30 before 30 list

You know when you have good intentions to start a new project, like a blog and you rock it for a bit... then... life :) Well one of my new goals is to be more consistent on here. I'm shooting for once a month!

So ya'll, I just turned 30 years old on April 10! I was going to have a big gathering for it, fire up the canyon, smores and hotdogs, laughter and giggles. haha plans.... So instead I didn't eat all day! It was great! No but really, it was great. Casey and I went for a drive up to Morgan, over through Kamas, and ended the evening with the movie "I Still Believe." I have been working on a list of 30 things to do before 30 for the past few years. And I mostly did it! I still haven't gotten my 5 pull ups, but I will darn it, I WILL! One day.

We are super happy with our hostel. The bed is extremely comfy, the bathroom is so close, everything is super accessible and it's really fun to hear so many accents around. We sometimes hear random farts coming from the others, I think it's mainly the Australian guy. Maybe.,. We got up and had some breakfast. The bread and honey was my favorite. The fruit was moms favorite, mainly pineapple. We got ready and walked to church. It's only a 10-15 minute walk. We are staying so close to where we were last weekend, it's nice to know our way around a bit. Last night when we were walking Sarah to her hostel, we passed the church and realized that her place was right by where we stayed last weekend. It was great to be able to partake of the Sacrament again because last week was district conference and we didn't have it. The meeting was great and hey had a special musical number by the primary children and it was adorable! They sang Nephis courage. We asked a couple behind u...

We woke up from a very good sleep, got ready for the day. Took a shower that consisted of hot hot water. My experience in Thailand it is either really cold or really hot. Moms been able to find a happy medium. Mom contacted Elder Barlow so that we could keep some things there while we go back to Chiang Rai. We ate breakfast( French toast with honey, fried rice, pineapple, watermelon, and eggs. Some Vegis and mom tried the boiled rice(similar to cream of wheat). We checked out of our hotel and met up with Elder Barlow. Elder Barlow helped us know to take a red truck instead of a Tuktuk to our next destination. We hopped in our taxi and went up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It was about a 30 minute drive up the mountains. Up there we hike up 306 stairs to get to Doi Suthep Wat. We saw multiple statues of Buddha and gongs, we hit a really large one, about the size of a car. The view of Chiang Mai from up on the mountain top was amazing and breathtaking. We walked down to a meditation cent...
