A little-bits crazy - A lotta-bits fun.

This past weekend my sister and soon-to-be brother-in-law came to have some fun in Maine. My used-to-be adventerous, wild and crazy, have no fear sister is now the spitting image of my "we are going to fast, will you just slow down you crazy maniac" momma. Out for a spin on the snowmobiles, she was all bunddled up and ready for a ride. Half way to our destination she was ready to be there and Michael may have been internally bleeding from all the hitting to slow down. But we made it to Jackman.

Refreshed from lunch, it was time for a change. We had to have the sleds back at 4:30 p.m. and at 2:45 with 35 miles to go 20 mph wasn't going to cut it. Laura was bold...she let me drive with her on the back.  Michael rode my 1-up sled and Brian was on the F6...zooom! off we went.

I checked-in a time or two to make sure she wasn't totally freaking out (or had fallen off) and it was smooth sailing. That is till I took a wide corner at 40, slid on some ice and almost knocked her and I completely off. But Laura was the perfect passenger, she stuck her leg far enough out that if we tipped all the way over she wouldn't get stuck and she pushed us back up before we ever stopped forward motion. Whew!

Everyone made it back in one piece, and no interal bleeding for me. Laura's quote of the day, "I didn't hit you to slow down cause I knew you wouldn't care. Rachel'd just get off the sled at the end of the day and ask "why are you such a pansy?""

It was an awesome trip!

So many UPDATES.

What a bad blogger I've been...so much has happened in these past few weeks!

Brian took a new full time job dispatching for Sommerset County. He misses being a cop; and the importance and meaning in his career so he's making his way back to law enforcement. First stop dispatching, next stop police force.

I'm back at Forrester working 15 hours a week. I have my own desk in the Northern office and I can walk down the hall to my computer in my sweatpants. It's been awesome so far. There is even a table full of snacks which brings memories of the girls back in Boston.

And we're looking at camps! With Brian's new job he'll be working a 12 hour night shift which means it's time to move out of our Northern Outdoors apartment. Our one room apartment isn't ideal for opposite schedules. And with no windows its hard to do anything in the daytime without turning on a light or two. Rent up here is just as much or more than a mortgage payment and utilities would be with real estate so cheap so we're looking at camps/year-round homes. That way if we ever want to move we still have a place here for vacation. (And visitors can stay for free!)
