Josh and I went to Boise the first weekend in December. We left on Saturday morning to arrive in Boise by noon to attend his nephew Teddy's baptism. We encountered just a little rough patch of snow and fog past Carey on the drive, but otherwise, the roads were good. The baptism was nice! We arrived before the baptism, just as pictures were being taken of Teddy with different family members, but we weren't asked to be in any photos, so we don't have any pictures of the actual event or any of Teddy on his special day.
That afternoon, we did some shopping and then headed to Malachi and Molly's house. It was the first time we'd been to their new house in Kuna. We visited with them and hung out with their cute boys for a couple of hours. Their kids are so adorable, and we had a good time catching up with them. On Saturday evening, we went on a date with Ryan & Heidi. We hadn't pre-planned the date; it was all very impromptu, but it ended up being our favorite experience of the weekend! We went to a Mexican Restaurant for dinner, then to go look at some Christmas lights afterwards. We walked around the Scentsy headquarters, which was decorated with lots of lights, and it was so pretty! Then we went to The Village at Meridian, and walked around a cool rock & fossil store then watched an outdoor water fountain/musical show in the center of some shoppes. We had an absolutely wonderful time with them! It had been a long time since we went on a double date with them, and we enjoyed our time together immensely. We spent the night back at Malachi and Molly's house. They were gracious enough to let us sleep in their upstairs loft, which was so generous!
On Sunday morning, we went back to Boise to go to Gideon & Alyssa's ward because it was their youngest son Charlie's baby blessing. Their Sacrament meeting was nice; there was one testimony that really resounded with me given by a young lady and her sincere testimony of our Savior. I also thought it was hilarious that after Alyssa left to go feed the baby during the meeting, Teddy got annoyed that one of his sisters was touching his Harry Potter book, so he took it from her and told her not to touch it, and she screamed out very loudly "You're the worst brother EVER!" in the middle of the meeting. I got a good chuckle out of that whole encounter! After church, we went to their house to eat some light sandwiches. It was nice to have some down time with family. We drove back to Salmon after that, and encountered rainy and snowy roads the whole way home. Thankfully, we got home right before dark. It was a really quick trip to Boise, but we were grateful that we were able to go support family, and spend quality time with both immediate and extended family!
