Well, I thought I would write a short update of what's been going on the last couple weeks. I spent some time in Couer d'Alene, ID for a Conference for work. The Women's Club belongs to an association of clubs called FitLife and they sponsor a retreat for owners and managers of participating clubs in the Northwest. It was a great time. I went with four other awesome women from work and I had a blast. The conference was good - we had workshops on how to cut your expenses and how to use social media as a marketing strategy along with meetings for the actual FitLife organization. The accommodations were wonderful...we stayed at the swanky Couer d'Alene resort http://www.cdaresort.com Most of all I had a great time with the ladies I went with and enjoyed getting to know them better. Jeff spent some time in Kalispell, MT for a while, but has mostly been going to class and working on his proposal and writing grants for funding.

I've been Twittering lately... if you don't know what that is, check it out at www.twitter.com The club may want to use it for marketing purposes so I thought I should familiarize myself with it. Not gonna lie... I kinda like it.

This weekend we drove up to Blodgett canyon (a hiking trail area south of Missoula in the Bitterroot Mtn Range) and when we got to the top of the icy snowy road that we shouldn't have been driving on, there was a girl who was stuck in the snow. And I don't mean "one good push" stuck. We - and several other people - were up there for about 1.5 hours trying to get her out of there. I think all of the cars of people there made it down safely. It certainly was an adventure.

Next post I am going to share some pictures that we have taken since we moved here. I need to edit them and then I can post them. Some places here are so beautiful that a picture doesn't do it justice, but I can try.
