It came. The break from school between spring and fall semesters. It is 7 weeks long, but it seems a lot longer. Jake stayed in Rexburg and I went home to Nampa. That's 4 1/2 hours away (and that's if you're going 85 the whole way). To get us through the break, we talked on the phone and then we discovered this wonderful invention called Skype. Actually we knew about it before and I had used it many times before to talk with my family but Jake's computer had died and he hadn't gotten a new one yet so we could only talk on the phone. To make matters worse, Jake worked for a company building potato sheds for 9-10 hours a day in the middle of no where with no cellphone service. That means that I got to talk to him at night only and by the time he got home and showered and ate something it was 10:00 and he had to go to bed around 10:30 so he could get up at 6 the next morning and do it all over again. Needless to say that job wasn't a favorite for either of us. We did talk everynight at least so that was nice and when we got skype it was even better because we could see each other and talk at the same time. He didn't know that I took all these pictures while we were talking. :)
This one is first because it is my favorite :) He makes me so happy :)
Look at that smile :) I love it :)
I must have said something really funny because he laughed for a while after this :)
I missed him a lot :(
He came to see me a couple of times and I went to see him a couple of times too. It was good but saying goodbye sucked. It was really hard for me to get back on my shuttle and come back home and him stay in Rexburg. Skype is great but it is also horrible because you get to see the other person but you can't hug them or be right there with them and that sucks. But it is better than just talking on the phone that's for sure :)
