Our Trip, Part II

You might just think that all we did when we were in Florida was fish. It may appear that way from my last post. Well, we did other things too. We went to River Street in Savannah, which is a really beautiful city. We also went by Paula Deen's restaurant there too. We spent time on the beach (however, we're both pretty white, and don't dare bare our whiteness there.) Good times!

Amelia Island, FL

Jed and I recently visited Amelia Island, Florida for the annual APAO (Association of Physician Assistants in Oncology) conference. I went along for the ride. Before the conference, we went up to Moncks Corner, SC for some great cat fishing. Then, we spent some time in Savannah, GA - where we met up with one of my old roommates from Ricks College - also, Jed served in Savannah on his mission. In Fernandina Beach, (the city we spent time in on Amelia Island) we did a little bit more fishing - where we each caught some great big fish (Jed caught a huge stingray and I caught a great big shark.) During Jed's conference, I spent some time on the beach, in the historic downtown, and at Fort Clinch State Park. It was a beautiful place to visit and we had a great time there!

My First Airshow

Today, Jed and I went to the Blue Thunder airshow in Idaho Falls. Wow! I've never been to something like this before. The Blue Angels were pretty amazing. They do some insane aerobatics. Here are some fun pictures from the show. Impressive, huh?!

Just Moved In!

We just had a new little friend move in with us! (Well, not really WITH us, but very NEAR us.) Our new little neighbor is of the hummingbird variety. Her nest is just outside our back door above the patio. I've been snapping pictures like crazy. I've never seen a hummingbird nest before and this one is pretty cool - it's built on a hook in the eave of the house out of spiderwebs and egg shells and other goods. I put out two feeders in the hopes that she'll spend more time here. (Hopefully I can get pictures of her eating.) Hopefully we'll see a baby soon. I'm afraid to try to look up in the nest - I don't want to disturb it, you know?

Jed and I went out on our first four-wheeling (two for Jed) adventure. We had a great time! Southeast of Twin Falls are a number of great ATV trails - which we went crazy on! I'm a bit of a wimp, but we made it around a pretty good-sized loop. There were some pretty beautiful views from up there. We have a number of maps for trails in the area, so come on over to visit and we'll take you out.

If you didn't already see them, here they are: Jed's '72 Honda 125 and my Honda Recon. What do you think!?

Pounding the Pavement

It's hard looking for a job. Jed and I have been in Twin Falls for about three weeks now and it's time I get a job. I've been out taking resumes around to all of the dentists in town. I just always feel so vulnerable when putting myself out there like that, you know? Hopefully a great opportunity will come up soon at a fun, easy-going office. I look forward to getting to work!

Fun Purse

Check out this fun purse that I made in Boise with Dani the other day! We spent the afternoon making these super-cute felted wool purses. (As you can see, I was channeling Mary Engelbriet.) Now all I can think about are the many cute little projects that I could do with my new-found skill!
