Second week out west

As the first week in Helena was about finding a job, so was the second... Still waiting on that golden opportunity but I have grown to appreciate patience as I have grown to appreciate the ways of ranching life. Lauren and I have continued to create our little home - found some furniture pieces at some seriously low prices! We have also added Gershwin to our happy little family, Gershwin Emerson McHugh-Chase... one of the most darling of pet rocks. We also have Roberto, Alejandro and Magpies... Note, Magpies are crazy birds.

I have been learning more and more about ranching and about the history of agriculture industry and I must say, that if you don't know anything about it, you're missing out.... learn a little about Florida and a little about the original American cowboy!

I made a few friends with Lauren at O'Tooles on Friday night and I'm thinking this place is just right for me :)

Yesterday Lauren began teaching me to rope and I have to say, getting that rope around that chair was one of the highlights of my Montana experience so far... I'm not sure why but I feel as though I've accomplished something. Slowly but surely I'll get the hang of this yet, I'm confident in that.
