We headed up to Montana again for just a few days in July. Again, it was stifling hot in Salt Lake, so it is always nice to go to Montana where the air is clean and the weather isn't deathly hot. Anton had his work party, which went really well. It was nice to meet some of the people I hear often about. He is surrounded by a lot of good people, and his co workers are so great.
I have never been able to learn how to do a french braid, so one morning we were just sitting around and I told Lilly that I was going to have her sit while I taught myself how to french braid. I was so proud of myself because I FINALLY figured out how to do it! This is a little messy since it was my first one, but I was so happy - but Lilly was even happier!
On Saturday, we went to the Lewis & Clark Caverns per recommendation by Anton's assistant. I was sl glad we did it! It was really cool, and the girls had a blast. It always feel good when we get out and do things as a family. That's one of the things we love about Montana...we don't have a big yard to take care of, or a huge house to clean, so our Saturdays are open to going and doing fun things instead of house chores.
Later that night, Elizabeth & Jurgen had us over for dinner to celebrate Anton's upcoming 40th birthday. I tell you what, we really lucked out with them. She made one of Anton's favorite meals and they showered him with gifts and cards...and just the fact that they insisted on having a little party for him meant the world to us. Anton was going to be up there on his actual birthday, so a few of his friends/clients/co-workers took him out for a really nice dinner and then back to the man cave to play cards. Anton said the guys gave him a really nice jacket and a pair of Jazz tickets....who does that?! So nice! So in return for the kindness, during poker, Anton won $100 off of one guy! Ha! So grateful for so many wonderful friends who treat us so well. We are lucky people!
