Reasons we like Rexburg

Contrary to popular belief, Gordon and I don't mind it here in Rexburg at this point in our lives. Rexburg and BYU-Idaho have been very good to us not to mention Heavenly Father, too. We have been looked after and taken care of and we are excited to start the new chapter in our lives to see where we go and where we end up. Until that all happens, I thought I'd post reasons we like it here. This small town takes a little getting used to, but once you're used to it, its great! Let me count the ways....

1. Gordon and I met and fell in love here! Well, technically, we met, I fell in love.........and waited a few years until (hallelujah) all the stars aligned, and he noticed me as someone more than a friend. We got engaged and then we were married. It was a dream.

2. I met some of my best friends here and we have had such great times together! Amy and Amy....love you both to pieces.

3. My sister and her family moved here! I thought I would never see the day, but it happened and now we hang out a lot! Brooke especially loves playing with her cousins!

4. BYUI- Its a great school where we've earned or will earn our Bachelors Degrees! (Woo hoo Gordon! Graduation is just around the corner!!)

5. We had Brooke at the hospital here. Precious!

6. Our apartment is cheap and the cost of living is low!

7. Of course Craigos....and Bajio, even though Bajio is a chain restaurant and you can get their food other places. Brooke even loves these restaurants too!


Anyways, thats it for now. Just thought I'd reminisce before we move far far away and I'll be missing it! Never thought I'd say that, but I think it might be true.....

Awwww! Your post made me cry! I miss Rexburg too! It is a good place. Sometimes I wish for the good ol' days, driving around in Amy's car and hanging out at Walmart.

I know just what you mean...it broke my heart to leave places like Yuma and Elko, NV because of all the wonderful connections and friends we made there, and you wouldn't think someplace in the middle of nowhere that was pretty much desert would do that so much!
