Going Home!

So, I got to go home on Friday afternoon!!  I am soooo glad that I did, I just REALLY didn't want to come back to Rexburg, but I went anyways.  The main reason I went home is because we were moving our cows from our summer pasture to the property right around our house.  It was soooo much fun to actually get to be home with my family and do the things that I love!!

Getting the horses all ready at the beginning!

If you can't tell, It was SUPER foggy down in the valley, but we were out of it to begin with.  It looked really cool!!  

The cows were sooo ready to get out of there!!  

And...  We are off!

Russell and I ran along behind most of the way.  We would run up through the middle of the cows so that we could get in the front and stand in all of the holes in the fences or stand in places where there are no fences!  

Waiting...

Here they come!!

A huge Brahma bull.

So, I had a GREAT day yesterday!  Spending time with my family and working with cows are two of my very favorite things!  Oh, My mom and I went to town yesterday and when we were walking back into our house, I noticed this HIDEOUS spider on the wall

Yes, it really is as big as it looks!!  I HATE these spiders!  One summer, we had one that had built a web outside of our kitchen window and it lived there for several months!!  It  was pretty intense! :)  When I would be standing at the sink doing dishes at night (yes, I do dishes ;) ), I would see it catch flys and moths.  It was cool to watch it, as long as there was a barrier between us :)  Anyways, last night, I went to see my amazing cousin Lexcie!!  It was soo great to see her and to visit with all of her family!!  This morning, I got to go to Church with my family which was AWESOME!! Even though I cried, a lot because I didn't want to come back to Rexburg!!!  :)  I know, I'm pathetic!  My mom brought me over to Ontario to meet the girl who was going to bring me back to Rexburg, and I cried some more, then when We actually got to Rexburg, I called my parents to tell them that I made it and I cried some more...  You know, I just cry A LOT!!  We made it back to Rexburg from Ontario in 4 hours and 45 minutes!!  I was pretty impressed!  :)   Anyways, I am already counting down the days until I get to go home for Thanksgiving!  In case you were wondering, there are 30 :)  I can't wait to spend a little longer at home!  Then after I get back from that, there are only 20 days until I get to go home for Christmas!  So, I guess I have no choice but to stick it out...  I know I can do it, i just REALLY do not want to!!!  Have a great week everyone!!
