The Leaves are a changin'

So much to catch up on.  

First the big news, for those that are not on Eff Book....I am EMPLOYED!!!! I had a busy August with quite a few interviews and one day spent observing at one location.  I was really happy to have had some interview experience.  I was even invited for a second interview at the University, to meet with the coach and rest of the staff as a sort of meet and greet. 

Without re-living every detail of my exciting week with three job offers...I decided to accept an offer as an Administrative Aide for a company in Missoula.  Mark and I were hoping that I could find something locally in Hamilton, but it just didn't happen that way.  I started at Missoula Correctional Services on 8/26.  Everyone here keeps asking me how I am liking the hour commute, and I just tell them I would take a 50mile drive going 70 mph over a 50 mile drive on I405 in Washington any day!

We have attended our first Griz football game of the 2014 season with the Triple J's.

As per the usual, it was a good time with good friends.  We sat in our new seats, still in the North End Zone, but closer towards the cannon that goes off with every touchdown. 

The next day, M and I decided to take a road trip to parts South and ended up having lunch in Challis, ID.  It was such a beautiful day for a drive down and then back up the Salmon river.  We even took a little time to see the booming metropolis (NOT) of Shoup.  Definitely out of the way, and the only reason you would go up there is to float the river.  But all the same, it was a good day with my hunny. 

 

 That's just some of what we have been doing while M has been home this month.  We are going to miss the Roberts' Sibling Fishing Weekend in Forks this year, so M and EW are heading there tomorrow for a few days to slay some salmon.  Keep your fingers crossed for them!
