Have you ever lived in another country besides
your country of birth? Would you want
to?
Reading this first question caused me to
chuckle. I haven’t even lived outside of
the state of Montana. Sure, I went to
BASIC training for eight weeks in New Jersey.
I spent eleven weeks in Texas going to medical school for the Army
National Guard. For a month, I learned
about military finance in California. Other then these short stints, I have
never lived outside of the Big Sky state.
I would love to live somewhere else. Now, don’t misunderstand, I love my home
state with a passion. I have driven to
Libby, Missoula, Bozeman, and Billings so many times I think I could go on
autopilot. I may have gone on autopilot,
opps. But for all the thousands of miles I have traveled the state, I never get
tired of the beauty. I love it here.
My Nixon family were homesteaders. They were one of the first to come to the
Colonies back in the day. They went from
Massachusetts to Virginia. I believe they were their when it became West
Virginia. After the Civil War, they
headed west to eventually in 1922 land in Libby. I believe with the four
generations, it is the longest they have stayed in one place while in the states. I have that exploring drive, so I would love
to live in other places. I long to move down South and stay for a year or two.
I dream of living in York, England for a time.
Of course, my roots are deep here in Montana. With my kids still in the state, I don’t know
that I will leave for longer then a month long vacation. And that is okay. But, when Madelle
graduates, if we get a chance to change it up in another state or country, I
will be all for the new adventure.
