the sixth day...

hello all! i took pictures on my little panasonic, forgetting that i didn't bring my cord to plug it into the computer, so you will have to wait until April for those photos.... we'll just say next time i venture into Bozeman (otherwise known as Bozangeles), i will have my real camera with me! the landscape is positively breathtaking...

Sunday Stephen & i drove into Bozangeles for church - it's no Coquina, but it's fellowship & worship & preaching from the Word, and i think i'll survive until mid April! the time away from the Lodge & all the vacationers for a time of fellowship with people living every day life is much more welcome than i can express, plus it's a great time for all sorts conversation on the drive there and back. Today was an almost solo day (Stephen worked a half shift this morning), and at one point, i was the only person up front with everyone else gone to lunch. i didn't burn the place down, or give away any free rooms, so i consider it a success!!! learning the nuances of the software is the toughest part, but i think i'm getting the hang of it. tomorrow i'm actually moving rooms (one door down :-p), but then i'll be settled for the rest of the season. tomorrow is actually my day off, and *hopefully* D-Day (aka attempting to learn how to snowboard!!! time to be bold...)

so that's all for now, hopefully will have more pictures to show later this week!

the day off

hello all! had the day off today, which meant sleeping in (woohoo!) and a tiny bit of exploring. seeing as how it was 17 degrees outside, i could only handle so much photo taking (so my fingers didn't fall off)! here are a few of the finalists for today's selection:








tomorrow Stephen and i will venture into Bozeman for church, followed by me having ANOTHER afternoon off (not sure what i'm going to do with all my extra time - perhaps my website will finally get updated!). tonight i'm venturing up to Baseline (about 200-250 yards away) with my coworker Jenny to hang out with some of her friends and listen to the band that's staying at the hotel... hope you all are well!

snoooooooow

a few of the things around today and yesterday, but mostly today!

Montana, day 2

supposedly there's a big storm coming in today - more on that later! day two of work, and i actually have a photo project to work on for the lodge, which should be fun! now i've got to hurry off and get ready...

day 1 begins with a view...

as i'm starting to rally and preparing to face the day ahead, when i roll over and look out the window, this is what i see...



it's ok, i wouldn't like me very much either if i were reading my blog :-D

incorrect link...

Stephen's blog is actually http://greatwhiteyonder.blogspot.com

the adventure begins!

for those of you unaware, i have accepted a position at the Lodge at Big Sky in Montana to work the front desk, help with events for visitors and i'm sure a bunch of other random events. this all happened within a 24 time period, and it was evident the Lord's hand was in this opportunity!

i'm ridiculously excited for the adventure and look forward to keeping everyone posted on the cold, hopefully successful snowboarding ventures, photos and refreshing time that i am having! i fly out Wednesday morning, which means i have to get back to packing/cleaning, but will be updating once i arrive Wednesday evening!

in the words of Michael W. Smith, "go west, young (wo)man..."
