Visiting one of our favorite places...Montana

On our way back from the reunion we decided to head up north and visit Missoula. We loved living in Missoula and met some of the most loving, humble people there. We drove by our first house, it has not been kept up very well. It was our first house and put a lot of love and hard work into the house and yard. We have many fond memories there and brought 2 of our children home from the hospital to that house. We drove by Baylee's preschools, our church, the hospital where Jake and Syd were born, and some of our favorite places to go while we lived there. We had forgotten what a beautiful place Missoula is with all the Mountains and rivers surrounding it.
We stayed at the Godfrey's house that night. Our kids played together like they had not been a part for the last 3 1/2 years. Carrie and I stayed up late talking about life. Earlier that night we had a big get together at the Banna's house where 7 other families came over for dinner and fun. We are so grateful for the forever friends we made in Missoula.
