Living in Montana

I have now been settled in Montana for almost a month and I actually like it. I love my job...it is 100% better than teaching in Rock Springs....and I have met some nice people and made some good friends.

This is a picture of Fort Peck Lake....it is huge and is only like 20 min away from where I live.
Another picture of the Lake.
This is pretty much what it looks like up here.....lots of open spaces and farmland. It is different from the Mountains that I am used to but I am kind of liking it.
This is my classroom....a view from where I sit to run the computer and smart board. The kids sit along the walls at a computer.
My friend Caitlin (English Teacher) the one with the flowers around her neck threw a Cap and Gown party at her house. I thought that was a fun theme and I could not believe I still had my cap and gown from getting my Masters.
I even got flowers from a certain someone.
This is the certain someone....I will tell about him another time :-)
Tarene came and stayed with me a night because she was driving back to Saskatoon from Utah. It is awesome that we live close enough to visit each other now. The guy is the Social Studies teacher and football coach. I had a teachers dinner that night and Tarene tagged along. It was a super fun night and later that night we went out and some Native Americans gave us our Indian Names....I am Cherry Woman and she is Wise One????? Don't ask me how that came about?
