Road Trip

Last Wednesday afternoon we took off for Pullman, Washington to visit the town, and the Vet school. It is about 17 hours from Laramie, quite a drive. We got to Matthew's parents around 6 on Wednesday night. Then we left around 7 the next morning on drove clear across I-90 through Montana, a little bit of Idaho, then to Washington. We drove through green rolling hills with about 45 degree weather then we hit he little town Pullman. We checked into our hotel, went and looked for the vet school, and got a bite to eat. We got lost a few times, but we found our way around. Pullman is a cool town, all the houses and stores are up on hills, and the University is right in the middle of it all. When we checked into our hotel we noticed our TV didn't work, so we went and told the front desk, and they gave us a suite. We got the Cougar suite, it had a king size bed, a jacuzzi, and the room was covered with Washington State decor. The next morning we got up, and headed to the college for our tour. The Vet college was very good to us, we walked in and in the lobby there was a TV that said "Welcome Matthew and Charlene from Wyoming". They gave me a few numbers for jobs, and they set us up with a other couple that were married with kids who were LDS, and they gave us some numbers for house. We hit up the creamery, and got milkshakes, and a thing of their cougar gold sharp cheese in a can. They were all yummy. I think that is what sold us on moving there. Lol. Not really, the school is great, and I think that Pullman will be a great fit for us. We then headed back to Lovell and got there around 12:45 pm that night. We were able to see lots of family on this trip which was a huge bonus. Matthew will start school this fall in August. We are excited about moving to Pullman for the next 4 years.
