stayed after to take some pictures with them.











Then later that night we attended the reception. It was beautiful and the food was delicious!

Cactus Garden

As we traveled from Mexico City to Oaxaca we made a pit stop at a cactus garden. When we saw this on our itinerary we were not so excited about it. After the super rough, windy bus ride up a mountain we were just excited to be out of the bus. Once we finally got off the bus we immediately wished we were back with the a.c. but I actually enjoyed the tour through the cactus garden (despite how lame it might sound). Our tour guide was really funny and smart and we learned alot about cacti and their natural uses.










(That tree had some kind of magical powers. Apparently some kings ashes were spread on it and if you hugged it it was supposed to make you happy)
