We got to ride the train!!!

Okay, so we were pretty stoked on Veteran's day to test out the Front Runner.  For anyone who doesn't know, the Front Runner is a commuter train that runs from Ogden all the way to the Salt Lake Central Station, with various stops in between.  Our house is in a great location because a stop is literally down the street.  We are excited for the day that it connects to my cousins house next year, and then to Provo in 4 years.  However, by the time it reaches Provo there probably won't be any people there really.

Anyways, the whole day our favorite phrase was: we're taking the train!  Now this comes from a clip from an awesome show, The Big Bang Theory.  Here's the clip:



The reason for the trip was because Kyle wanted to check out the University of Utah, or the U.  He's hoping to go there for grad school.  So the train and light rail to the university was like a test trip, and fun date day.  It took a little longer than driving would, about an hour and twenty minutes, but being able to read and not drive is the pay off.  Plus we found out that a student fee of 50 dollars is all that he'll have to pay all semester to use it.  SA-WEET!!!

We checked out the enormous LDS institute.  Put two chapels together, add on more rooms and you might come close to it.  Then we wandered to the student union, the engineering building, and the library.  Its a big campus, and very hilly.  This definitely tired me out, but we had fun and enjoyed the restful trip on the way back by reading.

Then this weekend we also got invited over to Kyle's brother's house for a little birthday get together.  It was fun especially since we hadn't seen them in a while.  A majority of the time was the boys only wanting to play the wii...except to eat of course.

There was more stuff this weekend, but this is already long enough so I'll stop.  Thanksgiving is next week sooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Not enough excitement can be written down.
