Training/Vacation all in one!

Last weekend was a fun one, I had training in Lovell Wy on Suicide Intervention and Domestic Violence. Brian tagged along with me and we made it a nice small vacation. :) A lot of Brian's family lives up in Big Horn county, so we got to see LOTS of family while up there. Most of them I was meeting for the first time, and I must say I was VERY impressed with them all! Brian has a huge family, his Dad is one of 7 kids and his Mom one of 12. (I hope that's right) Most of the family we saw was on Brian's Dad's side, (and Brian actually met a cousin he had never met before) and we got to see one of his Mom's sisters. :)
The motel room we stayed in in Lovell had a funny smell in it and at night ants would crawl around on the tiled part of the room. EWW!! During the day time I would get up and go to training while Brian went fishing with his uncle Archie. Fishing up that way is wonderful, Brian caught tons of fish and even came home smelling like them. :) At night was when we visited family, and traveled back and forth from tiny town to tiny town. On the way home I was driving and just couldn't keep my eyes open so we ended up staying in a hotel in Lander. It was very nice and gave us both a chance to get some well deserved rest. That next morning we went out to breakfast at a place called Maverik (no not the gas station) and drove around Lander just enjoying the morning and getting to know a new town which is always fun. :)
When we got home we walked into a freezing cold house. I thought for sure that I hadn't turned the heater off before we left, when I checked the thermostat it said it was 57 degrees in our house. We ended up buying a brand new thermostat (which is not cheap) and having a heater guy come over to find out what else was wrong. We went 4 days without any heat in our house... yes we FROZE!! The heater guy finally came yesterday and got it fixed. Oh the joys of owning a house!! Plus our dishwasher broke! ha ha, I could go on all day about the things that are wrong with the house but we just wont go there.
We decided for sure to buy a Camper so we have been surfing the internet and newspaper trying to find the perfect one for us. Brian found a couple on the internet that he has called about, so hopefully when we see them one of them will be something we like.
I wanna apologize for this post, I am sure it makes no sense and is all out of order but it is 1:30 in the morning and I am having a very hard time staying awake. Work is so boring tonight! Still have no new pics to post but maybe someday in the future I will post some.

Sounds like you had a great time. I'm so glad that Brian got to go with you, I'm sure it was good for both of you.
I'm so glad you were able to come here Saturday. It is soooo good to see you both and spend time with whole family.
All Our Love,
