Day#208: BYU-Idaho TimeWarp

This weekend I got the chance to go visit my good friend Lisa up at my old collage stomping grounds BYU-Idaho. I love that place and sometimes I even miss it - then I remember homework and I don't miss it as much ;) haha!


Aww, aren't we cute!

it's crazy to think that this...

...was almost 5 years ago now.

Lisa's husband is going to school there now so she's moved back up there while he's attending. Which means she's 4 hours away now, instead of the 8 or so hours away she was in Colarado. YAY! I just had to go see her before she had her new baby. She's due any time now with her second baby, a boy.

We talked and walked a ton, drove around the city and walked around campus. When I graduated in the Spring of 2011 it wasn't nearly as nice as it is now. They have finished construction on so many of the buildings including some I didn't know they were doing construction on at all! The housing around campus has exploded! Apartments cropping up and spreading out as far as you can see. The most impressive ones looking like swanky deluxe villa's, cobbled roads and balconies. I mean really nice!!! definitely too nice for me to ever afford to live in.

My sister Melisa went to school at BYUI when David A Bednar was still president of the school, and the housing she stayed in are now gone!!! Replaced with a parking lot.


All Gone! No more Beehive Manor/Viking Village.

With everything that's changed it's still the same beautiful wonderful place. I can't imagine having never gone here. It defined a lot about me and who I wanted to become. I'm a proud BYUI Grad for sure.

I wish I could have visited more people and seen more it was a short trip. Next time!
