Today I did some research on Baker and the surrounding areas. Check out the new links to the left, MontanaPictures.net and the link to information about Medicine Rocks.
The most popular question I've been asked, by people in Chicago, Montana, and beyond, is, "What brought you to Baker?" So, here's the answer:
Stephan and I knew there were opportunities for him to get his student loans repaid (at least partially) by working for Native Americans, or in rural communities where health care workers were hard to come by. In the midst of this research Stephan's roommate from Alaska, Matt Prince, emailed him about their impending move to a small town in Montana where his wife, Kayle, would be working as a Nurse Practitioner in their medical center.
A few months later Stephan emailed Matt and Kayle, asking if they were looking for nurses there, and if they liked the town. We came to visit in December, and immeditely fell in love with the town, the people, the area, and the idea of living a little more slowly and inexpensively than we had been in Chicago. So, from the middle of December to today the journey has been a little crazy, but a beautiful adventure nonetheless.
