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.
