Who says that us adults can't have fun too. We were playing the WII High School Musical Sing It. Steve was so into it. This was not his best performance however. I just couldn't find my camera in time to get his other performance. So watch out because here comes Steve. I think he can take on Zac Efron.

What is wrong with this house?
Seriously what is wrong here? What on earth were people thinking when building this house. NO JOKE this is a home in Bozeman. You would think that there would be building codes or something. Tell me what you think...

Hard to Say Goodbye
It was so hard to say good bye to our best friends. Dr's. Kim and Justin lived across the street from us in Bozeman and we all became best friends. You could not split us up even if you wanted to. Right before we left Montana we all went out one last time. We did all that we could to hold back our tears. I would say that we did pretty darn good for that night. The tears did come out the night before we left when we talked. Our goodbye was not a goodbye, it is more like until I see you again. Kim to pregnant and due in September. I am planning on going back up when she has the baby. I miss and love you guys so much and I hope everything is going well for you. Please give Austin a huge hug and kiss from me.
Kim & Stacie (me of course)
Let me just tell you a little bit about how special Kim is. When we moved to Bozeman I was scared and of course we did not know a single person. Kim and Justin were out of town so we didn't meet them until later. When they got home from their vacation they noticed that someone was in the home across the street. So they came over to meet us. I think she could tell that I was having a hard time. She asked where we came from and a whole bunch of questions. Well Kim is from South Carolina. She told me that moving out of state is really hard and that you need a friend to help you through it. and then she said, "I want to be that friend for you." Ok that is sweet, but I did not believe her. I thought that she was just being nice and trying to find something to say. (like a lot of people do) She stuck to her word she became that friend for me, the friend that I needed.
After the first day that I met her I didn't think that I would really see much of her again. Well she came over a couple days later to see how everything was going and if we were ok. Kim and Justin both started coming over often and then started inviting us to do things. We started to become close. When Andy was traveling they would always make sure that I was ok. They took very good care of us and our friendship just kept on growing stronger. If it wasn't for Justin and Kim reaching out to us then I don't if I would have survived our move to Bozeman. Our move was very hard on all of us.
Soon after we moved to Bozeman, Andy had to start traveling. His travels had become traveling none stop. There were times when we would only see him for Saturday's and then there were times when we wouldn't see him for a couple weeks. Honestly I felt like a single mom. Well infact I was. I was a single mom who took her two young daughters and moved to a state where we didn't know anyone. That was tough and I won't do it again. However Kim was always there to help.
Andy's travel's have not stopped. Infact he is in San Antonio for the whole summer. Andy's work was very nice and had offered to send me and the kids to Texas to stay with Andy, so we can be together as a family. I jumped on that offer so fast. You didn't have to ask me twice. Even though Andy is working, it is so nice to be together in the evenings and weekends. (except father's day when he had to work all weekend and yes including father's day)
Since we were going to be gone for so long, I didn't want to pay for a house (rent) and all the utilities. So we upped and took off even though it meant saying goodbye to our best friends. I know that our friend is strong and true. I know that we will always be friends and keep in touch. I truly believe that we were asked to go to Bozeman and to meet them even though it was for a short time. We will see each other soon.

poor poor Andy
As most of you know things have been super busy for us. Andy got the final word that we were leaving. Then he had to take off to Texas for 2 weeks. During those 2 weeks I worked my butt off with packing and making sure everything was getting done. And don't forget going on field trips with Andelynn and her school class.
And came home from Texas and we only had 1 week left until we had to be out of our home. So I was pushing things. As soon as Andy got home I had a list of things he had to do. The good man that he is, he got right to the list. I guess I had too much for him however. He ended up injuring himself. I don't know if you all know or not, but Andy has a bad back. Well he hurt his back really bad this time. This put him out for the rest of the time we had to move. Infact the drive back to utah was very hard for him. He couldn't drive so we had to tow his car. But he couldn't even sit in the car without too much pain.
Luckily we have great friends, infact one of our best friends who are both Doctors. (Chiropractors) So andy went and saw Dr. Justin Anderson and going to him made a huge difference. The day after Andy got hurt he just went into the Insta Care and they couldn't do a thing for Andy. Two days after he went and saw Justin. Andy could not walk before seeing Justin and later that day andy could walk for the first time since he got hurt.

Weather in Bozeman
So I decided, only move to Bozeman if you absolutely love cold wet weather. 8 months here and I am still waiting for some sun. Come on, isn't it supposed to be spring? Well I swear it is still winter here.
So a couple days ago it was a beautiful day, it was nice outside with a blue sky. I told the girls to go out and jump on the trampoline. Five minutes later they had to come in. It got really windy and the sky was black with lightning. And then it hailed. In just that 5 minutes we had summer, spring and winter. The weather had changed so fast. And that is pretty much everyday here. You think it is a nice day and then out of nowhere it starts to rain.
So I saw a t-shirt here not too long ago. It said, "The warmest winter we ever had was a summer in Bozeman".
