Jessica and Steve

I'm just going to wrap this all up into one last post.

So Day 5, we took step-dad out for lunch before heading back to SH's city and said good bye for who knows how long. Made me sad. :(

Once we got back, we had to check into a hotel, because our host (BT) ended up having to leave town for work. Super sad. We only saw him the one night. Majorly sucked, especially for the boys.

The next couple days was just basically hanging out with SH and her little baby OH.

He loves his Aunt Jessica. :)

And doesn't really like his Uncle Steve.

He told me so.

I also picked up KF a couple times to hang out with us and have dinner. It was great being able to see her one on one.

On the last night we went swimming in the hotel, and some old friends came to see us. AM didn't have a swimsuit so she just went in her clothes. They ended up draining the hot tub the next morning because of that so they could put fresh water in. Haha. AD and TF also came, and we all had a lot of fun.

I miss them, but we need to keep moving forward with our life. We'll see them again if we pass through town again, or they pass our way but we won't make the mistake of moving to be near friends again. Some people think that's what we are doing with Utah, but that's not true at all. We both think it will be a good place to start a family once we've been settled in. That is, if we decide to have children of course. If we don't, it's still a great place to live!

On our drive back I drove to Billings while Steve slept. I was doing great until a stupid house got in my way! The house on the back of the semi took up a lane and a half, so I couldn't pass him. So we're going about 50 on a 75 road, and all of a sudden I see tire pieces start flying, so I back off even more hoping they figure it out. They did about 5 minutes after the fact. I've never seen a tire blow like that, I've only seen remnants on the side of the road, haha.

After that, Steve drove the rest of the way home and we were back by 7. We made good time, better than on the way there! I was just so happy to be able to sleep in my own bed!
