2008-01-28 12:13:12 with 1 CommentHey guys! Amanda, don't worry I'm not tryin' to one-up your beautiful pictures, just wanted to share some too. We're pretty well snowed in today. Chris attempted snow removal at the Forest Service office and due to wind and non-stop snow, the powers that be closed down the office and sent everyone home. I have a couple pix, one from a x-country ski a few of us went on yesterday (I am sooo sore) and then this morning's snow. Note the snow banks on either side of my barely visble truck. Well, I suppose today is one to drink heavily and stay in jammies. Happy snowiness to all!

Goodness. This is the year of love!!! I know of at least 6 weddings of friends this year. I will be attending 3 in the next upcoming 3 months! I am soooo excited about yours the mostest...but...what should I wear! I know you have it easy Amanda, you've got white covered, girl! I realize it's going to be at a chapel for the ceremony, but will the reception be full on New Year's Eve style wedding bash or what...? Do I get to wear a little tassled cone hat with a boa? What might someone expect on this awesomely well planned-sure-to-be-the-best-New Year's EVER!? I believe this calls for an update to the musty wardrobe. Yeah!!

2007-05-28 09:46:48 with 2 CommentsI know all ya'll are better at posting pix as events pass by, but I'm not soo good at it. So, here's a random assortment of photos (now that I've got this zip/compressed file thing down) and I will make an effort to provide more chronologically accurate accounts of important events and what not.
Pray for my diligence.

Well, time to settle in for another cold winter...or is it? It's mid-December and the ground is bare. Frozen, but bare. I don't like it!!! But that's OK! In less than two weeks, I should be wearing sandals and a short sleeve T-shirt, as I make my way south to Baja, Mexico with my dog Emma and boyfriend Chris.
I suppose that'll soothe my need for snow.
Well, outlandish as it may sound, I am still working (at this very moment even!) for the BLM. It was an incredible year here in southeastern Idaho. I gained a lot experience working as the second in command of a type 4 heavy fire engine (the big ones). My crew, the largest on the district, rolled with 7 firefighters. From late June through August and into September, we averaged approximately a new fire start every 3 days. In the Forest Service that wouldn't have meant much because fires generally stay less than 10 acres, but on our district, the Malad area especially, it was a very common occurance for our fires to rage out of control and easily surpass the 100 acre mark, our largest the Crystal Fire, devouring over 220,000 acres of Eastern Idaho desert. 220,000 acres is about 340 square miles...that is a lot of burned country! I believe that fire was our district's largest on record.
I suppose, having just run into a mental block, I will conclude this abbreviated newsletter by wishing everybody fabulous '06 holiday season. Safe travels and happy eating!
