Day one complete

Today we left for Montana. It was fairly emotional, at least for us girls. Last night my family came over to my in laws to say goodbye because we were leaving too early. I tried to be tough, but it's really hard when your 8 year old sister that you love to death is begging you not to go and crying her eyes out. And when your mom, who is your best friend, is trying not to cry and can't help it. It's hard, because I want to console them with something like "well it won't be that long" or "we'll be back in a year" but I can't promise that. I cried... A LOT! and I hate crying. This morning Toria and Koury came over to say goodbye. I got most of my tears out the night before but when Toria started crying, I got a little misty.

The morning was a little hectic. There was some miscommunication about the route. We had just said go up toward the farmington area through the lower corner of CO and into Utah. Well I meant I-40 out to Gallup and up, and Randy thought through Bernalillo and Farmington. Randy was in front of us and we didn't see which direction he went but we went our path, we didn't realize they weren't in front of us until Rio Grande. We had to get off at Coors and take it all the way through Rio Rancho. After that the trip was fairly smooth. We couldn't go much faster than 65 and that was going fast. We left at 8 (out of town officially) and got to Provo at 8. It should not have taken that long. The only thing eventful was that Randy almost hit a deer, thankfully he didn't because that would have not been a fun situation. There was tons of construction, that could have contributed as well.

We are staying at the Fairfield Inn, it was the first one off the freeway and had a continental breakfast so it sounded good to us. I really want to go swimming but my suit is trapped in my trunk under our bikes and bike rack. We'll leave tomorrow bright and early in hopes that we can actually make it to Kalispell in the 10 hrs googlemaps claims and be able to get situated. I really wanted to make it in time for service and in time to call our new Landlady and get her the security deposit for our new apartment. We can't move in until the 25, but we want to make sure that she doesn't lease it out to someone else.

On a semi-related but side note, I can't wait to eat home cooked food again. The last month we have eaten SOOOOO much fast food it's sickening. I didn't want to grocery shop when I needed to be emptying my fridge. Keep us in your prayers. One more day to go!

Time to eat

Dinner in Price. This sonic has an inside

So long

Boo construction! Earlier today our gps told us to go through denver and we ignored it. maybe this is why... We're not even to Moab.

This probably occurred every 100 miles

my view

Colorado. This is what I will see, the back of the Uhaul, for the entire trip.

Lunch

playing with food again

Arby's curly fries. Johnny's dad has a history for playing with food and making them into "masterpieces" before they either fall to the ground in a mess or he eats them.

Fathers day breakfast

This isn't a pancake, its a frisbee

We ate at the Mule barn

Perfect!

My parents bag is exactly 50 lbs!

(after we took out 10 lbs of stuff and shoved it into Johnny's sisters bag)

Could you ask for more?

The first day we went and got a world famous Ghirdelli hot fudge sundae. mmm so good. They have a new peanut butter chocolate square now, they were handing out samples and they were really good. We got to see some of the process of how they churn chocolate and get it ready. This is actually a picture of a banana hot fudge sundae, Johnny and I dug into ours so fast that we didn't remember a picture and had to take one of his moms.

Golden gate

Checking out the landmark that is San Fran. Full house anyone?

We weren't supposed to drive over, but we missed the exit and had no choice. It was ok though, we still had plenty of time to make it to the airport. It was pretty cool to drive under!

Tiger Butt

We stopped in the Rainforest Cafe to meet up with some of Johnny's family and decided to have a little fun with the seats at the bar.

Fishermans Wharf

The In-n-Out at Fisherman's. Pretty cool lookin!

roller coaster

Up and up. A standard San Fran street, later we had to hike these hills so we could go to CHINATOWN!

White

This is what you do in Napa. Drink wine. Rose and chardonnay

Mom

Johnny's mom and the centerpiece at the wedding. The orange pitcher was Sangria. 

Salt Please?

Some of the food (at 125 Per person). Its good but needs salt ;-) pretty chill so far. Napa weddings certainly are pretty

miles and miles

Welcome to the vineyards of napa. It goes on forever. It's not as green as I thought, a little dusty, but still cool.

Yum

First stop... In n out

I feel fat... but oh so worth it.

CALI

We're definitely in california! I didn't know it looked like this in oakland too!

Window seat

Loading the plane. Getting ready for takeoff to oakland! I got a window seat!

Love ya Chica

Kelli's birthday. Rockin the Odouls. This is the last birthday I'll celebrate with my friend for quiet some time. 

I haven't seen white walls in 3 yrs!

we painted back our apartment last sunday and monday. It looks like such a mess but if we didn't then it would be $50 a wall... YUCK. So we just did it. This is what our apartment looks like right now. I can't wait to get up to Montana and get into  place so I can unpack and get settled.

Game with the fam

One more isotopes game before we go. Johnny's uncle works for Vantage homes and the company has a suite. It was his night for the tickets and he invited us and Johnny's mom and sister to join his family at the game. This is probably where I enjoy the games the most (of course) and it was pretty fun. I was getting kinda bored around the 7th inning and ready to go since the Isotopes were losing 3-1 but we stayed. Good thing we did, the topes turned it around and ended up winning 6-4 or something like that.
