Ditching Jackie at College :)

On Wednesday the 7th of September, Jackie, me and Mom got up nice and early (3:30 a.m.) and started the drive to BYU-Idaho! :) It was a LOOONNG drive and for some reason it seemed to take longer than the drive to Utah which is weird cuz the drive to Utah is longer...if that makes sense ;).

Instead of staying at a hotel, Saisha asked the Smiths (the people she was staying with) if if would be ok if we stayed there too. They, being the really nice people that they are) said yeah so we made our way to their house. The sunset was me being bored on the way there :)

Jackie's apartment door was open when we got there :)

Couches in the living room plus a T.V! lol

They had a pretty good size kitchen, lots of cupboard space!

Mom and Jackie. BTW Jackie is roomies with her bff Saisha :)

Saisha's bed with extra height from her bed raisers. I swear she had to jump to get onto her bed.

Desk :D

Saisha had a TON of bags full of shoes, and clothes

The one and only dresser in their room. (which means sharing ;) )

Saisha's side of the closet

Jackie's side of the closet.. lol see a difference between the two?? :D

Double bathroom! Luckily :) Two showers, two toilets

and two sinks :)

Huge stake building super close to Jackie's apartment! Notice it's two levels and there's a ton of steps leading up to it???

I think Jackie's apartment area looks like a hotel :)

Jackie's apartment are from our van...

..and the guys' apartments from our car. the dudes are SUPER close!! I've decided that i'm gonna go to BYU-Idaho too, and that this is where i'm gonna stay ;)

We spent the night at the Gooches (of course :D) Their cat Spike is a weird one ;D

Only 205 more miles!!! :D

It was super weird driving home without Jackie in the car with us. It was definitely quieter hahaha :D It was way fun though and now i can't wait to go pick her up!

Fort Stevens Part 2

While camping, we also went over to Seaside and did some fun things. Seaside was super close to Fort Stevens it was fantastic :)

Rachel in a HUGE giraffe mask ;)

Ya.. this store was weird lol it was like a tribal import
store or something like that

Cute little Lilly :)

Ya, it's that weird tribal store, they had figurines
like that all over haha, we had fun with it :)

Throughout the whole time we were in Seaside we were
finding funny sayings like that one

Funny name for a n ice cream store right?

ok we did those bike things, didn't get any pics but let me just
say it is WAY harder than it looks

Jacob all decked out haha

On the way home from camping, one of the tires blew out on the trailer, so we pulled over. Sadly, we couldn't get service on Sister Woodwards phone so we used Hannah's phone and i called my parents but then her phone died :( Luckily, an ambulance was passing so we waved them down and used one of their phones. We also had a police car there with us on the side of the road while waiting for my parents to bring a spare tire. I bet it looked a little weird to drive past a car pulled over with a police car AND an ambulance :)

I stole Adam's glasses ;P haha

Rachel and Emilee :) LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Overall it was a super amazing trip and i loved it! I'm so happy i was able to go :)
Oh BTW: POLAR BEARS ROCK! ;D

Me and my brother both went with them and we camped for 3 days in yurts in Fort Stevens over by the coast!! It was sooo much fun! :D Sorry the pictures are gonna be out of order a little bit.
