The long delay

no computer = no posts
no computer = hours of catching up to do that, I will say it, SHOULD be done in ways other than via the computer. (I have too strong of feelings about this, so I will deal with later not on the blog)
no computer = an irregular post that might not make sense

Montana has been an extremely hot summer. In the 90-100 degree heat for 3 weeks straight now. What does this mean to the outsider? Fire fire fire. Except that it has literally been everyone around our department and not us. But, we have had 2x's the amount of calls than usual. I went on my first fatality the other night. It began at 10:20 when the call went out, and ended at 3:30 when I finally rolled into bed. Huge motor vehicle accident. BIG truck v. car=devistation. My first of I'm sure many to come. And this is what I have been trained for. But it's amazing to actually be there and have it happen.
So, let's see.
QUICK UPDATE
*moved out of the loft cabin
*moved into a big 3 bedroom house. (that means anyone can come visit and enjoy my newly decorated guest room!)with running water, showers, toliets indoors(I miss my outhouse though) ***TANGENT***
I don't know if I have ever explained the amazing wonder of my outhouse. I need to go take pictures of it for a future blog. Yes, back burner this tangent for a future picture story!
*trying to find a RN program I don't have to wait 3 years before getting in and beginning.
*have had mom, Josh, Toby all visit from Chicago. Mom totally helped move me in and bought cute stuff for my new home. How much do we all love moms?!!!! The bummer of having Josh here was that I really didn't get to spend any time with my hose. And we both felt it. The day they left he cried terribly because he didn't get to see me enough. So, September, when I come home for a visit, I am going to spend a good amount of time with the hose. Take him for a day and just do Kriiiisssteeen/josssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyy things.
*busiest season of my year. "Summertime, when all you want to do is play but have to work hard everyday." (song I sing to myself at work on days when it's super nice out and I want to go sit on the lake)
*love the structure of life, but hate mundaness sometimes.
*Ty and I are doing great. Learning more and more about each other daily and loving it. We are both looking forward to hunting season. Ty's dog "JR." lost his leg about a month ago and is the most amazing 3 legged animal either of us has ever seen. We've been playing catch with him and hunt ur up alot getting him ready for duck season. This weekend we'll take him swimming for the first time and see how that goes. can a dog swim with three legs? He sure can hop!
*Planning a trip to Chicago to see Pez get married, and visit friends. Ty's best friends will be here for my 30th birthday party. I may take after my friend Curtis and start journaling about the 30 years of life I have lived as an excercise. It's amazing how much life can happen in so little time. Precious moments. Shoot.
*Family here is great. Kate, Mike and the boys and I get to hang a lot. I still love being here to watch them grow. I know them and they know me and that's just super cool.
*Planning weekends to Washington and southern Montana hopefully soon and a future road trip all over the states. Perhaps to a town near you my beloved friends spread all over the world. I miss you more than words can express. To quote MW SMith,
"a lifetimes not too long, to live as friends."
