Wherever You May Be...

So it has taken us a while to come to terms with the fact that we have lost a member of the Cave Dwellers...one who has become close to us all, one who sleeps ridiculous amounts of time away, one who loves shopping above all else, one who may be the only mexican that doesnt actually know a word of spanish, but most importantly one who's presence is deeply missed inside the cave:(

Janelle Ann Garcia has returned to the great state of Idaho, which even though its much cooler than Utah, doesn't need her like the cave does! How long can she really resist the magnetic pull of her greatest friends??!!We're all hoping just until the end of July...

How can we NOT be depressed losing a soul like this!

For a quick update on Janelle, she is gainfully employed at 3-D Video, the sole video store of Kamiah if you minus the weak selection our local grocery store provides. 3D for life! So if you have any movie dilemmas let Janelle be your guide!

Text her anytime and I'm going to guarantee you that you will receive a response anytime under 90 seconds...yes she is just that efficient. On another note, she is becoming a little bit bored which we were all very excited to hear. The first step in the Cave Dweller Recovery Program. We are confident that after a few more phases she will be ready to return with a fresh mind and spirit:)

Janelle, if you're out there, know that we miss you so much and just want us to be reunited again...cuz it feels so good. LOVE YOU!!!!

A Day In The Life of a Street Sweeper...

Kendall Kayci Rupp was born September 5th, 1990 in Meridian, Idaho. In fact the birth took place in the house that many of us remember so well from our youth...She has 5 olders siblings and 4 younger, 7 of which are girls. And we thought the cave was overflowing with estrogen! Maybe that's why Kendall loves hanging out with us so much:) I mean besides the fact that we're the coolest people she knows of course.

If we fast forward a short 18 years to her graduation from Homedale High School,

which she loved and tends to reminise about often (similar to Uncle Rico),

we catch up to her move to Utah. Kendall was never too thrilled on the idea but what sold her was knowing that her favorite human Jasmine and her semi decent friend Janelle would be down there too! Or maybe because her parents really wanted her, the details are irrelevant. As she trudged through BYU for two semesters the job hunt for something more fulfilling than making salads began. Little did she know that her previous farm experience would not only lead her to her destiny but she would excel in this program, quickly gaining management responsibilites. She is now...drumroll please....a STREET SWEEPER!!

She drives a...well....mini zamboni-ish thing that fits along the sidewalks where she cleans them off for all to enjoy. The catch to this is that the machine is rear wheel drive. Her boss once commented that she was the best driver he had ever seen and especially so soon! Only a few weeks into her job she then was able to take charge of some other workers and help them to become all they could be...similar to the army. Because of this we at the V-Spot are so very proud to call her our family:)

One can walk through the mean, mostly odd streets of BYU and wave at the very friendly street sweeper, happy to be making the world a better place, one sidewalk at a time.

On a very real note, Kendall you're amazing and we love being able to spend all this time with you:)

There Is Still Hope...

Residing in the cave has made some of us a little weary of physical activity that doesn't include slipping Prison Break DVDs in the xbox. That is until we discovered the classy yet modern trampoline. You see the tramp has been out of commision since early september when the rain and snow started overflowing the convenient little pit that is placed underneath. After the rains were cleared away and the lake underneath was slightly diminished we thought we would get back up on the horse slash tramponline....and yes we may walk away with water soaking our clothes and dirt in our hair but it is our best exercise! For those fellow couch potatoes, give the trampoline another look and become believers! It worked for us and we believe it can work for you!

First Things First...

We feel it fitting that our first post be a dedication, if you will, to Mike and Rhonda Vanchiere, the owners of the V-Spot. Without them none of this would be possible. They have let us turn their basement into what is now known as The Cave. And yes they have worried and fretted over broken light bulbs, large amounts of food being devoured in minutes, sweet dance moves going awry, and the high levels of estrogen that have caused fights, fun, and as always a large amount of tears. Yet through it all they have not once wavered...slash kicked us out. They still feed us well(shoutout to Rhonda!), giggle with us at prayer(that one's for you Mike), and do an incredible amount of laundry! We know we are crazy and exhausting but without our Aunt Rhonda and Uncle Mike, life in the V-Spot would not only cease existence(cuz they own it remember), it would not be half as much fun as it is:) Thanks so so much and we love and appreciate you both!!
