30th of September

Well as of yesterday Greg and I transferred over to another Grand Teton Lodge Company location. It is about 8 miles away from where we were at Colter Bay. I am no longer working at the Marina :(, however I am working as a housekeeping inspector and it is definitely keeping me busy. My job is to go around to the rooms that have been cleaned and I inspect them before we open them up for availability of purchase. When I go into the rooms I have to make sure everything is where it needs to be along with the correct amount of coffee bags, mugs, towels, toilet paper and liquids (hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash) in the liquid dispenser. Today was my 2nd day on the job and I had over 45 rooms to inspect. You do not really get a break, but lots of exercising!! Anyways, Greg and I have 12 days till we head back to Indiana. We will be looking for a house in the Western Side of South Bend, IN. We are excited to be heading back and seeing family. Hopefully I will have a little more time to blog. On our way back we will be heading up through Yellowstone and through the black hills area. I am excited about that. I always LOVE going through Yellowstone. Such a beautiful place. Hopefully I will be able to continue adding pictures of life here and eventually I will add pictures of the ride home. Today has been a long day and I am heading off to relax! Miss you all!

First day of September 2011

It has been such a long since blogging, but I am hoping to do my best to keep up with it. The past month has been a roller coaster! Work has been fun, but also slowing down at the same time. Greg and I have been able to go to Idaho Falls 2 times within the last month. We also have been able to ride the Gondola lift up to one of the mountains and then had an appetizer and root beers at the restaurant that has one of the the best views hands down! On our way to the Gondola in Teton Village we got to see two large bull moose! Oh my goodness what an amazing experience! I have seen a moose far away, but two this close together!?? Before we set off to get to the Gondola we stopped at the Moose Visitor Center. We did not have too much time to stay and look around. My goal was to pick up a map that they had there. This map is one of the entire Teton National park area! On the back it goes into great detail of how the mountains were formed and also about the wildlife in the park area. One of the boat captains suggested I purchase one of these as a tool for being a first mate and narrating while on the boats. After the visitor's center we headed off and head a ball at the deck restaurant! Such fun :)

Today is another start of the days off for Greg and I. We may go into Jackson town to get things for Greg's camping adventure. Greg and Ray are going to be camping out on Elk Island. They are going to be dropped off by one of the Marina boats and spend a whole day hiking around and exploring! Saturday morning the breakfast cruise has breakfast on Elk Island. They are going to eat Breakfast and then head back on the cruise boat! I will get to be on the cruise boat because I will be first mate and narrating! What an exciting story to add into my narration. That will definitely be another blog post! Pray all goes well! One thing that I have started doing is making more earrings. I have also started to make earring and bracelet sets. It is a fun thing to do when wanting to relax and wind down after a physical hard day of work. I have been so thankful for such a physical work job. It keeps me in shape and I feel very healthy! I miss you guys and hope all of you are doing well!! Love you all! See ya next time!
