What Rexburg needs?

I've been thinkin lately that we southeast idahoans have it pretty good. Rexburg is a peaceful community, good schools, some good food, and entertainment only thirty miles down the road. Life is good here.

Having spent time outside the bubble, I realize that we are short on some things. For instance, I would love to have a real steak, like the ones I had in Nebraska. Corn fed and amazing. If you haven't had one, then you go ahead and continue eating and enjoying your gritty beef, you'll be none the wiser.

Anyways, what does Rexburg need? If you came "home" from your far and distant lands what would you bring with you?

Eternal locals; you are also welcome to comment on what you want to have here.

Feedback?

Tryin to have some cool stuff on here, so you'll enjoy your visits. What do you like? What don't you like? Any suggestions on other stuff?

Katrina Ormson update

General Update on my oh so exciting life:

After high school I went straight to Ricks College, studied in Mexico, and graduated BYU-I in Dec 01 with my associates in Gen Business. I then transferred to BYU (the Provo one). I took a study abroad to Italy and studied art there--which was way awesome! I graduated with my BA in Marketing and Advertising Communications with a minor in Business in 2004. In August '04 I married Jon Ormson after 2 months of dating, 2 months of engagement, and 4 years of friendship. We lived in Provo until he got his associates, and then we moved to Lubbock, Tx so he could attend Texas Tech University (go Raiders!) Our first kiddo-Sevryn Kelly- was born March '06 and thankfully I quit working for an optomotrist to be a stay-at-homer. Jon just graduated from Tech in May 2008 and we moved to Houston for dental school. We are in our 2nd semester and have already gone through hurricane Ike. Our second kiddo-Kristian Teik-was born this June and I officially have my hands full. I spend my days wrangling up the kiddos, and I also work at LA Fitness teaching Spin(biking), Bodyworks (lifting), and Water Aerobics. My job keeps me sane, and my kids keep me happy/busy/frustrated/crazy.

We will be here in Houston for the next 4 years at least--anyone ever in town is more than welcome to stay with us! So far we like it (minus that danged hurricane which we did evacuate for). We enjoy having Galveston--a beach!--only an hour away, and we actually own a house here so it's fun to feel a little bit like a grown up! I'm also getting used to wearing shorts basically all year long, but miss the snow.

What does the future hold for us? Probably a few more hurricanes, a few more kids, a lot more debt, and a lot of funny stories to tell.

582 visits and $30.41

January was the third highest number of visits for the blog in a month, Yipee! I am excited, don't get me wrong, I just wish we could find our missing members. I think we could easily double the number of monthly visits, thus doubling the amount generated for the 10 year. Eh, it's no big deal, but if you see people from our class, be sure to tell them about the blog and the forum.

The $30.41 is for January only. Since I put google ads on here they have generated around $40. Slow but sure, still averaging around one dollar a day, which is good.

sorry for the delay kids.

Life has a way of sneaking up on us that can be unpleasant. Nothing bad has happened the past two weeks, but tons of good things have, and those good things have taken a lot of time. Sorry for the shortage of new posts, but look for your regular programming to return soon. Also, not sure about the podcast, but you will obviously be the first ones to know if I start one up.
