So So So......

I have been meaning to udate this for a while....anyway thursday was my last day of work until April!!!!!!!!! Well Technically I will work during before that but I will be at training so that doesn't really count.

I wasn't totally sure when I would be getting laid off so I decided to not visit anyone on my way home this time. I also wanted to make sure that I made it home in time for thanksgiving. Plus I would like to be able to spend time with people I stop and visit not just sleep there and then take off right So sorry if you were hoping for a visit from me....hopefully I can visit lots of people in the spring

In case you are wondering where I am well I am currently in Fort Morgan, Colorado. I left CA yesterday so I am making pretty good time.

Hopefully I continue to have good weather tommorow....adios

Andrew's Halloween

Here is my nephew's halloween costume....I cant remeber what he said he was but I thought he had a pretty good costume.

I am excited to get home and spend a little time with him.....he is always cracking me up in one way or another

long time no picture

Since I haven't posted any pictures in a long time here is our crew photo for this year...it was taken in the grand canyon at the begining of the season and lets just say most of the guys didn't look quite the same by the end of the season

well after looking at the photo it is pretty blurry opps

Holy moly!!!

This week has been much busier than I had anticipated. This perscribed burn has been taking up most of my time. Today is the first chance I have had to come up and use the computer...it is crazy how early it has been getting dark these days.

I am glad that I got a chance to read everyone's blogs today. It seems to me that lots of my friends have been having some bad days and I just wanted to say that I am here for all of you and have been thinking about you. I know that well all have those days when things aren't how we want them to be. I can for sure say that I have them. anyway I just want you all to know that I love you all.

In other things some stuff at work had been bugging me and it is better now that the seasonals have left. But without saying to much all I know is that I was raised with certain beliefs, morals and values and no matter what I am going to stick to those no matter what other people think and if that makes people not like who I am for doing what I believe is right well f@*k them....that is what I say. Anywas thanks mom and dad for teaching me to stick to my beliefs and doing what I know is right...even if the majority of the crowd doesn't think so.

well even though it is early I am beat.....walking all day and burning things up takes it out of ya.

Its supposed to snow tomorrow we will see what happens!!1

where have I been

Here aer a few things that I need to update everyone on

Q. So Amy where have you been the last week?

A. Well last week we ended up doing a prescribed burn in the park form mon- wed and then we pushed the lay off date for the seasonals back until friday so that meant we had our end of the season party on Thrusday night. Then friday I headed down to Santa Barbara to run a half marathon.

Q. How did the end of the season party go?
A. Well fun was had by all...we drank a little had a big bonfire, drank a little more. watched the end of the season slideshow and then finished the night off drinking

Q. How was the Half Marathon?
A. well since I didn't really feel like running 13.1 miles since I have been burning and then had a big party where not much sleep happened I was planning on it being very painful. but it ended up not being that bad. Laura and I went out wanting to finish in under 2 hours and we did just that finished in 1 hour 59 minutes. The last two miles were the hardest but in the end it ended up being a good time. I think 2hrs for 13 miles is pretty good especially since I didn't train at all to run it and I havent ran that far since college

Q. So what is in store now?
A. Funny you should ask. I think that they are going to have the 3 of us senior firefighters go and help with a burn for wed til sun should be good as long as it doesn't rain. Then I will be working until the 16th and then I should be layed off

Q. What happend when you get laid off?
A. I am heading back to MN and should be there for thanksgiving.....then I am heading over to MI for AJ's wedding and after that who know

Well I think that is the quick and dirty of where I have been the last week. Thank you for your time
