Shoshone Falls, Twin Falls, Idaho


So on our way home from our trip to Salt Lake,
I talked Nathan into stopping by the Shoshone Falls
and Dierkes Lake.  

Here is the sign as you enter Dierkes Lake : )


I took a picture of Nathan as we were standing overlooking
the lake....


Here is where they have sectioned off for 
a swimming area.  To the right (outside of the picture)
is a nice beach and an area where you can have
a picnic...


Then you drive down a little ways to the Shoshone Falls



We parked the car and decided to walk down to 
the lookouts.  Below is a picture as we were
walking down to where you can look straight
across at the Falls....


Isn't this just beautiful???


I love waterfalls!


I thought this was really neat how there
was a rainbow in the water...


This is the other side of the river (the falls are on the
left, outside of the picture)



Look at the mountains behind the falls, and how the river
just flows over all of those rocks.



They say that Shoshone Falls is known as
the Little Niagara Falls of the West, 
although it is 50 feet higher than the Niagara
Falls in New York.  I thought that was an
interesting fact.


And one last picture of the area as we are getting
in the car to continue our drive home.

Impossible!!!

1 Peter 1: 7-9 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see  him  not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith,  even  the salvation of  your  souls. What is your impossible situation?  What is your I need a miracle situation?  I heard these lines in a song recently and it got me to thinking about how sometimes situations in our lives seem so impossible and out of control.  We just don't know what to do about it or what to think about that situation. I read the above scripture in 1 Peter last week and it got me to thinking about how gold is refined by going through fire, diamonds are mined from deep within the earth.  We wouldn't have the beautiful jewelry and precious me...

New blog

This was a challenge trying to get this blog set up, but I wanted to start a blog about my long-distance dating journey.  My boyfriend lives about six hours from where I live so it has been an interesting challenge trying to figure out the logistics of when we can see each other since our work schedules are completely opposite.  We met about eight years ago when he lived in the same town that I live in.  We attended the same church at the time and that is how we met.  After dating on and off for a few years he accepted a position in a new store that was opening with his company and decided to move away.  We remained friends and talked on the phone occasionally but decided that dating just wasn't going to work at that time.  After a few years, we decided to try the dating thing again and now it has been about three months and we see each other about every two weeks or so and talk on the phone to each other just about every night.  Well that is enough hi...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...
