Yes I know.... This may win the award for the worlds most neglected blog.... I know for sure that is will win the award for the blog with the worst grammer and spelling errors.
Needles to say, since this is mostly for me to get my thoughts down I suppose it does not matter all that much.

I have not been living breathing working and exploring northidaho since the end of the summer.
So far it has been ... an entirely exciting and pain in the ass at the same time experience.

I have been working st North West for six months now.  Not too shabby, twice as long as any of my seasonal agrements, half as long as my longest stint at a job ever... I have to admit that the job drives me up the wall. It has recently improved.... some.

The biggest reason that it has gotten better is because I have been able to cut back my hours that I work there. Three months ago I was deserpate for what ever hours they could give me. This would end up looking like a lot of burn out, I was driving all over the pan handle to get back and forth  to work and home. Leslie was not bring in a lot of money, neither was I. Needless to say it was a pain in the ass and not working out at all.
Les and I decided to move to sandpoint  in November, so that when she was done with school in december we would  have a home already set up and good to go. With that being said there was still the whole part of her having to find a job.... the long and the short of it is that the day she graduated she got offered a  job with Idaho Fish and Game. So far she has been there for about a month and a half and seems to like it and be happy. It is also nice because the pressure is off me to be the one and only bread winner.

I have worked my first two courses with WMI of NOLS teaching wilderness Mediceine classes. It has been a challenging yet eye opening and rewarding developmental experience. I have another class coming up in two  weeks and one more in april and may. So by the start of the summer I will have worked five courses for them one year after I applied for the job. I hope that I can fill a lot of my time this fall being on the road and teaching as much as I can. We shall see. This relationship is still young and like anything new it needs time to florrish and thrive. So far the fun and reward outweigh the anxiety.

I really need to get off my butt and see what needs to happen  for me to re new anything other then my basic EMT.... I have mixed thoughts on the matter. I will not be working  at the ALS level any time soon, in fact I would be really stoked to be working back at the basic level  out side of teaching.... all i know is that i really have  two months to figure it out..... time will tell. I think at this point it would not be that big of a deal to take the last few ALS CEH's to but it up for another cycle, but is it the right thing to do?

in other news I am trying to work my way into doing some other part time field work this summer, and perhaps this spring.  I am not sure what sort of direction that will be going in, but I know for right now I do not have  enough to do with my self, and I need to get out of the house more, I need to be working more..... we shall see.  there are several options that are floating around.

of course in the middle of all that is great and grand in this thing called life, Les and I need to decide when we are going to get married and start planning that.... and figure out where the event is going to take place of course..... we shall see..
That is all for now
more later, hopefully not in another six months.
