Montana Getaway

Anyone who has traveled up to Great Falls knows exactly where this is. We headed up to Montana for a long weekend, because we decided we deserved to have a break. We stayed Friday through Monday and came home Tuesday morning just in time to turn in some assignments. 

I completely forgot about St. Patrick's day and did not bring any green. Luckily we were all in the same boat so no pinching wars ensued.  We started the day with green milk and lucky charms and we finished the day with corned beef and cabbage. Classic and delicious.

Saturday we headed to town for a youth activity, shopping, ring cleaning and food.  Check out the lovely fish buffalo.

Between errands we headed to Chuck's, as is tradition, for some good eats. 

After Chuck's we ended up at Sam's Club and after some mighty good finds we stopped for some dessert.  It made me think of my mom and all of our Sam's Club treats. So good, every time.

Sunday we had two missionary farewells to go to. Zach went with the men to Lewistown for his cousin, Weston's, farewell. The ladies and I stayed in Fairfield for Tate's Sunday talk.  I can't believe how much these guys and Brock have grown since I first met them, but here we are. They will both be wonderful missionaries in Ghana and Guam.

We got to spend some time after church with Tate and the wonderful Pearson clan. That meant we got to see our favorite little Pearson who we can't get enough of. We love her parents too, which makes seeing her extra fun.

We had planned to head home Monday but when we saw the snow outside we were easily persuaded to stay another night.  It was great to stay,  relax and visit as long as possible. 

Erica made wonderful food all weekend, like she always does, including these delicious shrimp fajitas. We were so filled with good food, memories, conversations and laughs. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful in-laws who let us drop by on only a few days notice to help us calm our senioritis and re-focus. You two are truly the best. If there is any way any of you can marry into this family, do it!

Happy Tuesday everyone!
