So last night I met up with Cass (my other older non-related-brother) and his family for dinner and some hang-out time which was wonderful. His 4 year old daughter is a hoot!!
Then this morning I got up and went back to Ft. Lewis for interviews. They all went really really well... but these school systems are in the same boat as many others with not knowing how their budget will fall for next year and/or what positions they will be hiring for. Soooo.... not a waste of time for sure, but still frustrating.
Then I had lunch with my (non-related) Aunt Jane and Uncle Jim and got caught up with them. It is just so nice to be around people that have known and loved me forever... and to be in a place that I know and love... this really is so much "home" for me. I don't have my heart set on landing back here for a job, but it would be wonderful to be closer.
After lunch I walked around town a little, and then came back out to camp for another long rambling hike with the dogs. We went up the valley to a waterfall that has drastically changed from what I remember as a kid... but there was a large forest fire here several years ago which could have affected it also. Anyway, it was still another delightful, quiet, long dog-walk.
I'm headed back to the Springs tomorrow, and other than missing my Fat Kitty... I really don't want to go back. :(

There's a lot of truth in the saying, "Home is where the heart is." Sometimes we move to where the heart is, and sometimes we move the heart. Either way, it's called happiness.
Oh, I hope you get a job around that area! I keep checking your blog to see what's going on in that department :o) And I can't wait to come visit you (and bring the family) once you get settled somewhere. You NEED to meet my girls!
WHAT...you don't want to get back to the springs to see me?!?! I'm glad that the interviews went well, but sorry to hear that you aren't coming home with a job. I'm still crossing my fingers that one of your top picks will call you and offer a job, especially Estes Park!
You have alot of non-related relatives. hee hee
