I came from Connecticut in 2004 to Three Forks. The first time I was heading over a one-lane bridge and saw hundreds of cows coming at me I cried. I was so scared. They told me to keep driving they would move but I sat there with cows around my car crying and frozen until they were past me.

I no longer live in Montana but in 2010 I moved from Florida to Bozeman. It was March. Very bad idea. Floridians don't have winter clothes. I stood outside waiting for my son's bus with a comforter from the hotel wrapped around the both of us. I was wondering if the bus was even running because it was like negative 20. The bus pulled up and it ran on propane. The cold was a complete shock even after living in Michigan almost my entire life. I miss Montana.
