Lightning bugs

One thing they have on the East Coast that is noticeably missing from Montana, is lightning bugs. Tonight we were watching TV with the lights off and I kept seeing a sporadic flashing yellow-green light. It looked like a flashing light from something electronic. But it was coming from a spot where there weren't any electronics. I finally got up to check it out and figured out it was a lightning bug that was stuck underneath the sticky carpet protector tape thing. It was quite intriguing, especially since the bug appeared to be dead. And I will take the tape stuff off after we move all our stuff in.

VA Adventure: Part 6 (I think)

I'm having My first bout of homesickness and we haven't even made it to Virginia yet!!!! I miss My stuff! My bed and couch and blankets and everything. Luke's aunt and uncle are beyond generous and have completely made us feel at home, but I am an introvert and home body so I am homesick. Last night we laid on the couch and had an NCIS marathon and that was therapeutic. Hopefully the other realtor will stop being a complete nincompoop and we can move in next weekend. Were about ready to throw in the towel she's been THAT bad. Sigh. Send good thoughts and prayers our way!

Milwaukee Adventures

On Thursday Luke's foot started hurting. We weren't sure what was wrong with it, but it hurt when he walked. On Friday I made him go to the Doctor. He thought luke pulled some ligaments in his foot. Were still not sure how. Luke has been putting heat on his foot which helps a little bit. Yesterday we went for a drive and made it to Osh Kosh to the outlets and made it across the parking lot before Luke's foot hurt really bad. I made him call the doctor, who made us come and pick up crutches. AWESOME! Now were mid-move and my husband is on crutches. And being stubborn about actually using them. I'll post a pic soon.

We went to the ZOO!!

We went to the zoo on Tuesday, not to be confused with a taping of the VIEW, which we did not do. We skipped the farm exhibit, And the exhibits with the animals native to Montana that we've seen in our backyards. We enjoyed watching the elephant break sticks to eat using her trunk and tusk for leverage. And the cheetah that was ready to bust through the glass and eat the little children. Then crazy looking animal is called a Bongo.

Say cheese!

We're in Wisconsin and the landscape is dotted with "cheese" signs. I think we should stop and check it out at some point. Maybe pick up a wheel! Tomorrow were headed to the Milwaukee Zoo.

VA Adventure: Part 4

Were in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes!! So far I've only seen a few, but I did take a little nap for about 100 miles. Last night we stayed in Fargo. We forgot about the time change and ended up eating at T.G.I. Fridays, and crashing. Fargo had lots of shopping opportunities, but unfortunately we didn't have time to take advantage of any. Of course, I don't know if there's room in the truck!

Random story: yesterday we ate at mcdonalds in miles city and this young man struck up a conversation with us. Turns out he was from Virginia and now living in Montana working for LDS. It struck me funny that he was from VA and moving in MT and we are from MT and moving to VA.

VA Adventure: I Heart North Dakota

North Dakota is so pretty. I was expecting a south Dakota landscape and was quite pleasantly surprised. Everything is so green. And there's tons of little, pretty lakes along the interstate. I saw this lake in the middle of nowhere with all these white bare trees growing from them with black birds perched in the branches. It was such a neat sight. I wish I could have gotten the camera out in time. Here's a few pics from the open road... There's a picture with a hill with a black and white spot- its like the worlds biggest cow or something. It was huge but far away.

VA Adventure: part 1

God is good!! This morning we had breakfast with three of My best girlfriends, two who live in Billings, and one who just happened to be there. We went to IHOP with Liz, Dana, Tree, Jon, and baby Caleb. It was so awesome to see them all before we got out of the state. The tears are pricking at My eyes just thinking about it. I love these girls!! Here are some pics...
