Frost

So, I have survived half of my first Montana winter! I was so afraid of what winter could have brought, but it's a breeze! I was expecting it to be continuously cold in the negatives, however, that only lasts a couple of days at a time. It's been consistantly in the 20s for the last week, but the wind chill is freezing! There hasn't been snow in awhile, but I woke up this morning to all the trees being white! It's actually very pretty as you can see from the pic I posted.

Work is going well, and I have found I still hate paperwork. I don't think that is ever going to change. Being with the kids in the sessions has been awesome! I'm reminded everyday why I went into this field. There is more planning than I thought, though. I love supervision with Nellie because I'm able to get feedback about what I'm doing and how I can do it better. Hopefully, someday soon I won't feel so new at all of this and be more confident.

Love Y'all!

Toto, we're not in NY anymore!

I just got my new license plates today!

So, now I can go to state parks for free, and I won't have to worry about the cops coming after me about my car having out of state plates!

P.S. Here's my Chunker Butt, Leo!

-20!!!!

It is cold in Montana today!

My car tried not to start this morning, however, I made it do so! I have yet to get my headbolt heater installed, so I need to do that soon!

The one thing that bugs me about this weather is that when I track snow into my car, it doesn't melt and it stays there for days on end. It just keeps piling up. Lana and Leo are so lucky to be able to stay inside and not venture out into this abominable coldness.

On a side note, a new elementary therapist has been hired and now I'm showing her some of the ropes since she is new to Shelby. It feels good to not be the newbie anymore!

Hallelujah! I'm home!

Hey everyone!!!

I made it back to Montana in one piece! Although I didn't come back with my luggage... In fact, I didn't arrive in Syracuse with it either! To those of you who haven't heard, United Airlines lost my suitcase. I'm over it though, as long as I get reimbursed for it! Then, I was delayed almost 24 hours in the travel process from Syracuse to Montana.

Well, the time spent with my family was great, even though the traveling wasn't. I got to see my grandpa (and I didn't think I would since he was in Atlanta). I didn't get to see any of my college friends because of the weather. :( Sorry Mama!

Happy New Year to you all! 2009 was great and I hope 2010 is even better. Who knows, maybe I'll meet the man of my dreams in small town Shelby! I'm made some resolutions, although I haven't really planned the details of them yet.

Lana and Leo survived a week without me, thanks to Jill! I think I missed them more than they missed me!

See ya!
