weekend hike

We have recently decided that it is time once again to change our plan.  I know you have heard this before.  Our plan was to stay in Idaho for a year and enjoy all the seasons!  Although Sandpoint is a beautiful place it has been a struggle to live in such a small job market.  So Oregon will be our summer home again.  We do have a few stops before we settle down for the summer.  We hope to keep you all updated and share our journey with you.
Since our time is limited in Idaho we are trying to take advantage of what mother nature has blessed this place with.  The snow is melting in the foothills of the mountain and spring is in the air, we decided to take advantage of it this weekend with a hike.

Round Lake State Park, is just a few miles from home and a perfect day hike for the three of us.  We enjoyed not being all bundled up, the fresh air and all the day had to offer.  We saw so many birds the best of all a few bald eagles!!

We hope you had a great weekend!!!  Our plan for the week is to do some skiing and maybe explore some of the towns around us.

Idaho we have arrived

IDAHO!! We have arrived!!  We drove into town on Monday October 28th.  I will tell you we were a bit ridiculous with our expectations, I am not sure if we expected a parade but at least a welcoming signJ  After we had been here for a few short hours and didn’t find a place to live and were not offered a job we were talking about moving back in with Bob and Jeanne and living there for a few months.  Luckily we soon realized our irrational behavior and decided to give it a try.  We did find a place to live and I got a job.  Now before I tell you about our “house” and my job, I am going to need you to think back to when you were 19.  Ok…. you in that state of mind?  So the really cool thing about our house is that we don’t live with our parents!!  I know it’s so cool!  Don’t worry you can come over and drink and stay the night, it’s cool. 

 Ok for reals our place is a bit of a shack but our landlord didn’t care we had Tinka and our rent is cheap.  Maybe if I am feel up to it I will post a few pictures… only if you promise to pretend you are 19 when looking at themJ 

My wonderful fabulous job is at a diner and believe it or not I am the baker. They are famous for their pies so as of now I am a baker. For some reason we were thinking that jobs would be easy to get, but that is not the case around here there is not much at all!!! I just keep thinking…. I am here to ski!!  The good news about that is that at least we have our ski passes and now we just wait till the mountain fills up with snow!

Welcome!
