Week Sixteen.... that's just weird. This summer flew by and it is just kind of sad for us. Meeting friends, camping almost every week, catching amazing trout has all be unreal and so soul satisfying. This place really represents us. It is a simple life. A life that is 80 miles to the nearest big town. It is quiet. It is spent outside. And incorporates everything that we love, everything that we are. We have no doubts at this point that we will one day own property some where in Montana. Not to get anyone excited... we won't be "settling down" haha! But we would love to have a little landing spot. Maybe one here and one there all across the country. We have caught the northwest fever though and will surely be spending more summers here in the future.
We rounded up all of the friends that we could and drove out to Hebgen one last time. It was just as amazing as it always is. Full of fun and laughter and stars too many to count and sunsets that knock you to your knees. We had boats and rafts and guitars and fishing poles. There was fellowship and food and fires. All adding up to the most perfect "goodbye" trip yet!
I do have to say something though... it's actually quite funny. Every time Jordan and I are about to leave a place we make a point to go to our favorite spot in that little town or place. Like in Kauai we went to our favorite beach or here in Montana our favorite camping spot.... but every time we do we sit outside watching the sun set reflecting on everything that has happened there. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we stare in our quiet reflections. But I kid you not, God has yet to disappoint us with a sunset. It seems that for whatever reason we are blessed with the craziest, most beautiful sunset of that whole season on the night we leave. Tonight was no different from that. Truly remarkable. I pray that I never take these moments for granted.
