I went to Missoula this weekend for a Griz game. It was awesome! The game was really close- 31-34, but my Grizzlies still conquered. I never really cared about football in high school, but it's impossible to go to the University of Montana and not become a rabid fan.
I also love that town. I love Pocatello, but Missoula has some sort of magic about it. Downtown is quaint and fun, the scenery is beautiful, and it's where a lot of pivotal life-moments happened for me. Matt's parents live almost against a mountain. You don't really have to leave town to ski, hike or bike. In fact, it's exactly like Pocatello, only with a different personality.
I feel so incredibly lucky to live in the West. I know I've spent my entire life in Idaho and Montana, but I've never even visited anywhere else where I could imagine living. We really do have it all here. The mountains are beautiful, the people are friendly and the weather is perfect for me.
Man, why don't you rub it in a little thicker how wonderful the great NW is now that I don't live there anymore!! Just teasing! I was thinking that the game was soon, b/c I think this was the weekend we went to Missoula with you last year...or maybe that was last weekend. Sorry that I didn't get to hear about your trip back when we talked this week...we will catch up all about it on Saturday!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
ReplyDeletei love missoula- someday i would like to live there- minus all the cold. :)
ReplyDeletethe football, though- it would take a lot to make me a fan.
