Yeah for the Aspers

Our first guests that came and visited our newly remodeled basement were the Aspers (I'm sorry guys for taking so long to write a post about your extremely entertaining visit). Kendall Asper was one of my companions on the Mormon mission and he just so happened to marry one of Kimmi's kindrid spirits. Those two are like BFF's now. Megan also is the freaking cool girl who got us the hook ups allowing us to buy "Wicked" tickets WAY before anyone else. Here are some highlights from their trip.

Most native Twin Falls folk would run me out of town for admitting this, but for the first time since moving to Twin Falls we went and saw the waterfalls. TALK ABOUT AWESOME! I was extremely impressed. The water level was high and just plain looked cool!


Then we went and watched people almost jump to their deaths off the bridge. Luckily they were wearing parachutes. Its actually a weird sight when you first move to twin and while driving across the bridge you see people standing on the railing getting ready to base jump. Not something your used to seeing every day. The only down fall is that when people are actually planning to jump off the bridge to commit suicide no one seams to notice. This actually happened the other day. A guy was about to jump to his death for real when one of probably many drivers that sped past finaly stopped and tried to stop the guy while her daughter called the cops. The cops actually didn't believe the daughter at first. They just kept saying "its probably just a base jumper. Did you look for a parachute?" The lady took it into her own hands and pinned the guy to the ground until cops finally came after much convincing.

You most likely cant see it, so I drew an arrow pointing out the guy jumping in this photo.

We also went to the Temple open house! Extremely gorgeous. I'm stoked that now its open we can go whenever we want and we don't have to drive more then 5 minutes!!

The guy we asked to take this photo was the first person I have probably met that doesn't know how to use a camera. Believe it or not this is the best and the least skewed of the 3 photos the guy took.

Thanks for visiting guys it was a blast!!! It was also really fun to hear that you're having a baby!! Congrats.

I think it was an "artistic" picture. He knew what he was doing! :) Um, the jumping picture is REALLY scary. Why would anyone EVER want to do that...That is crazy. Congrats on the temple there, that is great. So exciting. So you got to speak at the dedication? Any other special visitors stay in your basement? :)
