Billings Montana!!!

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a great time while we're spending the night in the exciting town of Billings, Montana! I helped drive for a few hours today and am starting to get the hang of driving at 75mph on the freeway. We drove for about eight long, horrible hours today, but we took a few breaks along the way to stretch our legs. Our first stop was at University of Montana in Missoula and it was very beautiful. We took a walk around the campus and ate lunch right outside the music hall where someone was attempting to sing opera (I am sooooo much better than that amateur). The campus really impressed me. Then, we got out and stretched at Butte, Montana and we ate an early dinner at Matt's Drive In. It was great food and was very old fashioned. They even had an old-fashioned coke machine!!! Then, we stopped at Bozeman, Montana and I toured Montana State University which was also serene and beautiful. I was awed at both Montana universities and enjoyed their campuses much more than I enjoyed the campus of Gonzaga in Spokane, Washington. Finally, just before our bladders were about to burst, we reached Billings and after some looking and a lot of luck (A Lutheran Convention was in town so there were basically no hotel rooms avaliable in the entire city), we found our hotel and that is where I'm writing this rather dull blog from. Oh, and did I mention that it's an hour later here so while we think its about 10:15 right now, it's actually 11:15 here and while I'm writing this incredibly long run-on sentence I might as well add that I'm so excited that Germany won third place in the world cup and REALLY WANT FRANCE TO BEAT ITALY in the title game!

See ya soon.....err.... I mean see ya in a long, long, long time!

THE WONDERFUL, AMAZING, BLOND BOMBSHELL,
(Do I even have to put a name here?)
