Exciting news

Hi All,

It's been a crazy week as we prepare for our vacation/furlough - three weeks in Glacier!!!  Being apart during the week makes things more difficult.  Then on Tuesday AM I got a call about a job I had interviewed for months ago.  I was offered and accepted a job in COLORADO!!!  Of course, they wanted me to start mid-September, but that wasn't going to happen.  After negotiating things, I will be starting my new job in Dillon CO in October. 

I will be leaving the National Park Service and switching over to the Forest Service.  Naturally, there is lots of paperwork involved so I'm swimming in emails and faxes - ugh!  But in the long run we will be exiting the desert to head to the mountains where both John and I love (Shadow cat should like it too, Sassy... not so much, Scooter and Spot ???)

We will be living in government housing, which given the resort area is expensive is very nice.  I will be working in Visitor's Services, basically at the information desk and doing some public relations stuff.  All good things to add to my government resume.

Tomorrow we will leave for Glacier, MT.  We will head back south late in the month where John, the RV, and the cats will stay until I finish my last two weeks at Carlsbad.  Then I will drive back to Colorado and out to Dillon. 

For those of you who don't know, Dillon is near several major ski resorts including our favorite:  Copper Mountain.  If you like to ski, snowboard or spend time playing in the white stuff, keep in touch!

Love to all,

Val & John & the kitties!
