Farewell Big Mama : (

One of our good buddies at MMSC is moving to Utah so Bree threw a farewell party for her. 
Problem #1: Bree lives out in the middle of no where, somewhere between Sugar City and St. Anthony
Problem #2: It was dark
Problem #3: Neither Raini or myself had ever been there before
Problem #5: No GPS.  Raini printed out the directions on Mapquest and was relying on ME to guide her

Needless to say we thought we missed the road we were suppose to take and our piece of paper with the directions unfortunaltely did not know how to say "re-calculating" so we tried to "re-calculate" ourselves. We ended up on some podunk road that got bumpier and bumpier until we ended up at some weird cattle guard fence. 
We turned around and tried to get back to where we were. In the meantime Emily had been lost and texting us too, but she was now at the end of Bree's driveway with her hazards on as a beacon to help us find our way. 
Finally Monica called us to see where we were and we were laughing so hard.
Here is the conversation the best I can remember
 
Me: We are lost and have no idea where we are
Monica: What do you see:
Me: Potatoe  pilers (we were in "town")
Monica: Drive to a gas station or something
...we drive....
Me: (I read her the road signs)
Monica: You're on hwy 33? How did you get clear over there? 
 (lots of laughing and giggling in the background)
...drive some more...
Me: OK we are at a bar...with gas pumps
Monica: You're at the bar?
(more laughing)
Monica: Just stay there and I'll come get you. Don't drink anything!!
Me: OK mom!
 (more laughing and giggling in the background)

 Monica!!

In our defense we were at one point less than 1/2 mile away from Bree's house. We had just made a right when we should've made a left. Oh, never a dull moment when Raini and I are together.
 Raini
Like I said, never a dull moment!
Bree, Raini, Emily, Tamra aka Big Mama, aka Salty Seniorita, aka Dorkus, and me. Monica was there too but we forgot to get pictures before she left.

Once we all got there we had a BLAST!! We got a tour of Bree's house and found out how amazingly talented she is. She made literally everything you can see in this picture, minus the table and chairs. We at yummy food, played my favorite game Wackee Six and of course talked, laughed and talked some more. Tamra is always a hoot and is so much fun to be around. It's going to be so weird to go to work and not see her there. It was sad to say goodbye : (
