updates

Lots of stuff has been going on lately. First off, Aaron came up with a great idea for what we can be when we grow up! He can get a job working for the Forest Service, testing water, and this kind of position has openings in EVERY state, all the time. So he'd do that for a year or two, then move on to a different place with an opening in a higher position, and we can keep doing that for a while until he gets to where he wants to be in that career, and then we can stay there.

As for me, I can use my degree in education to teach workshops and go to classrooms teaching students about the forests and fire dangers and stuff like that. It's seasonal work, most likely, but with the money Aaron would be making, and I could have other jobs, it'd work out just fine! Or it might not be seasonal; I could be in and out of classrooms all school year, then teach workshops during the summer, when most people are in the forests.

Also, Aaron and I have a goal for this summer - to see all the caves in the Black Hills. We started off today by looking at Wonderland Cave, and next week, we can go somewhere else. He's seen all the caves with his family, but that was 10-15 years ago for him, and I've never seen any of them, so this is kinda cool for me. I have pictures of Wonderland Cave on my Dropshots website, if you want to check them out. I'm no photographer, but they turned out as okay as they can in a dark cave.

I keep getting called in to work extra shifts at work, and it's getting kinda stupid because I just want to have my days off and relax and not have to fill in for other people. Also, Aaron and I are taking next weekend off to visit Minneapolis, MN to see some of his friends from when he went to school out there. I've requested it off verbally and on paper at work, and haven't received my paper "OK" by the boss, but he said three weeks ago that it would be alright. I'm going to be super pissed if he forgot about it. But I'm going, and that's that. Work is getting kinda dumb and I'm tired of it. I can get a job dealing down town and make more money and not have to put up with as much shit, and I'm seriously considering it.

Anywho...until next time!
