Long Overdue

It has been so long since I last posted, but time got away from me.  The most exciting update we have… FIRE SEASON IS OVER.  Brian and his crew ended up working about 1,000 hours of overtime and I know Brian is glad to relax after six long months of very hard work.  We were so excited and relieved when he finally came home from a month long fire in Elk City, Idaho. This was by far the most challenging fire and I am still wondering how we both survived it.   It took a while to sink in that he would not be leaving for another fire until next March and we can now say we have spent longer than two weeks together for the first time since getting married-so great!  It has been so wonderful finally getting to spend all of our time together and I have been spoiled by Brian.  He does all of the grocery shopping, cooks dinner every night, and I often come home to the cleanest apartment ever (Kathy, you would be so proud of his cleaning skills)!     

I am still working on my Masters and just started two new classes today.  I have been doing observations at the school across the street from us and I love it there.  The population is primarily Hispanic so a lot of the classes are bilingual; this has been fabulous for practicing my Spanish.  All of the teachers are so friendly and the students love having a visitor. 

Other than these big events we have just been enjoying Santa Fe.  Here are some pictures of what we have been up to.
