HAAA!!!

Approximately 7 weeks left to go before I am officially laid off from the fire world. It's slowing down and getting boring. May be leaving for Idaho this week to get on some of the big fires up there. Who knows though because things change daily in this line of work. I still don't know about school. I was feeling optimistic before, but as the weeks go on and I hear nothing about my placement I start to think about what I will do next. I have no where to live and no job come november, so if I am not in school the question is where do I go? If anyone has any great ideas let me know. I'm still praying I will be in Denver by January, but things never go as planned in my life. I'm afraid I will take off to another foreign country for the winter if I am not in school. Not that traveling would be a bad idea, but I'm broke and I need to fight my traveling addiction. I need intervention cause I'm already looking up flights for far away places. I'm ready to finish my nursing so I can move to the destination of my choice and buy a house. I can always go back to Archaeology, but I know where my true passion lies. Help I'm going mad!

I'm a bad blogger

A couple of firefighters from New Mexico and I at a fire in the Boise National Forest.

I haven't had much time or interest in posting anything for so long. I thought I may try and post something for those who care. This summer I have been living near Moab, Utah working as a Wildland Firefighter. It's been a hell of a summer and I'm ready for it to be over. I am waiting to hear if I can start my nursing clinicals in January. I really hope that it works out because I'm ready to finish and start having somewhat of a more stable life. I know that this doesn't sound like me, but I've been living in my truck for over a year now and I starting to feel like a need a home.

I went to Telluride, Colorado this weekend to do some mountain biking and I officially have found the place of my dreams. I have been there one other time and immediately fell in love with the place. My hopes of moving there were crushed when I found out how expensive the place is. After visiting for the second time I am now determined to find a way to move there. I camped in the most incredible spot in the San Juans and went mountain biking. I think that the San Juans are by far the most incredible mountains I have been to. My new plan is to hopefully finish nursing school within the next year,move to Telluride, get a job at the hospital, meet a rich man with a house in the mtns., and become a ski bum. Until then I'm living in my truck in the Abajo Mtns. until about the end of October and fighting any remaining forest fires that should come about.
