So, I went to Montana last weekend, and I fell in love with the state. It has to be, hands down, one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life.

I spent most of my time there in Missoula, which was good. If I do end up moving to Montana, Missoula will be the place I start out in, because it’s a college town, and has a large art community. I really want to pursue being a photojournalist, and I think with the J-school at the University of Montana, combined with the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, I have an opportunity to produce a really awesome body of work.

The biggest thing that’s holding me back is the fear of a move that big. I’ve never lived outside of North Carolina, with the exception of 6 weeks in Spain, and I know absolutely no one in Montana. All combined, it makes for a very daunting experience.

I’m really praying through this one, and as much as I want to go, I’m not ready to commit. If I move, it will be 7 months from today, and in that time I have to work out tuition for either/or both schools, find a place to live, arrange for moving and packing. Anyone who has been to my house knows that packing in itself is gonna be an ordeal. Haha, it has admittedly gotten better since Norrie moved in.

So, if you’re reading this, then throw a prayer up to Jesus for me for peace and clarity. I don’t want to go unless it’s really His will, so we’ll see what happens. In the meantime, check out my photographs on Facebook.
