Well, tomorrow we leave for Montana. I'm looking forward to driving up the North Fork again... that feeling that I always get bumping along the dirt road, coming around that last corner before the view opens and you're rendered speechless by your first real glimpse of the mountains... I miss those mountains. I miss waking up every morning to see the sun rising over their purple peaks. It's hard to believe that it's been nearly two years since I was there last. I can't wait to see the Polebridge Mercantile again too! :) I really grew to love that old place... the crickety front porch, the smell of baking pastries, the payphones in barrels, Sparky and the other dogs, the outhouse out back... lol I have so many good memories from our Friday afternoon bike rides there.
The reason we're driving up to MT is for my brother Michael's graduation. 
Four years ago, he and I were crazy enough to believe that we could attend a boarding academy out in the boonies of Montana, where the snow banks tower over your head, the only phone is a radio phone, and the nearest real town in over an hour away. :) Two years ago I graduated from Tamarack Springs Academy, in Polebridge MT... and Sunday, the 25th. of this month, Michael will be graduating as well. :)

Then Sunday, after grad, we head up to Audrey and Luke's place in Michigan, to pick up Audrey! :) Monday morning we will be taking off for MT, driving an upper-US rout through Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. We should be arriving in Kalispell sometime around Wednesday afternoon (hopefully we'll all still be in one piece... ;).
I hope to be able to post some pictures and updates as we travel along, but I'll have to see... There's no telling where we're going to have internet access. lol
