Rexburg? Really? Are you SURE?

Yesterday I had one of those moments where I just wanted to kick myself. My good friend from Texas, Olivia, is getting married! Her bridal shower was yesterday and it was at her aunts house. I was so excited, got all ready and headed on to the address Olivia gave me. I don't know my way around Rigby very well so I had her give me specific directions. I found the broulims and Maverick located on Main st. that I was suppossed to be near but the street to turn on didn't exist. I called Dan, who used to live in Rigby, and he tried to help me but he had never heard of that street and couldn't find it online anywhere. I drove in circles for an entire HOUR trying to find a house on a street that was nowhere in the whole city. I talked to Olivia's aunt and she told me to go to the Maverick and she would come meet me there. I went to the Maverick right as Dan called me back. Turns out that road ISN'T in Rigby... it's in REXBURG. I WAS IN THE WRONG CITY. wow, how embarrassing. I guess we never really talked about what city it was in. I knew she had family in Rigby so I guess I just assumed. She lives in Rexburg, so she rightfully assumed I knew it was in Rexburg. The weirdest part is that there is a broulims and a maverick on main street in BOTH places. Well the story ends with me missing the entire bridal shower and having to just head back home. How stupid do I seem now?!

did I ever tell you I did that exact same thing when I first moved to utah? Drove all around American Fork when I was supposed to be in Highland or something. Either we made simple, honest and easy mistakes or we are both stupid . . . and I am going with the former explaination. Love you and Merry Christmas!
