Just wanted to drop you all a quick line and let you know that we made it safely across the flatlands and the badlands and ended up in the great little town of Helena, Mt.
After the first week of work I (jason) think I will really enjoy actually using my degrees to help clean up the hazardous waste spills in Montana. We were talking the other day and I have successfully put off working a typical 8-5 day for the past 5 years. Not too bad but I think this job I will really enjoy and it will allow me to get to see a lot of Montana and hopefully perserve some of this amazing land for future generations.
Rebecca is in the process of deciding between two jobs and I think is looking forward to getting back to treating people and making a difference in their lives.
We have a neat little Condo/townhouse place and have explored a little bit of Helena and the surronding area. For the past week we've been living without furniture becuase the truck has yet to arrive. But this has allowed us to recapture some of our Peace Corps experience and we've enjoyed noseing around goodwill and consignment shops for furniture and other stuff we'll need. The best thing we've found so far is a bread machine that works great and makes huge loaves for 3 dollars!!! There's also a great natural food store and library with fast internet and interesting movie selection. Once the movers get here tomorrow I'm sure we'll be busy busy getting everything unpacked and organized.
Well this Saturday morning we slept in all nice and cozy in our sleeping bags and when we pulled open the curtains there were snow flaks a-falling and a nice dusting on the mountains behind our house and surronding the town. Just a taste of what's to come. It'll be in the 70s by Monday. But we're wondering why the thermometer the previous tenets left goes down to -60F. WE'll see!!!!
Our new address is:
1117 Woodbridge Dr.
Helena MT 59601
our phone is still 757-407-2129 but we'll probably be changing that shortly.
Hope you are all well and we will be informing you on all of our wintery adventures soon.
Love,
Rebecca and Jason
