R to the E to the X to the BURG

My mom drove from Helena to Dillon, MT and then I took over the wheel! I drove 70.3 miles (the distance of a half-Ironman, which my SIL Moka completed yesterday! So proud of you MOKA.)from Dillon to Humphrey, ID on the open road.
We stopped along the way at a Lewis and Clarke site called Camp Fortunate. It was cold and windy but a fun detour. 

only at a McD's in Dillon, Montana

The snow found us. 

BEAutiful Rexburg Temple!

Lucky number? Lucky Song? Espanol/Portuguese setting? Si. 

I was set on attending BYU-Provo, but after being in Rexburg, I woulnd't mind going there for a year or two! I loved the smaller numbers of people, beautiful campus, Temple, and the small town homey feeling. 

My lovely friend Jenessa showed me around campus!

The picture of Christ was made up of the whole text of the Book of Mormon- itty bitty font!

But will I return?

I'm a big kid now.

Homeland sighting!

Next up, reunited at last!

Road Trip- Leg 1- Montana

I spent spring break (March 25- April 3rd) in Utah with my family and friends. My mom and I decided to pack up and leave this town! 

What our house looked like when we left- good thing we headed south!

I love driving past this bridge

An actual happy meal box in Great Falls!

The Montana state capital building- built in the 1800's! 

We left Friday at 2:00 in the afternoon and drove to Helena, MT that night. We stayed in a lovely La Quinta Inn. 

Quite picturesque 

We woke up, ate a nice continental breaki and were on the road! I have never seen Helena in the daytime, every time we drive through there it is night. I thought it was very pretty city all nestled in the mountains, just how I like it. (this blog formatting is whack, I'll continue my story in another post.)
