You guys. YOU GUYS.

I am in Montana, and it is so beautiful, so bedrock-right-feeling in my skin and flesh, that it hurts to think about not being here in another few days or a week. I miss my home and I miss my husband and I miss all the normal mosaic-pieces of my life, but I kind of wish that every couple of months I could uproot that life and replant it in Montana for a week or so. It's nothing like I thought it would be. It's not a state that ever interested me, and yesterday I bought this sticker:

And last night I put it on the back of my car after my Montana-native friend assured me that I wasn't a poser for feeling that way after a week.
