Dashboard in the Chevy: Honey Moon from Heaven

Happily Married

Its been so long I don't know if I know how to write any longer. The biggest thing this year by far is the mawage. I've been with Josh for three years, and June 20, 2015 we sealed the deal with wedding bands. Your wedding day is the happiest day of your life (and if it's not, DON'T do it). Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and my only wish is that it was longer.
The second best decision of our life was to take a week off from work (for me not nearly long enough away). We went to Yellowstone. It was wonderful. We saw all the wildlife, road construction, and license plates. I also wish I could re-live that week.
We left on a Sunday and drove through Idaho to Dillon, Montana, very quaint, and we didn't overstay our visit. We sat in the hot tub and chatted with very nice Canadian women. The next morning we traveled to Missoula, Montana, we walked along the river trail and enjoyed the best sushi Montana had to offer. We headed up to our fire tower near Butte. We wanted to get there before dusk, but we got there right at dusk. Unfortunately all we had were their directions which were quite terrible, so we drove to the best position to pick up a satellite and punched in the cabin coordinates into Garmin. He took us the wrong way and wanted us to drive across a canyon. We took another direction and after 6 miles of dirt road uphill we found it and it was wonderful. 360 degrees of breath taking views in an entirely glass room on the third floor. The first day we were there we went on a hike, played games and watched videos it was so relaxing to do nothing and get paid.
After our two night stay in Montana, on a Tuesday, we headed through North Yellowstone all the way down to West Yellowstone to our adorable but terribly haunted cabin, complete with bathroom and kitchen. In North Yellowstone my first introduction to wildlife was elk roaming the roads and lounging on the grass. We stopped at Mammoth hot springs and enjoyed the sulfur and paint pots. We made a lot of little stops taking pictures and making fun of the selfie sticks. We toured the park seeing everything near the north and west entrances. We spent the next couple of days doing everything we could. In island park at our cabin we went on the longest canoe ride ever, and saw the biggest fish we have ever seen. On the canoe trip we talked to a family that said Norris was the place to spot black bear, and we did, a cub, he was adorable, and made us miss Jack. I watched him longer than one person should and tried to get a picture. He was a cub and we couldn't spot mom so I lingered in the back.
We visited Old Faithful my favorite part, and talked to the nicest lady, named Ann that worked at the Old Faithful Inn, we told her our story and she got us a room at the Old Faithful Inn right across from Old Faithful, it was gorgeous. We did the rich touristy thing and ate ate at the Old Faithful Inn dining room, it was $50 a plate and not very tasty, not money well spent but it was fun. We retired to our room and watched the sun go down...as if! We still had things to see, so we wandered a bit. We spent a little longer in the park the next day which was Saturday and saw two more bears, little brown bears, and then we went on our way to Idaho to stay at the Anniversary Inn. Along the way we drove on the rumble strip to avoid debris, and ended up driving over quite a large nail, completely destroying the tire. So we went to a well known grocery store tire place, only to find out it would be an hour long wait, we happened to find another tire store. They were the absolute best to work with, we told them our story, and they got the tire off, told us it wasn't repairable and had a new one on in half an hour, they even stayed after they were closed to help us.
Our plan was to be at the inn at five, and due to our extended stay in Idaho Falls we arrived just after 8. We got to the Anniversary Inn starving, so we ordered Dominoes and decided to walk there, which was weird, and humid and too hot to imagine. There's not a lot I like about Idaho, but the Inn was fantastic and Island Park was the best. After a restful soak and long needed sleep we headed home.
We arrived home picked up our doggy and I was carried across our thresh hold.
Sorry for the multi-fold of out of order photos, but it was the best week of my life.
