So, I FINALLY have internet in my apartment. It's been a month since my last post and now I will be able to keep up with it. Montana is awesome! I love it here! My job is great, the people are so nice, and the scenery is beautiful. From the top of any hill in Shelby, you can see the Rockies to the East on a clear day.
So far, I've only been to two places since I arrived in Shelby. I went to Butte, MT for training for work for 3 days, and to Cut Bank, MT, which is the next town to the east from here, for a football game. Let me tell you... the drive to Butte was amazing! Once I drove past Great Falls (86 miles away), I drove through the mountains for 2 hours. They were snow covered too, so that was gorgeous. I'm surprised how not homesick I am. I think my cats help, but I'm having a great time. I know this was the right move for me. I love my job. The kids are great and my cohort Jill and I get along great!
Some things I've seen/heard since coming to Shelby:
~Tumbleweed! Like in American Tail: Fievel Goes West!
~Our Lady of the Rockies- a 100 ft. statue of a woman in Butte that sort of represents the Virgin Mary.
~Border Patrol all over the place
~NO SALES TAX!
~More dogs in the cab of trucks than ever before in my life!
~A "root" is not pronounced root. It is "rut."
~Wind like you wouldn't believe! It's like the wind is getting knocked INTO me!
Here are some pics from Montana! I'll post albums on Facebook this weekend.
The state border!
