So for some reason one of us thought that riding the student bus up to Missoula Montana for a Weber state football game would be a fun idea.
WELL, this trip was one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken together, keep in mind that most memorable does not necessarily mean it was a good trip.
The bus ride up was pretty tame except that the bus creamed a deer in the middle of no-where Montana and we didn't get to the hotel until 1 a.m. When we arrived at the hotel we were informed that Alisha and I would be in separate rooms. Alisha's room-mates kept her up until 6:30 NOT FUN!!
So game day comes and all us WSU fans are very excited,
after all, WSU hasn't been this far in the playoffs in FOREVER, and they were playing against a team that they had destroyed earlier in the year.
But keep in mind, this time the game is in Montana, in early December, and in front of 30,000 screaming Montana fans.
And did I mention it was cold?
Well this time around the game didn't go so well for WSU, or its fans.
We had crap thrown at us the entire game, called pretty much every name in the book, and were convinced that "the bird" is the state symbol. Oh yeah and WSU lost the game.
Well game over and back on the bus, we get on down the road and decide to stop in Deer Lodge
Montana for food and to gas up the bus which is all well
and good except for the fact that the good ol' school bus wouldn't start back up again.
So long story short, a bus full of WSU students including
US are stranded in the middle of no-where Deer Lodge Montana for 8 1/2 hrs.
Oh yeah fun times!!! and we really needed to get home a.s.a.p for a baby blessing the next day.
Thankfully, Alisha's brother Mike felt sorry for us and decided to come up to Deer Lodge Montana and rescue us. Otherwise we wouldn't have been able to make it to the baby blessing. As it was we didn't even get home until 7:45 a.m. Sunday morning, while those that had to wait on the student bus didn't get home until after 10 a.m.
So like I said, a very memorable trip but not really in a
good way.
Also, there is no way on earth I will
EVER be able to
talk Alisha into going on another bus trip as long
as I live.
But at least we can both just look back and laugh about it now.
Alisha is such a good sport to put up with me and my crazy ideas and adventures.
Christmas is kinda a big deal at our house, and we do like to decorate our little house as much as we can.
It seems like everybody has a herd of deer living in their yard during the holidays. Yep so do we.
JD keeps saying that one year he is going to go Clark Griswold on our house and go nuts with the lights. He is already planning ideas for next year. LOOK OUT!!
At one of our Christmas parties we decorated ginger bread houses, here is ours complete with a fishing pond and a fishing santa.
We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Holiday's, and we look forward to spending as much time as we can this season with friends and family.
