Well we had to leave Washington for school even if we didn't want to. We enjoyed our time so much in Washington we really didn't want to come back to "real life". The car has had some problems and Dale and Nate had been working dilligently on it but the problem seemed to by a mystery. They figured out tricks in order to get the car started and we felt like we were good to go. We made it to Gary and Dana's home for the first part of the trip and the car did pretty good. So we headed out for the second leg of the trip and had to stop in Missoula, MT for gas. Once we got the car filled up the car wouldn't start. This has happened before and sometimes when we have given the car some time to cool down it would start right up but this time the car just gave up on us. We made all sorts of phone calls and after spending four hours at the gas station, a very nice bishop towed our car to the closest hotel where we could wait in comfort for my parents to drive the five hours in order to get us back home.

Our hotel was right on this beautiful rive and right across from the University of Montana. We enjoyed the evening by walking down by the river and around campus.It was interesting to see the difference between BYU-Idaho and the campus there. I felt like I would have had a completely different college experience if I went to a different school.

Paige's bed for the night- a dresser drawer with towels in it. She didn't last very long it though. Most of the night was spend in our bed.
Getting the car all set up to tow it home.
Poor car- I really hope we get it fixed so that we have a dependable car again.
We started school this week and while our car sits at my parent's house, we are borrowing a car from them. Hopefully we can figure what to do for the car soon and I'm sure everything will work out because it always does even though sometimes it not always how we imagine it.
