In-N-Out

So the new semester has started and things are going. My classes are good and I officially start my internship on Monday so that should be a lot of fun. It was nice to make it to the weekend so I could take a deep breath and figure out what I need to get done. Friday evening we went over to the Honey Shack in the new “red light” district of Provo and played games with Savannah and Melissa. We had a lot of fun, which included calling a Chuck E. Cheese in Hawaii. We now know what the E stands for though. Becky came home smelling like Outback which was a nice treat. K-Money also stopped by and told us about the crazy people that come into the Provo Marriott.

Saturday found me doing a lot of reading and laundry. I did get to use my new drying rack that I got for my birthday. It is really nice and durable. Thanks a lot parents!


Then right before diner time Owen suggested that we go out and get something to eat. I was so grateful he made that suggestion. I still really don’t have anything to eat because when I went food shopping I thought that I had a lot more things than I really did have. So, we decided to go to “In-N-Out.” For those of you not from the west, In-N-Out is a burger place that has its origins in California. For years, all that I’ve heard about from Californians is how good In-N-Out is. Ever since it opened in Provo, it has been extremely crowded. I even wore flip flops in honor of the occasion.


Us waiting in line. It actually didn’t take that long. I guess that is why they call it In-N-Out. They really did move people in and out.


A double-double. It was really good. The fries are made from fresh potatoes at the restaurant. You can actually see the guy slicing them in the back.

Me enjoying a shake.


It was a good cultural experience. Now I know what all the Californians are raving about. Give it a try if you get a chance. I also got to see the Cougars in action at the Marriott this week. They beat UNLV at home and UTEP on the road. They are now ranked 25/23 in the nation. Props to them. Oh, Jimmer is sick. In what was first strep throat, then the flu, has now become mononucleosis. I hope he gets better soon. We’re praying for you Jimmer!
