Our Weekend With The Williams

So...last week we got our first days of snow for the year. That was exciting, but very cold. I don't really like the snow all that much...but I kind of do at the same time. So it was a Thursday and for some reason, Chase and I decided that we wanted to have date night that night instead of Friday since we would be with Chase's parents. We didn't really know what to do but we knew we were hungry so we decided to go to the grocery store and buy some ingredients to make Chase's amazing chicken and rice soup. When we were on our way back home from picking up our supplies, Chase said that he wanted to get some other food so that we could not be too starving until the soup was done. So....we got chinese. It was really random, but super fun!! We cooked and watched a movie...which ended up being the dumbest movie in the world. (It was Hannah. Don't see it. It was the biggest waste of time) We really enjoyed a nice fun evening of cuddling on the couch and watching the snow. It was great :)

Anyways...what I was really getting on here to write about was our weekend with Chase's parents. They came down for the weekend and took us up to Henry's Lake and West Yellowstone. It was such a fun weekend! We got to Henry's at about 8 PM on Friday night and went to West Yellowstone to get some food. Then we played some games and went to bed. The next morning we woke up at about 7:30 and Chase and his dad went fishing. They didn't catch anything. haha And Brett broke his fly pole on a log. When they came back to shore from fishing, we went out to breakfast. YUMMY!! We ate out for every meal and it was really interesting to try new things. It took us a while to find a good restaurant with good service though. The people in West Yellowstone need to hire better waitresses. The food was really good though. It was pretty cold on Friday night and Saturday morning since it had been snowing earlier that week, but the sun started to come out on Saturday and it was so beautiful! We toured in West Yellowstone for a while after breakfast and bought some fudge. It was really really good. On the car ride back to Henry's we stopped at the spot where the Snake River begins. It was really cool to see the clear beautiful water and BIG fish! That really made me want to go fishing so we decided to go back and rent a boat so we could go out on the lake. Chase, Brett, and I went fishing while Dianne went and toured around. It was FREEZING! Part of me wished that I had gone with Dianne, but it was really fun to watch Chase fish with his dad. And I caught some fish too!!! I caught the biggest one! It was super fun. We went out to Dinner that night in West Yellowstone and then came home to play games and cut up the fish. It turned out that my fish ended up being female...and pregnant. It made me kind of sad because I killed it. Well technically Chase killed it. They were all still alive in the sink when we got back but Chase hit their heads really hard to kill them...which was really quite disgusting. We played Farkle and Pinochle that night. We love playing games with the Williams. They are so fun to be with. The next day we went to YELLOWSTONE!!! It was the most beautiful day ever and the park was amazing! We saw Elk and Buffalo and a Bald Eagle and some ground squirrels. It was really cool. OH! And I got to see the paint pots and Old Faithful!! It was really cool and Chase and I kept talking about how it felt like we were on a honeymoon again because we were seeing new things and walking in town together and stuff. It was really really fun. I LOVED IT!! We went home that afternoon and played more games and ate some dinner and then I went straight to homework. No fun. It was the perfect weekend though. It's always great to see our family and I loved getting to see a new place and go fishing and just relax for the weekend.

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!

And that's pretty much it! I took more pictures on Brett's Iphone but they are one facebook so you will have to see them there. Can't wait for all of the other events that are coming up! I got a solo in Vocal Union!! Our concert is on the 21st and my parents are coming! I'm so excited!!! Chase started his second job this week and he thinks that he is really going to enjoy working there. I'm so proud of him. He is such a hard worker and such an amazing husband. :) We are doing well and loving life.
