Our trip back home

We survived our trip to Wyoming and Montana. We left on Thursday and flew into Billings, MT. Then we drove 2 hours to Sheridan, WY. We spent the night in Sheridan. On Friday we drove back 2 hours to Billings and spent the night there. Saturday was the wedding at the Billings Temple and it was beautiful. The feeling inside the temple is so breath taking. We are so happy for Alex and Carlee. The reception was back in Sheridan so we drove another 2 hours back there and spent the night. Sunday we drove 1 1/2 hrs to Gillette, WY to go to church. This is Matt's home town. Matt has wanted to take me there for 4 years and show me around. We went to Matt high school and visited his choir teacher. That was great until Levi peed down my leg. We didn't realize how full his diaper was! I was able to see Matt's house where he grew up. We spent the night in Gillette and Monday we drove 4 hours back to Billings. We spent the night in Billings and left for home on Tuesday morning. We did A LOT of driving!!

Now let me tell you this. I am born and raised here in Texas. I have been to Canada and all over the western US. I have never experienced a cold like this before. We did not see any snow until Monday morning in Gillette. It was -16 degrees with wind chill! I felt like someone was poking me with 1000 needles. On Tuesday morning it was -3 degrees. How do you function or live in that? I was so glad to get back to Texas.

Levi was able to play in the snow for the first time. He really didn't care for it too much. It was cute though. Also, Levi learned how to drink out of a straw. Yippee! We enjoyed being with Matt's family even if it was only for a short time. We loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. We love them so much and miss them already.

Are these people related? I'm not sure.
