Vacation




Well, I just got back from vacation in Montana. Matthew and I car pooled up there, we had an absolutely marvelous time. Even the ten hour car trips had a certain element of fun... but that's what you get when you stuff Matt, Marjorie and caffeine in the same car for that long of time. Upon our arrival, Pedro and Mickey nearly mowed us over in effort to prove who had missed us the most. On Tuesday, we drove down to Hamilton and met up with Cheri, who took us flying. We went up in a little four seat Cessna and flew from Hamilton to St Ignacius and back again. The flight was smooth, hardly any turbulence, and great visibility. On Wednesday Matt went back down to the Hamilton area, and I got mom and dad, and the puppies all to myself... oh the suffering. :-) Most of what I did for the rest of the week consisted of popping into Joann's several times to see my coworkers, and sewing(mom helped me fit a dress pattern.) Not very exciting you say? I know, but I liked it. Tom and Adrienne drove down from Helena and Billings respectively to see me on Friday night. We had our annual community birthday party, watched a movie and ate pie. Unfortunately I had to send them off first thing on Saturday, since Tom's brother was getting married, and Tom was in the wedding. After I kicked them out, we all(mom, dad, Matt and I) attended Nick and Alena's wedding reception at the church. We ate cake and watched Carl's toast again (very humorous.) But as all good things must come to an end, we were forced to undertake the journey back to Oregon on Sunday morning. So now I just have to retrain myself to sleep during the day.
In other news, I am posting my most recent babysitting pictures of Titus and Raquelle, because I think they are cute... but then again, I am biased. Also my skirts are coming along, I have two done, almost three. I will admit to exaggerating a bit about the "ten skirts" part. I will only get five, but I will have two shirts plus leftovers. Oh, and I decided to name my car Tarik (nocturnal visitor), sorry Brett, he just isn't a Biff.
