Oh HaPPy DaY!!!

 She's home! Pictures explain it best so I'll let them do the talkin'. (thanks Shae for the pics) 

She's got the "missionary glow."

Candy Gram Keith and I came up with for her, the sisters/mom and dad helped me buy all the candy.

Kalispell sure is rainy.....

Montana.....

Fell asleep 30 minutes into the trip with rice cake in hand

I was so happy to see this sign because I thought that meant we were close to our destination, I was fooled.

 

Yesterday was finally warm enough to swim! No rain! We also went to a gorgeous lake yesterday for lunch but I forgot to bring my camera! Oh well we'll just have to go again.


In other exciting non-Montana related news.... I fly home in a week for Misti's homecoming!! I can't believe it's been 18 months already! Well yes I can it hasn't gone by as fast for me as it has for everyone else! I'm so excited to see her and have her meet Carson for the first time!

My Babe's Birthday

Saturday was my babe's birthday! I had everything planned out for the whole day like a month before but.....you guessed it--Keith's work transferred us to Kalispell, Montana last Tuesday. So no biggie right, I mean Kalispell is like the Gateway to Glacier National Park which Keith and I have never been to before. Glacier is up there with Yellowstone in Keith's book, which means it's on his bucket list of places he wants to go. He loves anything to do with the outdoors, so naturally I just planned to go there all day and then out to eat. Well, I didn't consider that Kalispell just might want to rain all day Saturday...nOOOOOOOOOO!!! Please any day but Saturday (acutally it rained all week so it wasn't too surprising). So, Saturday rolls around and we take it slow, we sleep in and take our time getting ready, then we headed to Famous Daves BBQ for Keith's b-day dinner. Side note: sign up for all the free b-day dinners/breakfasts if it's your b-day, it's seriously awesome! We got his meal free! Some that I know of are; Ihop, Famous Daves, Sizzler, Denny's, Baskin Robbins, Cold Stone, Red Robin, & Krispy Kreme. I know there's more too!



Waiting for our food



Afterwards we headed over to a local sporting goods store, it was pretty sweet they had a play area for kids that Carson sure enjoyed!

They also had a sweet courtyard with tents and canoes all set up, a trout pond and waterfall!

Lookin' at the fishies

A really long canoe...I think?

Then we headed back to the hotel for cake and ice cream. Keith said he didn't care what kind of cake/ice cream so I got everything chocolate....naturally. I even found Turkey Hill ice cream, one of Keith's fav's that's hard to find out West, guess it's mostly an East Coast sorta thing.

I decorated the hotel room for him that morning.

Then we ended the evening right by hot tubbing and watching storage wars! yah!  I didn't get a pic of his present because well I don't know why, anyway....I got him a Ka-Bar knife that he's been wanting for awhile. He says he's done buying knives after this one. We'll see...haha. Happy Birthday Babes.
