Moose

Well, nature gave me a birthday present. Yesterday, Erik, Kendra, Rosco, & Max and I all went for a little ski after work. I saw my first moose. Do not get too excited. I do not have pictures, and it was all a little anti-climatic because the moose was on one side of Lighting Creek and we were on the other. Nevertheless, I have seen a moose. I am still waiting for an up close and personal sighting, but this should tide me over for now...

Big City Girl

Big city girl, but only for the weekend. I took all the extra time I have been working to do enrollments and took a mini vacation to go visit Maureen in San Diego. Bobby is away at camp Irwin for two weeks so it seems to be perfect timing. Although, I hope Bobby does not develop a complex seeing as I only visit Maureen when he is not around...it just gives us that much more time to "play sisters."

I moved to ClarkFork, Idaho about two weeks ago. The population there is about 530 people, so when I say I am a big city girl for the weekend, I really mean it. ClarkFork is significantly closer to the school, and I was already staying there 2-3 times a week with good friends of mine. We talked about me moving in, I put my place up for sublet, and before I knew it I needed to be moved out by the end of the month. So far things have been great, although I do not have Internet there yet, so it has been hard for me to keep this updated, or even keep in touch. I spent all yesterday morning just writing emails while Maureen was at work. My cell phone also does not have service in ClarkFork, but I usually forward it to the house line or check messages, so no need to worry about a new number.

Just a short check in. I have got to get all dolled up, and put on my "gems" (Maureen's word for jewelry) for our trip to La Jolla for table side guacamole. They bring out all the ingredients and make it right in front of you. This is my favorite thing to do when I visit her, well besides shop and enjoy the sun.
