New Blog is here:Still Just a Simple Girl

I grew living here, more than any other time in my life.  I learned to trust God unconditionally.  That believing and not understanding is all God asks.  Last week Chris got the job offer of a lifetime-full time work in Yellowstone Naitonal Park.  Our dream job....if I wasn't the mother of two teenagers.  It was then that I understood that this change in our lives wasn't about me or Chris.  It was about our children.  I knew God was giving me a gift...the gift of 'why'.  I didn't just have to believe Him this time, He was letting me understand.  There are things my children need that we cannot provide for them here.  End of story.  I am so thankful.

This blog has always been about my life here in Montana.  My dream.  My adventures.  I want it to remain pure.  That would be impossible if I spent my last few weeks here telling about packing, moving, etc.  I am in transition mode.

The 18 months I have spent here have seemed like a lifetime.  A blessed gift.  A once in a lifetime chance.  I would do it over a thousand times, even if I knew it would all end.  My time here has defined me.  I will never again be the same.

In 5 weeks we will leave this place and head to Virginia.  Many new adventures await us.  I can't wait.  In time I will start a new blog and post the link here.

I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. 

I will leave you with the lyrics to Green Day's Riddance.  This song seems to creep its way into different endings in my life and this time is no different.

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
