Weekend Updates: Alone in Ashton/Abnormal Weather!

Well, this weekend was General Conference, where the leaders of the LDS church address its members via satellite broadcast, Internet, and television from HQ down in Salt Lake City, Utah. The downside? ALL of my roommates left town. They either went home to nearby Idaho Falls or Pocatello, OR they drove down to Utah for mission reunions with fellow Latter-day Saints they served their missions with and attend a session or two for General Conference.

As for me, I went up to Ashton to hang out with my relatives. It was a boring weekend but it was good to get out of Rexburg; I haven't been out of town since my uncle's funeral last month. My aunt Stacy picked me up we drove up to St. Anthony and ate dinner at Chiz's.

Can't really tell in this picture, but the place was packed and busy. People really like Chiz's.

Other than that, I spent the weekend listening to the conference sessions and writing up some essays for my classes; finals week is just around the corner and these medium-sized essays are probably going to be the last of my homework assignments before review time.

It started getting really warm these two weeks then BAM! Mother nature throws us a curve ball and we get colder weather.

Taken from my uncle's home overlooking his back patio and yard. You can't even see the Ashton Hill in this weather!

Here are some shots from my apartment:

I had to get a sunset shot while I was at it:

A little eerie, but beautiful.

Oh, well. Winter semester is over this upcoming week and we're bound to have more permanent warm weather sooner or later. Besides, I'm probably gonna start complaining about how hot it's going to be! At least in winter time, you can bundle up to your hearts desire. Unlike summer, you can only go so far before you can't take any layers off without embarrassing yourself!
