Blessings come in different ways....and our blessing for this game is that UND has an indoor stadium. I flew in Friday afternoon just as the snow started coming down. It was much prettier knowing that we didn't have to sit in it to watch football. Whitney flew in later that evening. We got to do a little shopping on this trip. Grand Forks isn't a big town but their football facility is really nice. It has a hotel connected to it along with a conference center.
Once again, the game was a close one and we ended up on the losing end. Every game is so close. After the game, they were having a Holiday fair in the convention center so Whitney and I went to it. It was fun to look around at the products that are unique to North Dakota.
On Sunday, I had a 5 hour lay over in Billings, Montana. I experienced a first for me. I was there about 30 min. before the 1 pm Sacrament meeting was starting. So....I got a cab and went to church. The cab driver asked me on the way, "Did you fly up here just to go to church?" I enjoyed Sacrament meeting so much. I'm grateful that where ever you go in the world, when you walk into a LDS Sacrament meeting, you feel like you are home. The funniest thing was waiting for the taxi after church with my bag outside of the church. I really felt like a bag lady. I was standing to the side of the building so not to be so noticed and the cab pulled right up in front of the church. I was trying to gather my things and get around to him. He didn't see me and got out of the cab to go in the church. I had to real hurry around and call out to him....that is the last thing I wanted was for him to go into the church! It was a interesting experience.
