New home and New job

Sorry about the huge delay in blogging. Moving an entire house sure is time consuming. Not only that but it took me days to finally locate my camera case. I think that might be the worst part about moving. Not being able to find anything. So here are some pictures of the new place. I forgot to take some of the inside but it is so beautiful and homeish. Top it off with a couple of pregnant horses on the acre in the back and you've got my dream life. Too bad the people we are renting it from are just gone for the summer so come Sept we'll have to re-locate again. Oh well, it was worth it for the horses.

















Also posted are pictures from my new job at Yellowstone Bear World. It's an animal refuge that does drive through tours and has park rides and an animal zoo. Great place for the kids. These are the 3 month old bear cubs that we are raising right now. They are taken from their mothers at 1 and 1/2 months so the male bears don't kill them and the caretakers bottle feed them after that- every 3 hours. So I've been helping out with that for a little bit and let me just say they are the cutest little things. Pretty vicious though with their claws and extra sharp teeth. I come away with scratched arms every time.

In other news I've had the world worst cold/ flu combo the last two days. super sore throat and a temperature of 102- 103 and cold sweats like you wouldn't believe. Ugh- I hate being sick! Good thing I have Cody around to nurse me. I wonder how single people even get better. I swear half of my recovery is due to him.
Also this monday Cody and I hosted our first bonfire at our new house and lots of friends showed up including Brian, Amanda and Kate. It sure was a lot of fun. Too bad one of our fire sobe bombs went off right when one of the neighbors drove by. You fill a sobe bottle with gasoline and set it in the fire and it sends off a fire plume 20 feet tall. Really cool looking but probably doesn't make us look very responsible. Anyway- I'll try and follow up with some more pictures of the house and what not.
