Kyle has been working very hard with the forest service. He works ten hour days and hikes between 10-12 miles every day while carrying a 40 lbs chain saw. His only relief comes on Thursdays when his crew spends the day mowing lawns at camp grounds. Here are a couple pictures of him hard at work.

I love how color coordinated he is when he works. His friend said that he looks a little like Bob the Builder, and I think I have to agree.

This tree is 3000 years old. It is a good thing he didn't really cut it down.

Our new adventure

Now that I am done with school, Kyle and I have to move on to our next adventure. Kyle moved to Moscow, ID on Saturday; Wicket and I will be moving there in a couple of weeks. Kyle and I both have new jobs and Kyle starts school at University of Idaho in August. He will be working on earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I will begin working at the hospital in Lewiston this July. I will be working as an RN in the pediatrics department. After I have oriented and worked on the floor for a while I will be crossed trained to also work in the neonatal intensive care unit sometimes. I am so excited about this and can't wait to start.

Kyle also has a new job. He now works for the forest service out of Potlatch, ID (this is the closest forest service department to Moscow). He is excited to get to spend his summer in the forest again.

As for Wicket, I am still not sure if he understand that we will be moving soon. I have tried to explain it to him but every time I tell him that are going to leave he just looks at me, wobbles a little bit and begs for food. I guess that he will find out soon enough.

I will try and keep the blog updated more often so that all of our fans can stay informed on all of the wonderful and exciting things happening in our life.

Graduation

I finally Graduated from Nursing School. After 2 years of prerequisits and 2 years in the nursing program I finally finished. It felt like this day would never come, but I am so glad it did. It seems strange not having lectures to go to and no more tests to study for. I still have to take my boards before I can officially be called a RN but the hard stuff is already done. Here are a few pictures from the pinning ceremony.
