A town of Change...

I’ve been thinking as I walk along the streets of this little town I’ve have begun to call home, how much has changed. It seems that new shops are built daily, road work galore, and old houses being torn down and new apartments being put up. I often am sad to see the old houses, the ones with character that have been part of this little city for so long be torn down, I often have to remind myself that change is a good thing. In a manner I suppose I should think of all this like the city simply getting in shape and getting a new wardrobe to go along with all the hard work. The student population for the campus has exploded and there must be room made for them. Well enough with the chatter… here are some pictures of things I have noticed have changed in the almost 3 years since I’ve lived here and been married…

New apartments they are working on right by BYU Idaho campus!

One of the local grocery stores was extended A LOT

A little maternity store they put in...

This use to be Hogi Yogies I think they called it and then it was a little Chinese place now it's this!

The HUGE three story building they had started when Dan and I got here to school. It's beautiful inside and it's very big!

Men's housing

Woman's housing just down the road from us!

The men's housing just down the road....

New sidewalks on campus...

So this is to the right of where my BFF lived when she was here... there use to be a house or two there..

More campus side walk updating....

To the left of where my BFF lived when she was here, again I think there was a house there... The house with the green roof was where she lived.

Across the street from that same house... again two or three houses are missing!

Another view to the left of it!

And this is the same place but if you look you can see all the way to the next street over... so there is a house or two missing there too!!!!
