country girl

I'm not sure many people know this about me,
but I'm kind of a

country girl.

(me & Jen on top of Angels Landing in Zion.
Proof I'm country because I wear a cowboy hat??
Probably not, but I do own 3 of em...and cowboy boots.)

I don't know if it's because I'm from
the wide open spaces of Montana,
that I'm a romantic,
that my parents listen to it,
or some other factor.

But whenever I need to unwind,
I'm having a hard time,
or I'm feeling extra lovey,
it's country music I turn on.

I feel like it re-centers me,
makes time go slower,
makes the world seem more innocent
and simple.

In fact it makes life feel small town,
like my home town of
Kalispell Montana
and the summers I spent at our place in
Salmon Idaho.
I love that feeling.

**I should put a disclaimer that not all country music is awesome and makes me feel this way. Just like not all Radiohead makes me want to make out...unless it's In Rainbows, that album totally makes me want to make out!
