So, the weekend went well, though a bit crazy. There were actually a ton of VISTAs in town for the fair, which was fun. It was exciting to have people my age here. Matt made it in (despite hitting a few animals), which was the best thing that's happened for a while! I was really excited to have a Wisconsin person here...
On Friday, we all went to the Montana Bar, where Matt was surprised by the number of cowboys. I guess I noticed too, when I first arrived here. I've kind of adapted to the culture and people here- it's really kind of an interesting place to be... When Matt reminded me that things were in fact quite different here than in the Midwest generally, I began to get all homesick again. It didn't end well...
Saturday was kind of fun as well. I had to work at the fair for a few hours, during which Matt and Susan joined in on the fun. Before the fair, Susan and I took Matt to Murdoch's (Similar to Fleet Farm, err Farm and Fleet), where he had tried to convince me to get boots... Which I did, as he picked up a cowboy hat (which worked for him surprisingly well!). He even wore it while sitting around the fair booth, despite an apparent silly feeling. Susan and I wore cute Elf Hats, as the fair's theme was Christmas in August. The elf hats gained our table brownie points.
I've still got several trainings to attend (IST in Big Sky over labor day and a retreat for ACMAC in October!), and a camping adventure planned, I'm sure I'll be keeping somewhat busy. Work is also helping to keep my mind off of a strong desire to go home.
