Road Trip

This afternoon I’ll be taking a road trip back to Bozeman.  Unfortunately, it will only be for a few days. But I’ll be back Home.

Growing up, my family lived all over the place.  Which gave Jess and I a great chance to experience all kinds of cultures, climates, states, and different lifestyles.  As a kid, I didn’t really understand the value of that.  But now that I am a little older and wiser (?), I begin to get it.  Having lived in a bunch of really different places, I can choose the place I call home.  “Home” isn’t simply the place I have lived my whole life, or where my family lives.  It is where I choose to call it.

That place will always be Montana.  It isn’t just because I was born there, and have spent more years there than any other place.  It suits me.  And no matter how long I am gone, it will always be Home.

I’ll be back, one of these days.
