today in pictures

So here's a couple pictures from our day today.

They are refinishing the floor in our gym at school...

 It looks good but smells terrible so I was only at the office for about half a day until they closed the building.

Mikel and I also went for a drive out of town tonight. We saw deer, antelope, and lots of cows and baby cows... I love the baby cows!

So pretty.

things were going so well...

Then we got busy apparently and the blog has been slacking. Whoops...

We are all settled in to our new home and are getting to know our way around town. This weekend we went to Pocatello for a wedding. Besides it being FREEZING and outside, we had a really good time. We got to see old friends and celebrate a wonderful wedding.

This was the wedding...

 Josh and Andrea...

 Ahhhh...

 This was the inside of the house/lodge where the wedding was. Yes, that's me on the right hovering around the fireplace.

It was great to see Katie and Mike get married as well as getting to see Josh and Anthony (a friend from ISU). We love an excuse to visit Pocatello!

one good, one bad/creepy

Every new place has some good things and some bad things about it so here's our initial evaluation of Dillon....

Wells Fargo=good thing

I have used Wells Fargo ever since I moved to Pocatello and love it. When we moved to Michigan they didn't have Wells Fargo but, thanks to the internet, we were able to still use it for the most part. It became annoying when someone would have to write us a check for something and we had no way to deposit it but we made it happen (we're fighters like that). Now, we're in Dillon and Wells Fargo is the only big chain bank that's here and I feel like it's a little gift for putting up with Michigan.

Now for the bad/creepy...

Weird, creepy meth stuff painted on the side of run down buildings=creepy thing

In case you can't see, the sign on the left says "these ruby slippers won't get you home after a hit like this" and the other says "meth will get you my pretty..." Creepy, right?! Now, most of Dillon is really nice and this is definitely out of place but Mikel and I have been hoping to hit a red light on the street in front of these buildings since we've got here so we could share... weird.

the new place

So we finally took some pictures of the inside.

This is the kitchen...

 The flowers were given to me by a couple players. We played a little game where they drove around town asking questions and trying to find our house. I may have answered a couple questions wrong (I'm new here!) but it was good to see them!

 Living room. Obviously a couple boxes still need to be upacked and we have to figure out what to do with the stupid brick that sticks out into the middle of the room....

 Bathroom...

 Guest room....

 Office...

 Our bedroom. All the rooms have these big closets...

 Coat closet...

 The other end of the hall with all three bedrooms (one straight ahead and two to the right) and the bathroom on the left...

It's nice to have our own space and a little garage!

our new house

We're getting settled in to the new place and are glad to finally be in a house again! No midnight basketball or P90X on our ceiling at absurd hours.

This is the outside...

 It's not a huge yard but there are horseshoe pits in the back!

 We'll finally get some good pictures of the inside once we get the last few boxes put away.

There's still no tv yet at our place so we went to a local bar in town to watch the basketball game last night. It has a bunch of cool mounts and is run by one of the big boosters in town. It's a pretty cool place...

 EVERYTHING in Montana seems to have at least a couple slot machines in it too...

Inside pictures coming soon!
