General Conference

Well, we had a pretty uneventful but a good week!  We mostly just went to school and Scott worked.  On Thursday we were able to go to the temple which was so nice!  We hadn't been in a while and I nearly forgot everything about it!  On Friday, a couple from our ward invited us over for dinner and games.  We had fun visiting and playing with their many pets.  They had a dog, bird, and guinea pig, and I was surprised to hear that Scott didn't mind the dog being inside the whole time!  Saturday while Scott was at work, I watched general conference which really pumped me up, and i went to town on our apartment!  I cleaned for about 5 hours and now it looks great!  Scott was really pumped to see a clean place when he got home too. Sunday was a nice relaxed General Conference Sunday!  Scott and I always like to relax together, and it was especially nice to be able to listen to the word of God at the same time!  I read a really great blog the other day, and thought I would share!  It's called "In the Head of Al Fox" (The Tattooed Mormon)  It's about this girl and the trials she has gone through.  Anyways, very inspirational and fun to read!  We miss you all and can't wait to see you again!
Love, The Jones'

Easter Weekend

Scott and I made it up to Idaho Friday night after Scott got off work.  We stayed up watching movies and playing Nazi Zombies with Curtis, Kollin, Dave, and Kylee.  (I got pretty good at that game).  The next day Scott and I went to Idaho Falls to return some wedding gifts.  We got rid of all but one and made some sweet moo-la! Later Saturday, we set up a net and played bad-mitten until the girls headed off to Snake River's DYW program.  The girls all did so great and ended up with Malia Saupan as the winner, Scout Baldwin as 1st alternate, and Raegan Martin as 2nd alternate!  Such cute girls in Curtis's grade!  While we were out at Snake River, Scott had some good bonding time with Kollin.  They went to Blackfoot High School and played tennis and then went to Rupe's for ice cream!  What studs! Easter Sunday was so much fun!  We went to my grandparent's ward for their farewell.  They are serving their third mission in Fresno, California and left Sunday night for the MTC.  We then headed back to my house for a little dinner with the family, and then left for Scott's house.  We had fun with Scott's parents and several of his sister's families there.  We had a second dinner and an Easter egg hunt and Scott creamed his brother-in-laws in a dunking contest.  He was throwin' it down hard, and has the bruises to show for it. After the Easter egg hunt we showed up at my Aunt Kerry's just in time to watch everybody leave and to have a third dinner.  We ended the night playing card games with my family, and then proceeded to drive home.  It was so nice to see our family!  It had been a long time since I had seen them last and was really starting to get homesick!  I'm already looking forward to going home again! If only it weren't so far, we might be able to go more! Oh well! That's life as a newlywed I suppose!  Love you all!
