You may be wondering where Jared and I have been for the last few months: Work and School. Jared is doing all of the paper work that you have to do at the EIIFC during the winter months when there are no fires. He is also doing stuff at EITC in Idaho Falls where he plans classes for people so they can be qualified to do certain things (as I understand it). I am still in the Occupational Therapy Program at ISU and trying to maintain passing grades. This semester is hard. Luckily I have a very supportive and patient husband who supports me and is always doing something for me. I tell him it will take an eternity to try to make it even...maybe longer!

One time during my undergrad studies I had to teach kids in an after school program. Jared, having special connections with Smokey Bear, helped me do a presentation for the kids. It was a huge hit with the kids. Just another instance where I owe him one! ;)
