Well, by the looks of the snow storm in Eastern Montana this morning I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to go to Chicago or not. After church, I made breakfast for my Mom and Grandpa as it was both of their birthday’s today. My grandpa turned 94 today. You wouldn’t know it by the looks of him. What a handsome young looking fun man! I’m so glad I have been able to spend some quality time with him these past couple of weeks. Very priceless. We enjoyed scrambled eggs with garlic, tomato, feta and spinach, a fruit salad, and ezekial toast with jam and afterward we washed it down with Mimosas. My train wasn’t supposed to leave Wolf Point until 4:30 but by the looks of the weather we either needed to get on the road or cancel the trip. So I quickly packed up my stuff and my dad and I took off down the road (which was “closed” according to the road report). The wind howled at somewhere around 50 miles per hour and snow flew across the road but not many drifts were created so thankfully, we weren’t bucking snow banks. The visibility in a couple places was EXTREMELY minimal so those points were pretty scary but we made it. After bumming around town, we sat at the station and awaited the train which was surprisingly right on time. So now I sit here, cozy in my little roomette, studying for my interview on Tuesday and relaxing for the 22hr ride to Chicago.
