Back in Montana

I arrived in Missoula on Wednesday after a 20 1/2 hour bus ride - Oy! The trip was loooooooooong, but uneventful and I actually arrived a few minutes early :) Nick met me at the bus with the most beautiful bouquet of red roses (14 of them!) and then drove me over to Aunt Debbie's house.

I forgot to take the picture before

hanging them to dry...

...so I ended up with Rose Bats :)

Aunt Debbie and Nick and I had lunch with Grama on Thursday at Applebee's. Grama was in a good mood and seemed to be handling things very well (see below). I had this weird spicy chicken wrap for lunch - it was good, but very messy and very spicy!

Grampa Carpenter's funeral was on Friday. I'll be posting about that later with a couple pictures.

On Saturday Aunt Debbie had a crop at the church and I got about five pages done - the last few weeks in Montana before I moved out to OR, as well as the car trip there. I also managed to get all my photos and other scrapping stuff organized, so now I just have to get them into my book! Actually, I need to get pages to put into the album that I still have to get. Oh, and I'll need stickers soon, and photo tape. And I need to buy the album Aunt Debbie has on hold for me, as well as pages (etc) for it. *Sigh* I just need to get a job and be patient until I can afford all this stuff! :(

I hope to start working for Kensington around the 1st of September. I'm calling them in the morning.
