horsey horsey on my way

Well for it only being (the white horse) Bean's second time out she did really well. We went out this morning for a fun ride in the hills and were suprised to find out that both the white and the bay horse did a great job. Bean's the little white one that I'm riding. The one Cody's on is named rouge for a strip of white hair in her mane. Other than a couple spookes at barbed wire and cow corpses, both horses did great and we're looking forward to taking them up in the mountains tomorrow. We've spent the last month or so just visiting bean every day, loungeing her and teaching her to behave as a horse should. We're hoping that she is pregnant and will have her foal may of next year. (don't worry that diagnosis doesn't apply to me :)

The waiting on a forest fire continues as we hope to make some money to carry us through the next semester of school. So if anyone has any "burning" pyotechnic desires to start a forest fire- well Cody and I would be indebted to you. :)

hello!

Cody and I enjoyed our 2 month anniversary by going up to a beautiful place called bloomington lake. Since we've been waiting for the last couple of months to be called out on a fire we finally decided to head out into nature. We spent a lovely afternoon sitting by the lake, eating a lunch and going for a dip in the water. And to top it all off we passed by a wild moose, wading through the water. Idaho is possibly one of the most beautiful places created by God.

We're hoping to be called out on a forest fire in the next several weeks before we have to head back up to school. So far working for the U.S. Forest Service has yielded little work this summer. Hopefully we'll be posting firefighter pictures in the next post!
