Going back to Gillette; May 19th

All good things must come to an end. We had to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa at about 10:30 a.m. Thank you so much for having us! And thank you for all of the wonderful gifts! Nice clothes and toys among some of them...and then a care package for the drive home. All so thoughtful. We will miss you!

We had to drive over first for a chiropractor adjustment from Dr. Kim Anderson. Dr. Justin (who was a classmate of Adam's growing up) was there also, so that was a nice visit. http://www.wellnessmontana.com/ They practice the Gonstead method of chiropractics from their study at the Palmer University in Iowa. It is simply wonderful. And all their patients enjoy all the education received from them also. Their family life is going along so much like ours. It is always good hearing the updates. We sure miss them from across the miles!

Then on our way through Bozeman we stopped at the Clerk and Recorders Office at the courthouse. http://www.gallatin.mt.gov/Public_Documents/gallatincomt_clerk/clerk I worked there four years while Adam was attending Montana State University. We became good friends and were so involved in each others lives working there. We got there over the lunch hour today, but managed to see everyone but Eric and Carrie. I really miss the laughter and good stories we all shared there. Especially the mornings when things were just getting started. It was good seeing the changes in the office. Always improving! And so nice seeing the efficiency and friendliness continuing on! We were never the typical government office and that's still evident.

We had to then drive down main street and see the rubble. Wow. http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/bozeman_gas_explosion/ Then we wanted to stop somewhere to eat before we left. Someplace we haven't been able to go to for a while...Little Caesar's and Cold Stone. Pretty tasty and pretty quick. It wasn't sushi, but maybe next time.

Matthew and Kaitlyn slept the entire way to Billings. We needed to stop and walk a little and Cabela's had just opened there, so that was fun to see. Then Matthew slept a ways outside of Gillette. It was probably about 6 p.m. and he continued sleeping through the entire night easily. He had had a great week! We all did. After getting home, we noticed his little brown Wyoming hat is noticeably faded. He really did get a lot of sun this week.
