Whoosh

Trips to Montana are always a whirlwind but this recent one was pretty epic. An incoming Spring snow (shouldn’t that be an oxymoron?!) made me leave a day early, and I am glad I did as the passes got a lot of snow on Thursday, my original travel day.

Lolo Pass on Friday

Although I work remotely, I do have some in-person commitments and that was the main purpose of the trip but I took full advantage of the time.

Lincoln Squared

I got to hang out with these two fun humans.

Suzanne and I practiced draft at Fort Missoula. Starry G ran this certification track on campus…

…and passed! ⭐️ It was especially impressive because it was 5 pm on a weekday and campus was hopping 🤯

But the most random thing was that I got a text from Aysha, who lives in Canada, saying it was a bummer I wasn’t still living in MT because she was in Missoula for a night. Imagine her surprise when I texted back and said that I was also in Missoula! I didn’t get a picture but we had coffee and caught up — SO WONDERFUL ❤️

The drive home was easy — the roads at the passes were cleared off and the views were — as usual — amazing.

It is fun to have a foot in two places 🐾

Happy Saturday!
