Well, here it is...the moment you have all been waiting for. I finally got my camera cord. Bring on the pictures!! By the way Kona is actually sleeping in those funny belly up shots.











Here's the AmeriCorps group. I'm on the bottom second from the right.

the conformed

I went sledding this weekend with Kori and Kona. We took airboards. If you've never been on an air board you really should. They go faster and hurt less. An invention that should have happened years ago. Work is going good. I'm leaving for Boise tomorrow and have decided to take Kona because where I'm driving instead of flying it's actually cheaper to take her with me than it would be to board her. Plus it's more fun for me. I can't wait for spring. I don't even care about snowboarding anymore. I can't afford it and my toes and fingers always get so cold, I just want it to be warm. I want to rock climb and sweat. I want to wear sandals and get a chaco tan. I want to not worry about grabbing a jacket, and gloves and beanie and wool socks and warming the car up 10 min before I can leave. I want to feel sunshine!! I want to live where it is warm. After going over my finances, I have decided not to go back to school right after this job, but take a few temporary field technician jobs for another year or so. I'm excited, I think it will be fun. Maybe I'll go down to Arizona, or even better maybe I'll skip the country and go down to South America or Africa or something.

here are some pictures that I had to take so something was in the news letter I send out. I really wish I didn't have to take them today. I'm feeling a little under the weather so I didn't really get ready this morning. Oh well, at least Kona looks good.

I've decided to just stay in Roberts. First of all, I really don't want to move. It's freezing outside and I don't want to pack up all my stuff. Second, I've decided come summer, I'm either going to leave Kona in my truck (the back) when I'm at work or if she wants she can just stay at the house like other country dogs. I don't care that I have to drive anymore because in Idaho, you really do have to drive to get anywhere no matter where you live. I don't care about the gym anymore because I can't afford a memebership and I don't care about living alone because believe it or not I feel busy and even have a mental list of things I want to do when I get the time.
Kona is doing so well with training. She can sit, lay down, shake and we're working on roll over. She is starting to get interesting in chasing cars though :( But she also did and interesting thing today. We were on a walk and she acted all excited and looked out into this field. When I stepped out a bunch of birds took off and she chased them as they flew off. The part I thought was interesting was she waited to chase them until after they were in flight. I think that's a pretty good sign I could train her to be a birding dog. Anyways, enough about the dog.
I'll be having dinner at my house tomorrow (tuesday) night and every tuesday night for the next year or so. Everybody within a 50 mile radius that I know should be there. If you're not, it will hurt my feelings...so be prepared.

I just want everyone to know that right now in Idaho Falls it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit and with wind and humidity it feels like 0 according to the weather.com page.
