Decided to buy a Harley. All you see on the road out here in the Black Hills and Wyoming is Harley after Harley, all day long. Hard not to catch the fever. It's hard candy red two tone, the dark paint is actually metallic and looks good in the sunlight. Kendra is tentatively planning a road trip for next summer, would be a blast.

I love my job and I am DEFINITELY an adrenaline junkie. Although many people know a nurse, not many people realize what it is we do. Yes, I hand out medication and wipe butts, but what I really do is I make a difference, I make a difference in the the quality of your or you loved one's hospital stay, I ease your burdens by showing a confidence I may not feel so you can rest easy, confident in my ability and knowledge. I implement interventions on your behalf to prevent crisis. And when crisis does befall you I, along with my coworkers, began the efforts to save your life. In this environment friendships are formed, bonds of trust are forged under stress.  Yes, I love my job, I am addicted to it. I have learned so much this past year and realize how much I don't know that I am excited to continue this journey and "live the dream", that's our PCU motto "Livin The Dream."

FAHER AND SON'S CAMP

 We had father and son's camp in the Big Horn Mts. in Wyoming. We camped on this creek, which was utilized for both fishing and swimming. The weather was perfect for tenting and cooking outdoors. The little boys spent most of the 3 days shooting their BB guns and trying to float logs down stream.

 Drew and I went for a hike on this trail and encountered a pack train of mules and a cowboy.

Sunday walk in the Park

This is a park in Rapid City. Great for biking or walking. The kids love to wade in the creek and sail bark boats downstream.

An excellent way to be together as a family. One of the greatest blessings we have is being here together as a family with no babysitter available. This forces us to do everything together, which is creating awesome memories for all.

Kids climbing a tree.

I wonder if there are trout lurking in here?

Bear Country

These little guys are beyond adorable.

We bought a season pass to Bear Country. The animals are close up and plentiful. The kids are especially enchanted by the bear cubs.

Air and Space Museum

Ellsworth Air Force base in Rapid City has a air and space museum. Very interesting and family friendly museum.
