Today we had our relief Society lesson on provident living. Which I thought was perfect because we just sold our beloved Bumblebee. We realized that with the dramatic wage decrease from Eugene to Rexburg we really could not afford to keep "our baby" if we wanted to save money and survive. So we are going to be walking and biking it everywhere in Rexburg. I was walking home from church today and like 5 families stopped to see if I wanted a ride. It was super nice of them but Jeez we live like 5 blocks away. It is uphill but my feet work. Lots of our neighbors have said, "well, that's too bad you don't have a car, we are sorry for you"! Don't be sorry for us. We are excited to be able to get more exercise in and rexburg really isn't that big. We can walk anywhere we want to in the town. Plus my parents sent me my bike so once we get Jacob one we can bike anywhere.

Sweet! I want a bike, but mike thinks I wouldn't use it! I would! I would love to save gas money!
Good for you guys, even though that means no long weekends visiting me! I hope you love it this summer and can survive the winter.
We may still hitch a ride to Utah every once in awhile so don't count us out on visiting. It also depends on how much money we have to ride the Salt Lake Express. we are planing on going to Lagoon and 7 peaks one weekend though.
You should get a bike Denise. I got mine at Paul's Bike Shop and it was pretty reasonable and they do your first tune up for free. I love riding the bike especially when it is nice outside.
That's going to be AWESOME for you guys!
That's so funny, the same thing happened to Lyd and I the first Sunday we walked to church in Monmouth from the dorms. We lived like 2 blocks away and people thought it was CRAZY that we were walking, no matter the distance. Good for you! I wish our family could walk to church, I'd love it!
Wow! You guys are so brave! If you do ever need a ride somewhere, don't hesitate to ask! That is nice you live so close to campus now.
I think that is great.
You really can get anywhere in rexburg walking and biking.
plus great exersize... bonus!
