The last leg of my journey was dedicated to Montana. Montana AND another Merrill Wedding. It was such a fun week, I got a new car, I spent time with even more amazing family, got to dance the night away in an amazing restored barn reception, and catch up with good friends and their kids. As much as I despise Billings, it really was an enjoyable trip "home".
Here we are all packed in the Lexus ready for the trip.
(some people just aren't cut out for life on the road)
(p.s. if she sees this, I will be as good as dead)
Exhausted Grandma at our stop in Big Timber.
Met my dad after lunch where I jumped ship and road back to Billings
with him while the rest of the gang went forth to the ranch.
Got a visit from Sara and Lily at the hotel!!
She looks just like Bryce! It was so great to see Sara

I couldn't help myself but they were so tuckered out after the wedding
they needed to put their feet up. This picture was too funny to
pass up. Grace would have done the same thing, Grandma!
Back to Billings to hang out with this crazy guy.
Why he can't take a normal picture is beyond me!!

So healthy and calorie free.

helped him remove it.

Montana was great. I am not planning on going back any time soon though! One week is enough for me for awhile. People can come visit ME for a change! Plus...it's going into winter. And winter means cold. And cold means snow. And snow means NO THANK YOU!
So happy for Kallie and her new husband Brad. SO glad I was able to spend time with family! It was truly a great week in Montana <3
