I want one please

So I have passed a motorcycle safety course and now have a state issued license to drive a motorcycle. 98% on the written exam and 100% on the skills test. Yes, I am that good. I was taking the class to get a feel of whether or not I would want to eventually own a motorcycle. The class was well taught and coached, now I want one. Period.

2 weeks until I start my new job as a Trail Crew Leader for the Olympic National Forest. Excited for a summer in the woods!

2 YRS. & A Sigh of relief

Today marks a special date --> 2 years for Andrea and I. We have been together for 2 years. It has been a great run! We have had so much fun together. So many new experiences together, both good and bad. We have grown together and I am excited for what the future brings us. Let the adventure continue.

Today was also a special day for job hunting. It all started when I received an email from a past supervisor saying that he had received 2 calls this morning regarding 2 positions I have applied for, one in the Pacific Northwest and another in Colorado. Just as I was writing back to say thanks for the help, I received a call from Colorado. It was a gentleman from the Gunnison Ranger District offering me a position. We talked and it was GREAT. The feeling of accomplishment! To be wanted as an employee at something I really want to do... Whilst I was on the phone chatting away, I received another call from the Quilcene Ranger District informing me that they would like to offer me a position as well. TOOK IT! It is a GS-5 Wilderness & Trails Ranger Position. Although it would have been nice to make it back to Colorado, whether it was Aspen area or Gunnison area, I am glad I will still be in the Pacific Northwest. Bring on the summer in the woods.

I have decided to celebrate with a delicious Franziskaner Dunkel Weisse and some Annies Deluxe Mac n Cheese. I deserve it, ooh and it is so good.
