Bear World

Bear World was having their big Easter egg hunt and we had never been so we all decided to go! I didn't really know what to expect when we drove through, I was thinking we would only see like on or two bears. As we were driving through I was right, we saw all the deer and buffalo, but once we got to the bears they were all hiding. So we just kept driving, then we look behind us and they had the tour bus full of people and the bears came running! Once we got done we decided we would do that and feed the bears. They gave us donuts and other treats to feed them. It was pretty cool! The bears came running to the truck and would just wait for you to throw the treats. There was one bear who would sit and wave at you when he wanted a treat.
While we were waiting for the hunt to start we looked around and had a little fun.

 I was excited to see all the bears!

 We got to pet a deer! It was really friendly, you could just walk right up to it.  They had a baby deer there too but he was trying to sleep.

Time Out for Women

During mom's spring break her and Haleigh came up so we could go to Time Out for Women. We got to listen to John Bytheway, I was really excited about that. I remember listening to his talks and reading his books growing up.  To get in we had to wait in a long long line, it was at IF high school so the line went down the hallways and back around. While we were waiting it was a perfect time to take pictures! We just had a hard time fitting everyone in the picture!

We had a lot of fun, and learned a lot. It's defiantly something worth doing again!

Sue the T-Rex

I love to learn new things and whats a good way? Go to the Museum! Will and I decided that we would go to the Museum every time they had a new exhibit, and our first go was about dinosaurs! I must say it was very cool. I learned a lot about them, its crazy to think they roamed the Earth and then just died off.
I thought it was fun to take pictures with the dinosaurs but Will was scared of them (not really but he acted like it :))

 His scared face.

 It looks like the Raptor is going to eat Will!

Moving Forward

Things in the Bush home haven't been real exciting lately. Will and I have just been working and living life! But this last week things started to get a little crazy. Will had applied to Melaleuca and with help from my sister got an interview at the warehouse. We both hoped and prayed that he would get the job. The night before his interview I was more nervous than he was. I had the hardest time sleeping and he slept like a baby. Right before I fell asleep, I decided I better set my alarm just to be safe. Well its a good thing I did, the next morning only my alarm went off and I woke Will up. Come to find out he had set his alarm for 7pm instead of 7am. So he leaves and drives to Idaho Falls and I'm still panicking. The interview went great and a few days later they called and offered him a position. I transferred down to the Idaho Falls call center, so tomorrow morning I start my new shift. We got an apartment and are moving in the first of February, so we are only going to have to commute for about a week. We are excited about this new change in our life and can't wait to get started!

Our First Christmas

Our first Christmas was so much fun. Will had talked me into getting him an Xbox on Black Friday (I got a killer deal on it) I told him he couldn't open it until Christmas. Of course I couldn't keep my word on that. He would ask everyday and Natalie and Jason would send me pictures of the Disneyland game we had gotten. So we opened that early but i still wrapped the box for him to open. My parents came up to spend Christmas with us. It was fun to have them over. On Christmas morning we opened presents at our house and then went to my sister Ashely's to watch the kids open their presents. And to end it all we had Christmas breakfast of course!

New Chapter!

Ok, Brother Howard I'm updating the blog just for you. Since I last updated many things have happened of course. The most exciting though is that I graduated from school on Oct. 14th. I was supposed to graduate on the 15th and I was going to pamper my parents all day, well I found out the day before I graduated that I was graduating early. So my parents weren't up here and wouldn't be able to get to Rexburg till that night. So they didn't get any pampering done but we got to hang out and party all weekend. It was a lot of fun. The next step in getting my license was taking the state tests. The written part was in Pocatello and so me and Sarah drove down took the test and we both passed!! We were so excited. Then this last weekend was the practical part. So me and Will hopped in the car and drove down to Boise. We left super early on Sunday so we could go to Ontario for church. Will was able to see some of his friends and we got to spend time with the Howards, Which is always fun. We headed back to Boise to find out hotel, From the outside it looked really nice and fancy. We both just looked at each other and thought this will be cool! We check in and go to our room, the halls are tiny and the doors are wooden, like old school wooden with mirrors everywhere. We finally find our room and I get my state board stuff ready, order pizza and we start playing games. (Will is not very good at Mad Gab and he doesn't really like the game) Then Will sat on the bed and he sunk very low.  And just our luck! The bed was broken!! So we called down to the front and someone came and looked at it and said we better stay in this room cause its one of the nicer rooms. Joy....We went and scoped out the room where I would be taking the test and the tables were super low! Even with the peg for my manikin head wasn't high enough. And being the smart person I was I did a hard work out the night before so my legs were jello and i brought a skirt to wear and not pants...It was a fun couple of hours. The test went good and after we went to the mall and shopped then met Dani at Red Robin for some lunch. It was a pretty fun weekend!!

We also got a new car. It wasn't our plan but it was a good deal and we needed another car. It's an '05 Honda Accord. Very nice had low miles and looked pretty much brand new! So its our new baby for a while.

Graduation!!

I finally graduated from Hair school!! That was the longest, hardest year, but I am glad I did it. I learned so much about not only myself but of course hair. I met some of my closest friends there. I will have many many memories of school and being with Miss Kim everyday. Ponytails aren't the same, smocks/aprons make me sick, if I smell anything raspberry vanilla I only think of the manikin conditioner.
