Simple.

I have been inspired. My sweetest sister-in-law Amanda Minatra up-keeps her blog, www.montanaminatras.blogspot.com , very regularly and I realized that its hard to find someone that posts often, so i'm giving this another go.

For any of you that have ever followed my blog in the past you might be surprised at the simplicity of the background and colors of this but I was pondering the fact that i'm not a terribly simplistic person so i am becoming an activist on this score. not everything has to be simplistic all the time for me but i think i need to practice it for a season. i have been doing alot of packing and moving and traveling the last couple months and when it comes to packing simplistic and well ordered is not the high point.

anyhow, i am hoping to keep a simple (there it is again) journal of my summers adventures. words. descriptions. quotes. photos. scribbles.

i am here in north dakota visiting family in the one street, old buildings, lilac bushes on every corner, freindly people, tiny town of Watford City. on wednesday i will hop on the Amtrak and eleven hours later arrive in Big Sky Montana! thus begins a summer of craziness but just hold on to your boot straps those stories will come :)

bear with me as i am "relearning" photography. i don't have much confidence yet but it will come, but here are a few shots to wet our appetites.

P.s. my sweet darling sister Beccuh is off gathering a suitcase of senses in Europe. i am so proud of her.
