Good Week

Well, besides the guy drama (see the previous post), this has been a really good week. I'm working all night tonight, and the lodge is quiet for the moment (it had better be since it's 4am!). I haven't heard any ghost sounds, yet, so it's not as exciting as I planned on, but I also haven't had any drunk people come in, so yipee for boring graveyard shifts! This week's highlights:
1. We conquered Harney Peak as well as Little Devil's Tower. Lots of fun, but I need to get in better shape before doing both in one day again.






From June 2009





2. Darren, my little brother finally made it to South Dakota! I was so excited to see him, especially when I found out that he did remember to bring my games. We got to spend the evening of Saturday and the morning of Sunday together, and I think he had fun. We drove over to see the buffalo, but it was so foggy I didn't think we'd be able to see them. Finally when the wildlife loop was almost over we saw a few by the road, that we probably would have missed if there weren't three other cars in front of us, with their break lights shining through the fog :) He's now seen things he's never seen before: Buffalo, Art Alley, a lake completely invisible because of fog... it was fun to have him here. He slept in my Indonesian Friends' room, and they stayed up watching a movie and playing their music. I'm not alone in the world!!! I'm so glad to have my baby brother here so we can have some shared experiences and can go into "remember that time" stories when we get home. Those are the highlights, but it's been a good week. I was right, the first two weeks are the hardest, then you get your place and feel ok. Poor Ryan, Darren's friend who came to the scout camp from Enoch- he's really homesick and might actually leave soon. One thing about our family, we rarely get homesick. Why that is, I'm not sure, but it sure comes in handy when you're far away. Independence is a great quality to instill in your children, good job mom!
