Short and Sweet

The library is closing in 9 min. so I'll do my best.

Work is going fine. A bit mondane at times but I'm making some money as is Jason. The last couple of weeks have just been busy working and then coming home and working at home. Sunday we went up the north Fork up to the entrance of Yellowstone called Pahaska. We took our horses to church, (yes to church) and then embarked on our horse adventure. We took 2 friends and their horses and headed into the hills for a couple of miles. The weather was superb. There was so much water running down the valley into the river, it was just beautiful to see so many waterfalls in a very dry land. Once we hit our turn around place, we grazed the horses and Jason went looking for Grizzly bears. Yes, he wanted to find one. Everytime he is with me, we never see them. The prayers of a righteous woman are heard! I think that's how that goes. Anyways, I didn't pray too hard that day because not more than 75-100 yards away, there was a big boy! Jason was excited and called us over only I couldn't move because my heart was in my throat! I froze but stayed calm. I could see him when he moved over the fallen logs. It was time to go. Jason was thankful but wanted to see more. On the way out, I spotted one about 600 yrds away across the river. A great distance for me. He was even bigger. Jason was excited but prayed for more on the way home. He wanted to see a sow and cubs. As we loaded the trailer and hit the open road, there were the typical line of tourists hugging the guard rail. There, across the river along the hillside, was a sow and a year or 2 old cub trailing behind here. Yea God! Jason was stoked that God, His Daddy on Father's day, showed him His greatness and fulfilled his wishes. What an awesome Daddy we've got!

Must go, my minutes are up. Until next time...

Life Lately

Well, I'm back to work, not at the school but rather doing my summer job. I've been painting on Friday and today I did a bit in the morning until I ran out of work. I've been working alone as a few of the girls have either left or have been sick. Jason is busy working to case in some new sprinklers in some college housing and I come in behind him to paint said boxes. It's not hard but tim consuming and neck breaking since it's all near the ceiling. Oh well, at least I'll make some extra money which we always seem to need.

Our memorial (long) weekend was not too eventful. We had a week of straight rain, which has been unheard of in the last decade. Everything is green and we're all hoping the drought is over. So due to the rain, our camping trip was cancelled. Instead, Jason's aunt, uncle and cousins from Michegan came down for 2 days. We tried to go fishing and his cousin did catch two but because of the rain and spring melt from the mountains, fishing is not in it's prime. But I think they had a good time. I then had 2 days at home to plant my small garden and clean and then it was back to a full work day.

Tonight and for the next 3 days, I will be in Meeteetse at the annual Rodeo Bible Camp that Western Frontiers puts on. Formally Cowboys With A Mission, where Jason and I met. So I'll be in registration tonight, serving food for the next 3 days and floating around. Thursday is a little jackpot rodeo for the kids to enter up and I'll be the official timer for all events. Of course, these jobs are always changable upon arrival. Story of my life. But you just gotta roll with the punches sometimes. Jason already asked what he's going to be eatting for the next couple of days, and it'll be whatever he finds or who ever he calls. If I make stuff ahead of time, he doesn't eat it anyway, so I haven't bothered.

Well, I've been here over an hour reading blogs and emails and I must get home to pack and finish laundry. Another story of my life.
