ROAD TRIP!!

So we had heard that our friend Brady (the guy who lived with Justin and I for almost a year) (yeah there are alot of bad things that happened then but also good things). Well he told us that he was getting married. =O WOW BIG SHOCKER!! The biggest news was that he was marrying a LDS chick!! WoW!!! Okay did I hear him right?? Well Justin was in the line so we had to go, well we were gonna go anyway. Well he tells us that he is getting married in Idaho just outside of Idaho Falls, so we are like perfect we can go get some stuff from storage and bring it back. Well it just seemed like everything is falling into place and that this was supposed to happen because we heard that Mark was in Powell (45- 1 hr) away from where J's paren'ts lived. He comes over one night and we watch a movie and J tells Mark what is happening and seeing if we could stay with him in Starvalley for the weekend. He says sure, he also agrees to bring some stuff back as well. So road trip to StarValley (where we used to live before we moved in w/ his parents), not exactly the kind of road trip I was wanting but hey it got me out of the house for the weekend and it would be fun.
We leave friday and it usually only takes about 6-7 hrs but it took us 9 hrs. There were spots in the pass (mts area) that the roads were covered in snow and we didn't have snow tires so we had to drive slow, but that was only about 30 - 45 min. Well we get to an area where we had to wait and there was a TON of cars infront of us and behind us. We had come to a complete stop for about 10-15 min, we didn't know what was going on all we could see was 4-5 park rangers w/ their lights on. So we thought hmm, maybe there is a wreck or something. Well we could see that cars were coming from the other side and so we thought well maybe they'll have us go around whatever is there. Did they?? NO!! We were there for about an hour and when we did start moving they just turned their lights off and there was no wreck nothing!! We were like what the heck!! You could have had us go the other side of the road and not had this. Well we finally get to Mark and Jillaynes house around 9sh.
Well monday came around and so that meant we had to get up around 6sh to start getting ready for the wedding. Because we had to go to the place around 10 to practice. The roads on the mountians to Idaho Falls were snowy and it was snowing, but we made it way earlier then we had thought so it was good, we found the place and it was a really cute place.
I didn't want to leave because it felt so good there, but oh wow it was cold the whole time. So I was glad that we did, it snowed so much there. They said that last month you couldn't even see our car that they have had for 2 1/2 years (it doesn't run). We were gonna get it this trip but Mark had told us that he'd need a tractor to get it out of the snow. (I'll put pictures up after). Well we took a pic of the car on Sunday and then a pic of it before we left and there is a difference. Sunday night as soon as we got to his aunts and uncles place it started snowing. It snowed till we left and was still snowing lol.
Well it was a great weekend!! I'm glad we were able to make it and to actually be able to go. There were some places that I had wanted to go but couldn't because they weren't open because we were always out so late. But when we go get our stuff I'm soo going to make sure J knows we are going there haha.

This is the pic of our car we took on Sunday. (the before)



This is Tuesday morning/afternoon. I think it was around 11sh when I took this pic.


This is Brady and J.

Well we are planning another road trip there and to Arizona... who knows when Arizona will come... Starvalley next month or two.
