Mmm Montana

I saw Brokeback Mountain last night. First let me say what a wonderful love story and an amazing movie it is. If you have seen the movie, you have seen the beautiful scenery. It made me realize how much I love the mountains. I always thought of myself as an ocean girl, but now I think I am equally a mountain girl and need to find a place with both. I have always loved the mountains, my sister has lived in Montana for a long time, but it wasn't until this summer that my heart went to them. I don't know if it was the experience, or the people I was with or just that I lived in them for 3 months, but I love them more than ever. I was just in Montana over Christmas, but I already want to go back and be among the mountains. The music they played in the movie was Montana music, at least what I think Montana music is. With the music and the scenery, I would forget that I was watching a movie. And for a moment, I was there, lost in the montains, back in Montana. Mmm mountains... Mmm Montana.

They must need nannies there too! And teachers, for that matter. Let's make the move!

Wouldn't it be nice to have all three of us in one place? We should really do it.

Except you just bought a house, so that idea wouldn't work so much. Oh well.

COME ON IN THE WATER'S WARM.... really, there's enough room in this Big Sky for all of us _docs. Well, maybe not ALLLLL of us.

Great entry Cass. The mountains speak to my ever-loving adventurous soul every day. I feel lucky.

There is enough room for sister docs and parents doc though! Wouldn't it be great for all of us to live so close to each other once again?

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day

Target

I called my Mom to tell her that the parents are back and that I am responsibility-free in the evenings and weekends again. She didn't answer, but returned my phone call soon after. I told her my news, and she shared with me that she was about to head into the new Target. We are a family of Target-lovers, what's not to love? As she walked in, she said "it's huge." I tried talking to her, but could tell that she was distracted. She started to ask me something, "Did you... you should see the card section, it is like the one in Grand Forks." I, again, tried to change the subject back to what I was talking about. I finally let her go because she needed to finish shopping in there before returning home to watch Lost, throwing in "it has a Starbucks" before we said our goodbyes. A few minutes later my phone rings. It is my Mom again, she called to say "You should see all the food they have. They have a lot of organic food, organic oatmeal and or

What do I do?

All week I have made some attempt to tell the parents I am leaving. It started on Tuesday, all night I tried to tell them, but everytime I was about to bring it up, one of the parents would leave the room or the baby got hurt, etc. Wednesday, I made plans to go to the neighbors when the parents got home, but I made an attempt to tell them anyway, but S was glued to my side. I kept trying to distract her with food and television, but no go. I could have just said "I need to talk to you parents, go away", but I know her well enough to know that would have only peaked her interest and she would never go away. Last night, I was SO ready to tell them. The father asked me to watch the girls for 15 minutes while he weed-whacked the yard. I said sure, thinking the mother should be home any minute and then I could tell her when he is outside (I decided that if I can't tell them both at the same time, I will tell the mother alone). I waited and waited and waited. Not only was it 8
