Hello, everyone! Boy, has it been a long time since I’ve written to you all! I have been insanely busy since my last post in November. There wasn’t a lot to write about, so I kind of quit writing. However, I’m back with more content!
My big highlights for November and December were a couple of trips to Bozeman, MT and the big trip back to Iowa for Christmas.
Bozeman was a great time! I went to a restaurant called Naked Noodle, which was phenomenal. My friend, Katie, and I went shopping, spent way too much money at lululemon and closed our day out getting cookie dough from a truck called Brookie’s Cookies. Brookie’s Cookies is a new favorite of mine, to say the least.
Now, onto the trip to Iowa. Christmas is always a great time to go home, as long as you can avoid any bad weather. I had a super easy drive, with a ton of awesome views on my way to Iowa.
I always drive the 14 hours straight through, which leads to a long drive alone, but it’s a lot better than making it a two day trip. I got a lot of neat pics throughout Montana to share with you!
I had a lot of fun being home! We did a lot of fun things as a family, but one of my highlights was when my mom and I went to Mankato, MN to look at Christmas lights. The lights were so pretty, and we had a lot of fun together!
If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend going to Mankato to check out their lights.
Christmas break ended up being really great. Sadly, the trip back wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. I got delayed by 3 days, because there had been a major storm and the interstate back out west was closed. I made it back to Montana a few days late. I wouldn’t trade being hoe for anything!
I hope to keep up with the blog this time! I have a lot of new places to tell you all about!
Happy Hiking!
