Ahhh the drama. Been wonderful. The father and I were married only two months when I discovered he was runnin with an ex. I hold two jobs, my reg full time and then my volunteer dept and we do scheduled shifts at the dept so my sched was VERY busy with work. He couldn't take the absence I suppose and took comfort elsewhere. So now here I am pregnant and doing it alone. He's very adament he wants no part of this child. Oh well, not much to be done till we go to court for the divorce!!! (Ohio won't hear a divorce case during pregnancy)

I was indeed at the Bozeman explosion -- for about 9 hours. What a day, I was rather tired at the end. About 3 building were just gone and severe damage done to some others.

Yeah... it was crazy watching part of Bozeman go, then Whitehall, then Miles City (from fire, not explosion). I'm a student at MSU, been there for 3 years, and loving it. Volunteering with the fire department (Rae/Sourdough) for about 1.5 years.

Yeh, I believe that day WAS the first....lol. Did you send a Graduation card to my daughter? If so, thank you. She left right after graduation and will be back this weekend and I will give it to her. Hope to be seeing you on more MVA's this summer :)....not to sound morbid.

My week has been relatively uneventful. I'm home in Oregon visiting friends and family, not in Bozeman. I won't be back in Bozeman until August. I have an internship in California in July-August. So, no firefighting for me until I go back to MT for the fall semester.

How's your week going?

I had a relaxing holiday break - went home to Oregon for three weeks. Otherwise, life in Bozeman has been pretty uneventful lately. No big calls or anything. Hope you had a good Christmas and New Years!
