We had such a great time on our trip to Montana. Monday morning, we went to breakfast with our parents and my brother Nick before they headed home. Jon and I stayed for a week visiting friends. I went in to work to see my co-workers. It was good to visit, but I was glad not to be working there anymore. It was a great job, but I am enjoying not having to work very much. We spent every evening with a different family. Everyone was so kind to invite us to dinner. We had dinner with the Bowdens, Lukes, Blatters, Caffreys and the Zetterquists. We stayed with the Zetterquists during our trip, because they don't have kids yet, and they had a spare room and bed. Thanks so much for letting us stay. It was great! We didn't do too much, other than a lot of visiting. We did get to go see the movie Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian with the Zetterquists, and we also went hiking Saturday morning. Jon got fried on our hike; we should have worn sunscreen. It's amazing how quickly your body gets acclamated to lower elevation. I struggled on our hike, I felt like I couldn't breathe. I'm a little weak, I used to have no problem hiking in the mountains. Ruth and Tracy invited me over for a girls luncheon. We had a great time catching up. I was sad others couldn't come, but I understand schedules get crazy. All in all, we had such a great time. It felt so normal to be in Bozeman again. It almost felt as though we hadn't really been gone for nine months. I cried when it was time to leave, I felt like we should still live in Bozeman. I didn't want to leave our friends again. Coming home to Mankato this time, I really felt like this is my home now. The longer we are here, the more I know it will feel like home. We sure miss all of our great friends in Bozeman. We look forward to seeing you next year on our trip to Utah. We loved seeing all of you and thanks for your warm welcome.
