Montana Life

So, what does one do in Montana?

Well, you hike to scenic lookouts:

You hike through fields of wildflowers:

You take a trolley tour of Helena:

You visit high-altitude botanical gardens:

And, you cozy up on an outdoor rocking chair to read:

It's a pretty good life.

Ch-Ch-Changes

It's been awhile since I last posted, and a few things have changed in the meantime. One of the biggest changes is that Bryan and I are no longer city-slickers, living it up on Chicago's north-side.  Currently we're living in... Helena, Montana (Didn't see that one coming, did you?). As you might guess, it's slightly different living here than in Chicago. For example, it takes about as long to walk to the end of our driveway, as it did for me to get most of the way to the el stop on my way to work. And, when I get to the end of the driveway for a walk, I'm greeted by open fields, hills to traverse, and mountains in the distance. It looks like this:

Breath-taking, right? I can't believe I live somewhere that looks like this!

Also, the other day we spotted a fox from the kitchen window while making breakfast. And, speaking of breakfast, I love the view while I'm eating my scrambled eggs:

More from life out West to come!
