Flathead Lake

Ahh, a beautiful spring sunset in Polson, MT on the bank of Flathead Lake. I love this place. I used to spend summers here as a kid and it is a perfect mix of nostalgia and straight up awe inspiring natural beauty. Not to bad for a post work evening.

It was a full day today. 12 classrooms at Cherry Valley Elementary, all K-1, an Art night and some computer catch up! The kids are great. Something about teaching the young kids allows me to glimpse the world when it is still brand new. They don't have any judgement, for the most part. Things are new, beautiful, exciting...I think that's why I like this age group. That and they say some of the funniest things I've ever heard.

The people here are great. Honestly, 99.9% of the people I run into in this state are amazing. I love that they wave, that I can stop at Subway and have kids who met me that morning run to greet me. It really is nice to meet such amazing people in my travels.

I am however REALLY tired right now. I traveled last week as well and am starting to lose my sense of direction. Where am I? Where am I going tomorrow?? Thank god for planners.

For now I am going to relax near this beautiful lake. Montana is an amazing place and I am a very lucky lady to be surprised and reminded of it so often.
