bye bye bozeman.

[these photos are from the lay part of laysay!]


we have been in bozeman, montana for a week with our dear friend SARAH. we swung by this great state to drop her off at the end of tour. we hosted a meet-and-greet at her church services and we've also set up a photo gallery of everyone’s prints. it will be in a local cafe  for the next month.

between these times, our adventurous have been amazing and numerous.

we met her lovely best friends, of whom we have heard MUCH about in the last two years (when you live day-in and day-out with someone, we tend to hear even the smallest, most random and irrelevant stories.) Little did the girls know that when I met them and shook their hands, I already knew their entire life stories, junior high crushes, favorite colors, and greatest moral dilemmas (jk..?). 

layne and i also found sarah’s ex-love, daniel, wandering on the streets (small town) and graciously invited him to take some self-portraits with us. 
we found it amusing.
sarah did not.
daniel was a nice man. 
and again, we already knew everything about him anyway.
might as well snap a picture! 

oops. caught.

way back when we were in kona, we (the track) sat down together and made a whole stack of random encouraging notes. it's one of the ideas from our book -- have you heard of it?-- Act Here. Love Now!!!


we’ve been carrying them with us on tour, leaving them in places and spaces up the coast.  bozeman will get the last of our love!

and the very best thing about our little trip to Bozeman has undoubtedly been our short but lucrative career as firework saleswomen. 

we have gotten to meet all sorts of locals and friendly faces.

I've especially loved the multitudes of fathers with their sons and daughters. It was very sweet until we realized that most of these grown men just use their children as props in the effort to make their purchases of large explosives acceptable to their wives. 
but we don't judge here at Bobcat Discount Fireworks!

today Layne and I will fly down to Dallas, where she will stay for a few days and then LEAVE me to be with her Canadian husband-to-be.


and I will stay in Texas. because it's my new home! 
my three years with YWAM are over, and  a new season begins....
