The Cowboy State.

I've been to a lot of states in my lifetime, but I was lucky to add another to the list last weekend! My sweet roommate, Gabi, invited me and another one of our roomies, Regan, to visit her grandparents in Wyoming! I had never been to Wyoming and, to be honest, I had no idea what was there {which I now know isn't a whole lot haha} so I was way excited to go!

Road Trip!! Road Trip!!

The drive up was so fun! We stopped in a super tiny town to visit Gabi's great-grandparents and then kept trecking it to Pinedale. There were a few really tiny towns on our way up there. It was so cute! Once we got to Pinedale it was SO COLD and snowy!

I was probably the most excited person to visit Wyoming, ever.

On Saturday, we went snowmobiling! I'm not very adventurous and I'm definitely not a thrill seeker, so snowmobiling majorly took me out of my comfort zone. I didn't go very fast at first and I never got brave enough to leave the trail, but I had fun! I was proud of myself for trying something new and daring greatly - as my mother would put it!

Even though I didn't enjoy the snowmobiling a ton, it was worth it! The views were gorgeous! We came across a beautiful waterfall. We had to go down a HUGE hill to get there and I almost peed my pants I was so scared, but I'm so happy I got down there to see it. It was so pretty. The water was warm and steaming and the rocks were covered in pillows of snow and scary huge icicles. It was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen.

Once we got to the end of the trail, we arrived at the Granite Hot Springs. We changed into our bathing suits {which was a freezing experience} and jumped into warm, slimy water. It was kind of gross, I'm not going to lie to you, but it was warm and relaxing, so I didn't even care. I never wanted to get out, but we had to eventually. We took a lovely picture in our swimsuits lying in a snow bank...again, a freezing experience, but college is for memories, right?!

That night we went to Divergent at the local movie theater, which only shows two movies at 9:00pm on Friday or Saturday - adorable! Divergent was amazing! I loved it and immediately bought the book when we got back to school. On Sunday we went to church with Gabi's grandparents. The ward was so small, but so sweet. The members were so welcoming and fun to talk to. The lessons and talks were amazing, I loved every second of the three hours. We even got to hear the full time missionaries from the area speak. They were so sweet and they made me that much more excited to go on my mission!

We left on Sunday afternoon, but before we left I caught this gorgeous view! Such a fun weekend!!
