In October of 2024, Brian, Riley, and I took in the sights of Montana. I had never been there before and now I will tell everyone and anyone that they should visit. It is one of the most beautiful, expansive, friendly places I’ve ever been.

. 

Fall had just begun and I drove Brian and Riley crazy asking if we could stop every other minute to take pictures of the leaves.

The sky had more stars that I’ve ever seen. And it was so quiet.

Riley turned 14 in February and he is officially taller than me, now.

We found one of his favorite author’s books (Ben Hatke) at a bookstore in Montana and it made my day – which consequently made my day.

Riley is so fun to adventure with. I’ll never forget Montana and our time together there!
