Windows get frozen OPEN only in Rexburg...

thanksgiving is over now. when did that happen? i am grateful that the semester is almost over though. the weekend before last my roommate and I drove down to utah to begin our holiday break. i hung out with her saturday and flew home sunday morning (i love flying...it's so quick) i spent the week with my family which was nice because it's a rare thing when we are all able to get together for a holiday. there was a little bit of mayhem...but that can only be expected when there are tons of little kids and more than a few strong personalities. but fun none the less. my brother is leaving for irag (again) so i think we were all happy to be able to spend a little bit more time with him before he leaves. we got to celebrate the big 30 with him too and had thanksgiving dinner at their house.
